Original Note:
The video is being presented falsely as a war crime. The invading Russian soldier has not surrendered, has not expressed a wish to do so, and is not wounded—therefore is not hors de combat. The enemy combatant is a legitimate target and not protected under customary IHL. https://casebook.icrc.org/a_to_z/glossary/hors-de-combat https://ihl-databases.icrc.org/en/customary-ihl/v1/rule47
