Russian MoD Releases Video as Captive Ukrainians Allege Drone Killed Bound Soldier

The newly published material consists of a ministry video alongside RIA interviews with captured Ukrainians, with no independent corroboration.

Overview

Russia's Defense Ministry published a video linked to a claim that a Ukrainian UAV killed a Ukrainian soldier during a surrender.
Prisoner Vladimir Litkin, captured by Russia's 'Center' grouping near Krasnoarmiysk, alleged his bound comrade was struck after they were taken prisoner.
Litkin described being led from Petropavlivka, encountering Russian scouts, surrendering with hands visible, then seeing a drone attack kill his partner.
In a separate RIA interview, prisoner Yuri Konovalov said he deserted, stayed mostly indoors for about two years in Kryvyi Rih, and was later detained by a Territorial Recruitment Center.
RIA framed the interviews within reports of personnel shortages and coercive mobilization in Ukraine, citing prior rights-abuse allegations from ombudsman Dmitry Lubinets.
