The Russian defence ministry has claimed Ukraine used US-provided weapons in a strike on Crimea yesterday that killed at least four people and injured 151 more. Meanwhile, EU accession talks with Ukraine are approaching, in a political blow for Vladimir Putin.
A video appearing to show a wounded Russian soldier being shot dead by another Russian soldier shows the 'brutal culture' of Moscow's armed forces, says a US-based thinktank.Footage shared widely on social media over the weekend shows a Russian soldier injured by a drone strike, motioning to another solider for help.Instead, the other solider kills the wounded solider with a gunshot fired at point blank range.
He does this instead of attempting to check the soldier’s injury, attempting treatment, taking his identification tags, or attempting a casualty evacuation, said the Institute for the Study of War .
