The Times has published what appears to be evidence showing Ukrainian soldiers shooting and killing captured Russian soldiers just miles outside Bucha, the town near Kyiv where Ukrainian President Zelensky has accused the Kremlin of war crimes.

A video clip shared on pro-Russian Telegram channels shows what appears to be Ukrainian soldiers killing Russian soldiers in cold blood, according to the newspaper.

The newspaper pointed out that the video was verified and the geolocation was located in Dmytrivka, a town 7 miles southwest of Buca.

In the video, Ukrainian soldiers are seen inspecting the effects of an apparent ambush for the retreating Russian forces.

At least 3 Russian soldiers lie in pools of blood on the tarmac, apparently dead.

It is clear - according to the newspaper's description of what appeared in the video - that one of them suffers from a head injury with his hands tied behind his back.

All men wear white armbands of the Russian troops.

The newspaper also pointed out that a fourth Russian was lying prone, but was trembling, indicating that he was still breathing.

"He's still alive," says a voice. "Photos of these killers. Look, he's panting."

In the corner of the screen appears a gun that shoots two bullets at the man.

The man continues to shiver.

The gunman moves, shoots the Russian soldier in the head, shoots again, and the man stops moving.

The newspaper says that the Ukrainian soldiers - who can be identified by their blue badges on their arms - were repeatedly shouting "Glory to Ukraine" and cursing the dead.

The newspaper stated that the video had been verified by the American newspaper The New York Times, which said that the car that appears in the background of the video was a BMD-2 armored combat vehicle used by Russian units.

The car is painted with the letter V, a Russian symbol.

The killings are believed to have occurred around March 30, when Russian forces withdrew from towns around Kiev after the offensive on the Ukrainian capital had stopped.

The newspaper pointed out that on that day, the Ukrainian news agency Union published a video clip from the scene, in which it said that a famous group of Georgian volunteers was responsible for the attack.

"The Georgian Legion continues to assist the Ukrainians in the defense of the Kyiv region," the caption read.

The newspaper pointed out that the Georgian Legion is a unit of volunteers who came to fight in Ukraine after the annexation of Crimea in 2014. One of the soldiers in the video of the Yunyan agency closely resembles a former bodyguard of former Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili.

The New York Times said the face-matching software indicated it was the same man.

For his part, Mamuka Mamolashvili, commander of the Georgian Legion, denied to Sky News the appearance of any of his forces in the video.
