A smartphone belonging to a Russian soldier killed by the 3rd Independent Assault Brigade of the Ukrainian Army was found to contain video footage of the Russian soldier’s colleagues issuing criminal orders to Russian soldiers near the front lines.

In the video, a soldier called “Rudik” said, “Shoot the cars. As for the locals, I don’t know. I would rather kill the locals. Round up the locals, tie them up, and torture them.”
The video shows him instructing his colleagues over the radio.
