Invaders of the Russian Federation have a direct order to shoot civilians in Ukraine

The captive Russian invader told the Security Service of Ukraine about this, Espresso.TV reports.

One of the prisoners, who was shot by his people, says that on the very first day of the war (February 24. - Ed.) the column of the captured invader received an order to surround Kharkiv. And then the lieutenant colonel of the Russian army decided not to let civilians through and instructed them to shoot people.

Later, the Ukrainian military drove up there, and a battle ensued between them and the invaders. At the same time, two Russian soldiers moved to help civilians.

"We were hiding civilians behind the blocks - mother and daughter. The lieutenant ran up and began to pull them out of the car. We put them behind the blocks with us. About twenty minutes passed, and the girls were crying. Then the lieutenant colonel noticed that we were saving civilians, and he gave the order. They shot me and the lieutenant, and them. Firstly it flew into the lieutenant's helmet, did not break through, after which they shot him in the carotid artery. Then they shot the mother already", the prisoner said.

Consequently, the officer and the woman were killed, and he was wounded in the legs.

The man notes that he survived only thanks to the daughter of the murdered Ukrainian woman, who took him out of there and called an ambulance.
