Drone footage apparently shows Russian soldier killing a man with his hands up
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.

#Putin spricht von einer Spezialaktion in der #Ukraine, die sich nicht gegen Zivilisten richte. Eine Drohne filmte allerdings wenige Kilometer westlich von Kiew, wie ein Zivilist von offenbar russischen Soldaten erschossen wird. #ZDFfrontal exklusiv, mehr zum Krieg 21.15 Uhr @ZDF pic.twitter.com/1FDdD7v9Ww
