Amid overwhelming evidence<\/u> that Russian forces have committed war crimes<\/a> during an unprovoked war of aggression in Ukraine, Ukrainian officials were confronted this week with video that appeared to show Ukrainian soldiers shooting captive Russian soldiers in the legs.<\/p>\n

Although Ukraine’s senior military leader and its domestic intelligence agency both insisted that the video posted on social networks on Sunday was “a fake” produced by Russia, an adviser to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy promised that the government would investigate and punish those responsible if the incident did take place.<\/p>\n

On Monday, a well-known Ukrainian journalist, Yuri Butusov, published graphic video<\/a> showing the charred remains of three men he identified as Russian soldiers killed as Ukrainian forces recaptured the town of Malaya Rohan, outside Kharkiv, over the weekend.<\/p>\n

Although Butusov made no mention of the video of the alleged war crime, a visual analysis of his footage shows that it was clearly filmed in the same location as the video of the prisoners being shot<\/a>, some time after that incident.<\/p>\n

WARNING: GRAPHIC IMAGES. Multiple visual clues reveal that video posted online Sunday, which appeared to show the abuse of captive Russian soldiers, was recorded at the same location as a second clip posted online Monday, said to show the burned bodies of three Russian soldiers.<\/p>\n

Reporting by open-source investigators<\/a> and BBC News<\/a> had already established that the video of the alleged war crime was recorded at a dairy processing plant in Malaya Rohan<\/a>, which is about 3 miles east of Kharkiv.<\/p>\n

I am inclined to think that this video was shot from about 49.939219, 36.477301
If so, it took place in Malaya Rohan, Kharkiv, which was reportedly recently liberated.
I think the shelter to the south was erected more recently than imagery I have seen.
