  • A video shows Ukrainian troops shooting captured Russians.

  • Language and injury experts spoke to the BBC about the video.

  • The experts say some parts of the video were plausible, despite the fact that the BBC was not able to verify it.

A video that appears to show Ukrainian troops shooting captured Russians has not been verified, but could be.

The five-minute video purported to show Ukrainians shooting Russian prisoners of war in the kneecaps and beating them. At one point in the video, the prisoners can be seen lying bloodied on the ground.

The video was fact-checked by the BBC, which said it was first posted on social media on March 27. It spread on pro-Russia accounts.

The commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian armed forces said on Sunday that the video was staged by Russia.

'Cannot be categorized as "fake"'

The troops in the video were wearing the blue armbands that the Ukrainian troops are wearing, but this does not mean that they are actually Ukrainian troops, and they were wearing no other identifying parts of a uniform.

The people questioning the apparent prisoners of war have accents that are similar to what you would expect from Ukrainians speaking Russian, according to one language expert.

Trauma surgeons and former military doctors spoke to the British Broadcasting Corporation about the shooting in the video, though they wished to be unnamed in the report.

The fact that the men who were shot did not scream or bleed a lot was not a sign that the video was suspicious, according to one of them.

He said that some of the soldiers that he treated for gunshot wounds didn't scream, and that some of them didn't bleed much because they had a tourniquet on.

It is my opinion that the footage cannot be categorized as fake solely based on the images seen. He said that this requires an investigation for war crimes.

The doctor told the BBC that they appear to be genuine.

The video was taken at a farm in Malaya Rohan, which is southeast of the city of Kharkiv, after analyzing satellite data. The location was reported by the Washington Post.

The weather conditions in the video were consistent with what was seen on March 26.

The Ukrainian troops were in the area at that time.

Oleksiy Arestovich, an advisor to Ukraine's government, told The Times of London that there would be an immediate investigation.

The Kremlin spokesman called for an investigation after seeing the video.
