CNN obtained video of the war crimes investigation by the Ukrainian prosecutor's office.
Innocent civilians were shot and killed by unknown assailants . CNN has identified the victims. One of them owns a car dealership and his family was robbed because he doesn't want to give his name. Another grandson, Leonid Alekseevich Playat, was a 68-year-old security guard.
She was impatient to see the video of the death of her son Julia, but one day she remembered her children.
"They are victims," he told CNN. "It's scary because my father was a civilian, 68 years old, a peaceful man."
Murder from different angles
CCTV footage shows Russia's first attempt to capture Keene in March. Fierce fighting broke out on the way of the Ukrainian army to the capital, which prevented the Ukrainian troops from advancing towards the Russian oil tanks.
But on March 16, there was no military or civilian fighting outside the showroom.
Video confirmed by CNN. There are several cameras near the hotel, it's quiet but the images are clear. The murder of two unarmed men was horrific and cold.
Five Russian soldiers arrive, try to get into the case, shoot at the castle, break the windows.
When the owner raises his hands, they stop looking for weapons. Then comes the playoffs, they sweep it up. Before the troops left, there appeared to be a discussion between the two civilians before they returned to their checkpoint.
Then at least two soldiers approached with the men and opened fire. Two civilians were killed.
CNN reached out to the Russian Defense Ministry for comment, but received no response.
Ukraine 's chief prosecutor is investigating the incident, according to a video obtained by CNN.
In addition to the killings, the video shows a group of five soldiers engaging in unprofessional behavior, members of the invading uniform analyzing the areas under their control at the time, and eyewitness accounts.
Men walk around the store, taking off their bulletproof vests and looking into drawers and tables. Someone took a hat out of a drawer and put it on. The two men seemed to be at odds.
Grandpa tried to run away
Playat was alive when the soldiers were looking for a case. In the video, he lifts his legs up, and you can see that he has returned to a defensive position, with his hips bound.
There he calls for help.
The call came to the Ukrainians, who stayed behind to defend their neighbors.
Volunteer forces attempted to rescue him by firing on Plitchi, but the group commander refused to give a name for security reasons.
Surveillance footage shows Ukrainians falling into the guardhouse on their way there. They left bleeding. He died there outside the guard. The commander said that the civilian fighters had to retreat first, so they did not have the strength to fire on the Russian tanks and guns.
The owner of the Citizen's Pleasure Company approaches the Russians, but warns them that they have decided to stay. Plia's daughter thought he was doing his duty, so he went to work. No one seems to care what happens to them when they approach the soldiers.
One of the volunteers said the incident angered the Russian soldiers, who were killed indiscriminately.
War is definitely a crime. "If there is a chance of arresting them, I think they deserve the death penalty."
During the war, the daughter of Pythagoras was burned at the stake, as they could not properly bury her. Ash is still waiting in the graveyard; He hopes that one day he will be buried in his mother's grave. All he has to do now is remember his "very happy" father and wait for justice.
“They need to be judged,” he said. “I hope that the International Court of Justice, not only of Ukraine, but of the whole world, will learn about their crimes.”
