German public broadcaster ZDF releases drone footage apparently showing the moment a Ukrainian man was shot dead by a Russian soldier, despite raising his hands above his head.
The outlet says the footage was filmed by a Ukrainian surveillance drone on March 7 and captures the E40 expressway, west of Kyiv.
The footage shows apparently civilian cars driving down the road when they spot a Russian tank.
Some of the cars turn around, but one stops and the driver gets out the vehicle and immediately raises his hands.
He is shot, apparently by a Russian soldier. The man falls down. The German broadcaster says he was killed in the incident.
ZDF says that it has confirmed the authenticity of the drone footage.

As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
