The recent video posted by a russian propagandist is "concerning".
There are issues with what is shown, mainly related with the alleged wounds.
In the short vid, it's obvious that there is NO marks of any shooting in the right leg and no blood on the ground. #ActorStudio 1/3
In the 1st and longer vid, the legbands are very very clean despite the blood being under it. It seems the russian soldiers just laid on the blood. 2/3
I believe rashists have used a couple of real wounder soldiers to stage a fake video. The absence of any yellow/blue chevrons on the standing soldiers also indicates that the video is very very doubtious 3/3
The wounded soldier said that he is from Azerbaidjan...
What is also very strange: you can see (and hear) a shoot (the second), and the smoke is also visible in front on the trouser.
Seems that the shooting was next to the leg.
The guys goes on the ground without even moaning.
Of course, there is no blood coming out of his leg later
If I am not mistaking (the vid quality is very poor), one of the servicemam standing with a gun seems to have white armband (possible legband too).
of course, this part of the video hasn't been published by the russian propagandist.
This must be an admission that the video is staged!
The long version
We found the azeri guy in the video!
Yacine Hammach (last visit VK 23.12.2016)
He was living in Tambov, Russia
According to his VK profile it is possible/probable that the "azeri" guy was in prison for the last 5 years.
ok, now there is a longer version here that shows more what happened after, with a better quality.
Imo, it increases the probability of the shootings to be fakes. t.me/gruz_200_rus/1…
Now you have “blood” on the 2nd guy, but the location, shape & direction of the blood on the ground is incoherent.
More curious, no hole can be seen in his pants…
here you can see a significant amount of “blood” that appeared under the ass of the 2nd guy + a line of blood on the head with no apparent hit.
Lots of blood gets out of his wrist from 3:08 to 3:31, it looks like a blood pocket that has been broken.
In pic 1, you see 5 soldiers in the background, none wearing armband… (or maybe 2 with white ones)
In pic 2, there is a gard without armband too, or also maybe a white one.
It makes no sense that so many soldiers have remove them, except if they wanted to hide their real side.
Tbn, the units’ badges have been removed from the “POWs”.
I think it’s strange as Ukrainian usually show them
The place is now largely known to be in Malaya Rohan (49.9392 36.4773)
According to AFP, this village has been liberated from russian invaders on Monday by the Ukrainian army. The liberation started in the middle of last week. macaubusiness.com/ukraine-forces…
When has this videos been made?
The telegram channel “Russians With Attitude” posted it at 4:17 on Sunday morning.
So the video was certainly made last week. As Thursday & Friday were sunny in Malaya Rohan, it leaves 2 dates for it: Wednesday 23 & Saturday 26
I hadn't noticed at first, but there is also something strange when the 3rd guy is shot: like 2 small white sparks on the ground.
This also could indicate blank round.
Ok folks, that is important.
I am more and more convinced that there is something completely wrong with the video.
Here is a footage of the base published on 28/3 (after Ukraine regained control of it).
It shows significant damages: the pavement & buildings are destroyed.
So, or the retreating russian bombed the base with their own POWs after Ukraine recaptured it, or the base was under russian control when the video was filmed, and the Ukrainian army bombed it to regain control.
Addition: the corps lying on the floor on the last video are not placed at the same spot than the 3 “POWs” in the 1st ones.
You can see in the 1st vid that the blue van was parked in front of the pole in the background, and the bodies lay a few meters away in the new one.
It cannot be excluded that they are in fact the same persons (the boots of one dead seam similar to those the 3rd guy was wearing)
sat pic from 26/3 shows that the base had been shelled (not on 24/3).
If the first vid was filmed in the morning of 26/3 (as bbc said), that would indicate that shelling had indeed occured that day.
So, it is impossible Ukraine bombed the place after the video was published
There is only 2 options:
- if Ukrainians were in the 1st vid that means Russia bombed his own captive soldiers while retreating
- if russians were in the 1st vid, that means Ukrainians shelled this place to gain control of it

A few thoughts about the #Kursk offensive.
I took interest into the border between Ulanove #Ukraine (95km N of Soumy) and Kolotilovka #Russia (45 km SE of Soumy).
The official border here is 300 km. 1/
If Ukraine can secure a frontline behind the Amon'ka, Seym, Psel and Ilek rivers, it could reduce the frontline lenght by 40% (around 180 km).
Ukrainians must take control of Rylsk, Korenovo, Soudja, Belitsa, Belaya, Ilek and Kolotilovka. Part of it is already achieved.
2/
Most important, the frontline East of Soumy (from Ulanok to Kolotilovka) could be 80% behind rivers and offers a buffer zone of 10 to 25km. In the Northern part of the new front, 40% of the line would be behind rivers and creates another buffer zone of +-25km. 3/
I was sanctionned by twitter AGAIN!
2 weeks ago, I made a thread about a video shared by russian propagandists & I came to the conclusion that the video was most probably staged, the alleged POWs being in fact russian deserters tortured by their own army
To summarize the most important points:
- only 1 “POW” out of 3 is bleeding despite being shot at point blank
- the “POWs” shot in the leg are doing very controlled stunts to fall on the ground
- the frames of the video at the 2 visible shots seem to show the use of blank rounds
- almost no guards had armbands. The ones seen are very large,unlike those used by UKR
- there are no Ukrainian flags or chevrons visible, when most UKR soldiers wear some
- all unit’s identifications have been removed from the "POWs",when UKR usually show them when filming POWs
As these soldiers were not evacuable when the russian unit left the place,they may have been shot & burned right after,because:
- They didn’t have many civilian vechs to leave the plant
- The commanders didn’t want them to be saved & witness that they tortured their own soldiers
I believe most of the “POWs” were in fact deserters from the russian army being punished.
As the russian commander knew he couldn’t hold the village, he arranged this scene, by ordering its soldiers to remove their armband &put blue ones on a few of them, then film the exactions
5 days after the publication of the video, Ukrainians officials have not yet stated on this case
Imho the russian unit seen in the video managed to escape, so Ukr is not able to have & publish their testimony
The wounded deserters are now certainly in military custody in Russia
1/ In France, anyone is free to think what he wants.
I don't expose the individuals in this thread for their ideas, but for their direct or indirect links with the owner of the BMW that #Maxime Nicolle, alias #FlyRider, a leader of the #GiletsJaunes, drove in NICE on 02/09/19
2/ I usually do IMINT (sat pics) to expose the Russian military presence in Donbas (Ukraine), like in this article published by the Ukrainian Military Portal in June 2017.
This means that anyone can do the same, and check my results by himself.
2.1/ From the beginning, the #GiletsJaunes have been infested by putinists and other far-right activists.
Several have even fought in Donbas. Some are exposed in the thread below.
