Drone footage reportedly shows two Russian soldiers executing two Ukrainian soldiers they had just captured in a trench-clearing raid.

The unarmed Ukrainians are shown following the commands of the Russian troops as they hunch down in the trench. After one of the Russians gives a quick search of the fighting position, they open fire, killing both prisoners.

The unconfirmed incident reportedly took place in the Zaporizhzhia region and was carried out by troops of the Russian 70th Separate Motorized Rifle Regiment.
