According to Vchk-Ogpu, Feshchenko was allegedly killed during a conflict with a friend with whom he had previously served in the Far East. The suspect, reportedly detained, has pleaded guilty to the murder.

The Kyiv Independent could not verify the claims.

My theory is thick cloud cover

In a combat zone you are considered combat effective until proven otherwise. This is not a warcrime. Faking an injured leg or being dead are commonly done to avoid getting droned. Not seeing a weapon isn't an excuse either. Grenade on the belt, or sidearm in the coat are both likely possibilities. You don't know and until you do it is safer to take them out then apply warm and fuzzy civilian sensibilities to the problem.

This is without a doubt a war crime

There are many doubts. He could be faking injury, drunk, still armed. The observer drone who suspected incapacitation was not the one attacking so you'd have to prove the actual attacking drone operator believed the target was incapacitated. Injured =/ incapacitated and his presence alone at the front occupies enemy territory which means they are a participant.

The bounds on what are 'reasonable' are very different in war than civilian life. This tendency to jump to 'ope warcrime' is as irrational as saying someone with an automatic weapon firing a burst commits a warcrime when the second round in a row strikes the victim. 'They were injured with the first bullet so it is a warcrime and automatic weapons must be prohibited by law'!

Had this soldier been on a stretcher, and/or being attended by an unarmed someone with a red cross on their arm, or had waved a white anything in the air, I'd agree with calling it a warcrime. A still conscious soldier being tossed out on their ass by 2 armed soldiers and 'appearing injured' in this era where the enemy feigns injury/death to avoid drone strikes is not hors de combat.

The og version isn't much better.

Ukraine’s Moscow-malleting doodlebug missile is about to become very important

That said 'completes development' instead of 'develops' would have been an, unlikely in this inexplicable era of minimum syllable headlines, improvement.

Okay @wilshire, of the myriad videos I've seen in my time as mod here you finally found one that made me say 'W.T.F.' out loud. 😂

Banned for depiction of a human centipede! 😋

Okay, thanks.

Why does a mastodon user get completely different profiles and history when viewed from different lemmy instances? They look like 2 completely different users when compared except for having the same @address. In fact this makes them immune from moderation if they comment from a different instance than the mod is on.

You cheeky mf. GD it. Merry xmas

It's not technically the same. If Putin withdraws but still disputes ownership of the previously occupied (or any part of Ukraine) then it can cause issues with NATO membership. It is not enough that Russia retreats. They have to officially give up their BS claims too.

This violence is par for the community, and a stained pant leg is not gore. If this material bothers you I suggest getting your Ukraine news elsewhere, or send a letter to Putin demanding he withdraw all forces to the 2014 borders or he won't get your vote.
