Russians are eagerly sharing ‘execution’ of ‘African fighters’ by Ukrainian soldiers in fake video with Z-movie realism

Kremlin propagandists have produced another cringe-worthy fake video, this time depicting the alleged execution of "African fighters" by Ukrainian defense forces, which Russians are eagerly sharing on their "Z channels," according to Ukrainian journalist Yuriy Butusov.

In this cinematic “masterpiece,” several Black "mercenaries" of the alleged "Ukrainian Armed Forces" are portrayed as deserters, prompting other "Ukrainian soldiers" to put them "up against the wall."

“Why didn’t you, African asses, stay in your shithole? We don’t talk much to deserters. Finish them off,” one of the supposed Ukrainians commanded in broken Ukrainian surzhyk (a Ukrainian–Russian pidgin), after which the bound actors were "executed" with all the realism of a B-movie.
