Of course, video is Russian provocation & likely faked
Azov say they had nothing to do w/ it.

If memory serves... The "crucified someone" ruse/agitprop often comes before something very bad, like Blitzkrieg or Srebrenica.
Doesn't bode well. Russian agents make up vile story that "Azov" Regt crucified POW. Serb militias used such lies/agitprop in Balkans Wars.
There's a connection. Lentsov knows of this tactic: he was in Bosnia in 1996 with IFOR (Colonel of VDV Russian Brigade
Unfortunately, they were very effective: many civilians were butchered by Serb militias avenging a non-existent "crucifiction
If the "crucifixion fiction" goes mainstream in Russian media (as no doubt the FSB intend) this situation could go "Balkan" very rapidly.
How to spot the fakery:
"Hanging" is done Hollywood style
"Execution" with blanks
"Crucification" by really soft "hammering
As you can see they always fake videos about most recent bogeyman of Russia's propaganda:
First Right Sektor then Donbas Btn. now Azov Rgt

@GrahamWP_UK How can you tell its Ukrainian? If we start at that point.
Litmus test is whether this FSB "crucifixion fiction" goes mainstream in Russian (Kremlin) media to stir up support for war.
