Trump and Putin plan Ukraine peace talks amid controversy
Ukrainian special forces have released a video showing a Russian soldier begging for mercy. A Ukrainian drone tracked the man. "This is the only way negotiations with the aggressor should look," the video authors commented as they shared it online.
Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin are set to sit at the negotiation table in Riyadh soon. It is said that the meeting could take place within the week. The goal of the American president and the Russian leader is to develop a "peace plan for Ukraine."
The method of negotiating with Putin is causing significant controversy since Donald Trump is reportedly agreeing to all Russian conditions. Meanwhile, Ukrainian soldiers who are still fighting on the front lines in the eastern part of Ukraine have a different perspective on the talks.
Ukrainian special forces from the "Peaky Blinders" group of the 2nd separate CSO unit "Omega" have released a video online showing a Russian soldier, filmed by a military drone. The young man is seen desperately begging for mercy.
In the video, the words of the Russian soldier are not audible, but his pleading gestures are visible. The young soldier clearly tries to communicate something to the Ukrainians and makes "peace" gestures. At one point, he lies down on the ground, appearing as though he has fainted, possibly due to blood loss. It's unclear whether he survived.
"This is the only way negotiations with the aggressor should look," the Ukrainian military stated while releasing the video of the incident.
Numerous videos have surfaced online showing Russian soldiers surrendering in panic to Ukrainian forces. These are being published by the Ukrainian military.
