Ukraine has said footage showing a civilian street trader being pursued by a remotely controlled Russian drone amounts to a war crime.
The video is said to show a visibly frightened civilian being chased by the drone in what has been described as a “human safari” attack. The person shown in the footage is identified in the supplied material only as a Ukrainian street vendor.
The source material does not provide the location or date of the incident, nor does it identify the civilian involved. It also does not include details on whether the person was injured or whether any investigation has been opened.
Ukraine’s position is that the incident shown in the video constitutes a war crime. The allegation centres on the apparent targeting or intimidation of a civilian by a remotely operated drone.
No response from Russia is included in the supplied material. The latest known position, based on the available information, is that Ukraine has characterised the footage as evidence of a war crime, while further details about the circumstances of the incident have not been provided.
