Ukrainian Protestors Shot After Approaching Russian Soldiers
Published 2 years ago
Footage from an unknown date and time, shows Russian troops using escalation of force, after they shot and wounded a Ukrainian protestor who had approached their position.
When it comes to footage like this, it is sometimes difficult to analyze, as the entire context before the Russian soldier shoots is cropped out (or just doesn't exist). Not trying to justify the Russian soldiers actions, but it is all too often we see media outlets releasing segmented footage to portray a narrative for their political views.
Regardless of the context, large amounts of small-arms fire and heavy machine gun fire are heard, echoing throughout this town/cities streets. From an analytical and journalistic standpoint, I apologize for providing limited context to this video in particular. If you happen to stumble upon a longer cut of this footage, showing context prior to the shooting, I'd love to provide further analysis of the escalation of force.
