Taxi driver and father of four, Ivan Skyba, was one of a group of Ukrainian men defending their suburban street near Kyiv at the start of the war.
He narrowly avoided death after being captured with his comrades by Russian soldiers as they advanced on Ukraine’s capital.
Along with eight of his fellow captives he was led to a courtyard where Russian soldiers opened fire in a cold-blooded execution. The other eight men were shot dead in an atrocity that prosecutors are treating as a war crime.
Somehow though, Ivan Skyba survived by playing dead.

You would no believe this kind of thing is happening in Europe 2022. Have we humans not learned anything from past wars. Stop the murderous genocide. I felt sorry for the Russian soldiers thinking, they don’t want to be there but then I see things like this. There are rules in war that are supported by The Geneva Convention. Executing prisoners of war is a war crime and those responsible must be held accountable.
Executing prisoners isn't going to do Russian POW's many favours is it?
Never forget. Never forgive.
Keep reporting this and not hiding the cruelty! We all need to be aware of what is going on around the world! So next time when we make choices to put someone in power, we put someone there that is going to fight against this cruelty!
As a parent i feel for the single mums and kids that have to go through life without their husbands and fathers, truly sad and unforgivable to let this happen in this day and age for nothing but ego and power
May God curse those rude Russian Forces…
האיש עם הנשק יש לו מדים שלאוקרינה מה זה החרא הזה

Propaganda.
Fake news.
Animal Slaughter
Rest in peace to all of those that have fallen innocent

Russia is a country of terrorism ❗

Flying monkeys for the grand narcissist himself.
That happened to me in Iran, by the Islamic revolutionary guards, they dragged me from my cell at night, I was blindfolded , and set me on my knees, and one of them said “I am going to kill you right now like a dog right now right here”, and then he shot right beside of left ear( Baaam) , then they started to laugh loudly!!!…. I absolutely feel this man!
bbc, your estrategie of stirring sentiments and emotions dont kill facts.
I hope Russia pays dearly for the atrocities they committed.
What an amazing time to be alive! Yay Japans prime minister was assassinated, Russia is invading Ukraine, there are Australian fires and floods and there is a deadly virus with many different variants (that was sarcasm to anyone who doesn’t understand
This is so wrong on many levels,may God help us all why the rest of the world just sits back & watches this carnage & can do nothing innocents being slaughtered & killed for what
oh, it must be true, it's on the BBC news.
Next time put blood on the bodies.
This is an act of evil against unarmed civilians, this is why the world is turning on Russia and arming Ukraine, I hope they find these evil Russian soldiers and bring them to justice. God bless those men and their families.
This is a brutal crime.. Almost like what happened in large scale in Iraq and Afghanistan under western invasion… Killing local men joining resistance in point blank😓
Survived???? But how?? May he live in peace but don't believe BBC news channel.
The Armenian genocide of 1915 committed by Turkey estimates up to one and half million Armenian deaths, but NATO, America, Europe and the so called Democratic countries have not mentioned a word about it, and not expressed it.
Ukraine is alley of Turkey, America, NATO and the West, Ukraine has even sold weapons to Azerbaijan, and stands with Azerbaijan for the war against Armenia.
Ukraine has also joined America in Iraq and even Afghanistan for the unjustified wars against them.
All these wars always start from Europe and America that so-called Western civilized civilization I never see much Wars starting from the Middle East and yet the same Americans and Europeans are bombing the Middle East wanting to bring peace and democracy to Middle East and bombing the Middle Eastern people for it.
Hello, May I share an Old Testament Verse with you from Daniel 7:14 "And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a Kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should SERVE Him; his dominion is an Everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom shall not pass away, and His Kingdom that which shall not be destroyed." Also, can I share Isaiah 53:5 " But HE was WOUNDED For our TRANSGRESSIONS, he was BRUISED for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon Him, and with His STRIPES we are HEALED."
God the Father loves you so much that He sent Holy Sinless Jesus (His Holy Son) to earth to be born of a virgin.Then, to grow up and die on a cross for our sins. He was in the tomb for 3 days, then Father God raised Holy and Sinless Jesus Christ (Y'shua) to Life! He appeared to people and went back to Heaven. We must receive Sinless Jesus sincerely to be God's child(John 1:12).After we get saved by grace through faith in Christ, if we truly love the Lord Jesus Christ, then we will obey Jesus(John 14:15). Mark 1:15 "And saying, the time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: Repent ye, and believe the gospel." Jesus said in John 14:15 "If you love Me, keep My commandments. "There's a real hell. It says in Revelation 21:8 "But for the cowardly, & unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, & immoral persons sorcerers & idolaters & all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire & brimstone…" Please sincerely receive Holy Jesus and put your true faith & trust in Him today and please repent. Will you have a Real encounter with Holy Lord Jesus (Y'shua is His Hebrew Name) and stay in a Genuine relationship with Him daily please?
This is sad
