The unsettling video portrays a mock execution of a Russian soldier.
On Monday, Russia’s Investigative Committee opened a criminal investigation into a Ukrainian social media ad calling for violence against Russian soldiers. The promo, made in a peculiar style reminiscent of ISIS propaganda films, depicts a faux execution of a Russian soldier.
It is worth noting that in early March, 450 extremist Arab and foreign nationalsarrived in Ukraine from Idlib to fight against Russian forces.

The disturbing video went viral on social media over the weekend, causing fury in Russia. The video depicts a lady, presumably representing Ukraine, making a harsh speech against Russians, with a ‘prisoner’ dressed in Russian military uniform kneeling at her side. The actress blames Russian “pigs” for ridiculing, oppressing, and killing Ukrainians for a long time, but claims that things have changed.
“Something terrible woke up the peace-loving and grain-growing nation. Something that has been dormant for centuries in the bowels of the Dnieper banks. Primordial and antique Ukrainian god. And now we’re reaping a bloody harvest. Death awaits you all,” she says, while she is depicted as slitting the throat of the Russian prisoner with a sickle.
Calls for violence
The actress featured in the video, Andrianna Kurilets, a small-time actress, has deleted her social media accounts following the ad’s publication.
An official criminal investigation is underway by Russia’s investigative Committee for “calls for violence against officers of the Russian Armed Forces,” adding that in the ad, the actress “Voices extremist statements and cuts a man’s throat with a sickle while smiling. This video has been circulated on social networks and contains explicit hate speech, as well as threats.”
Last month, Russia began investigating a violent video purportedly showing the abuse of prisoners of war at the hands of the Ukrainian military.
According to the Committee, the location of the videos is speculated to be in the eastern region of Kharkov, which is a hub for Ukrainian nationalists.
Previously, the Russian Defense Ministry Spokesperson Major General Igor Konashenkov revealed that Ukrainian nationalist battalions are copying the tactics of international terrorists in Syria.
“Nationalist battalions are using so-called ‘Bandera cars’ which are cross-country vehicles with large-caliber firearms or mortars mounted on them. Let me remind that this tactic is practiced by international terrorists in Syria,” Konashenkov told reporters.
