In this SSU video, a #Russian soldier (almost killed by comrades) tells his story how his Lt. & he tried to save lives of #Ukrainian civilians in #Kharkiv despite the deputy commander of their regiment Lt.Col. ordered to kill them together with Lt. and him. [Video 1. Thread]
[2] Rus. soldier: “Our ‘Zampolit’ [dep. com-r of regiment] ordered to fire at those… to block the roads. – Wait! Where? – In #Kharkiv, the freeway around the city. – When? – On Feb 24. – What was your mission? – No mission. The ‘Zampolit’ of our regiment made up all our tasks.”
[3] Rus. soldier: “When we began to block the freeway [in Kharkiv on Feb 24], civilians started protesting saying they need to go home, to work, somewhere else. Soon, our regiment Lt.Col. ‘Zampolit’ got annoyed and ordered to open fire at civilians.”
[4] Rus. soldier [breathing heavily]: “When they [his comrades] opened fire [at civilians], the cars began turning around and drive away, and some people began hiding from bullets anywhere.” THE END OF PART 1. WATCH PART 2 NEXT.
