Here is a literal translation of the commentary by Russian war correspondent Yevgeny Poddubny:
“It’s hard not to give in to emotions when our enemy is killing our people. Civilians. People who packed a go-bag—all that remained of their former lives—and headed towards Russian positions. Towards their own.
This video was filmed near Krasnoarmeysk [the Russian name of the city of Pokrovsk in the Donetsk People’s Republic, where heavy fighting is currently going on]. Russian intelligence units were leading a group of civilians, ordinary people—two women and four men. They were guided by a Russian drone. People, a couple of dogs, and a cat that ran away the moment the Ukrainian militants killed its owner. They attacked with a drone. A woman who was far braver than the swine who aimed the drone at her. The footage clearly shows that all the people walking have white flags—they are civilians. But the savage enemy continued to strike. Of this group, which Russian soldiers from the 51st Army tried to save, only four survived. They are now safe. But on this road of life and, death, the operator of a Ukrainian drone killed another person. A man walking at the front of the group.
Look at this footage. If you can. This video, where monsters killed people, serves as another grim reminder of who we are fighting and how crucial it is to swiftly liberate Russian cities from the neo-Nazi filth.”
P.S. Note how Poddubny refers to the civilians of Pokrovsk as “our people”—a term he uses instinctively, without a second thought.
