Hours later, once they confirmed the pair were Ukrainian, they treated the injured troop’s crushed leg, provided him with food and cigarettes, and helped him evacuate.

Implying they would have withheld care if they were Russian

Based on that description, I’m wondering if maybe this guy’s not bullshitting and just gunned down a bunch of Ukrainians instead.

I’m actually afraid he was shooting at civilians that refused to evacuate from Avdeevka, because the majority of such people are old, supporting Russia and unable to leave.

Reading this honestly reminds me of some of the Austrian antics in the battle of Karánsebes (I’d thought the incident was in WW1, but apparently I was wrong looking it up). Basically, with alcohol, the differing languages of the various nationalities of the empire, etc… they wound up slaughtering themselves.

I wonder how Avdiivka will stack up once the fog of war is lifted… it honestly sounds like a similar utter clusterfuck.

I think this is the only real part of that.
