The Security Service of Ukraine launched an investigation today after a video was posted on social media showing a Ukrainian soldier being beheaded on the war front by the Russians.

The video was uploaded with a filter by the adviser to the Ukrainian president, Mykhailo Podoliak.

According to NEXTA, which for ethical reasons released only one frame. As he reports, in the video, before the gruesome murder, a man can be heard saying “put (the head) in a bag and send it to his commander”.

Shortly after, a second video was released, probably from the same spot, showing murdered and decapitated Ukrainian soldiers. The man taking the video can be heard saying that after the execution, the Russians removed the shoes and clothes from the bodies of the dead Ukrainians.
