🥲A heartbreaking story in the style of "Russians don't give up".

The Russians carry their wounded man out into the street and order him to carry out a combat mission.

🤯Vanka with a broken leg, tied to a stick with an Esmarch tourniquet, crawled for a good three meters until the pilot of the "Predator" got tired of watching this melodrama.

💥 From the wounded to the 200th. And there are enough such stories in Toretsk for a series.

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.
