PURE BARBARISM
Horrific moment Russian armoured vehicles ‘fire on cyclist’ in town of Bucha where bodies have been found on the streets
HORROR drone footage appears to show the moment a Russian armoured vehicle fires at a cyclist in Bucha.
Harrowing images from the town after Vladimir Putin’s forces withdrew show bodies of civilians strewn on the road and in shallow graves - many with bound hands and signs of torture.

The body of a person was filmed lying on the ground beside a bike recent days, at the spot where the cyclist was last seen in the video.
Speaking at the UN, Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelensky claimed Russian troops have ripped out victims’ tongues, crushed people under tanks “for pleasure” during the war.
He also said they raped and butchered mothers in front of their children.
In the new video, the cyclist can be seen coming down the road, unaware of a Russian armoured column, with their distinctive Z markings, hidden by houses to their left.

As the cyclist gets off their bike at a junction, they push it around the corner but come into the sight of a BMD-2 infantry fighting vehicle standing down the road.
At that point smoke can be seen coming from the barrel of its cannon as it blasts down the street.
The fate of the cyclist cannot immediately be seen as they are hidden behind a fence but they are not seen moving any further down the street.
Smoke can also been seen rising from the spot on what has been as Yablonska Street.
