Horrifying moment Russian soldiers shoot Ukrainian civilians in the BACK as they walk away thinking they’d been freed

THIS is the barbaric moment Putin’s butchers slaughtered two Ukrainian civilians in cold blood as they walked away thinking they had been freed.

Chilling CCTV footage from a motorhome dealership outside Kyiv show how the evil soldiers shot the owner and a guard in the back following a short conversation.

The killings – which have been branded “a possible war crime” – took place on March 16 when Russia made an initial attempt to take the city.

The heart-breaking footage shared with shows how the meeting between the invaders and civilians at The Camper Group dealership on the main E40 into Kyiv appears calm.

The Times reported the soldiers were apparently frisking the men for cigarettes.

But moments after going their separate ways, the cowardly Russian soldiers turn around and hide behind a wall.

They then jump out, place their guns on a fence and open fire into the defenceless bodies of the men who hit the ground immediately.

Bullets can even be seen sending dust clouds into the air during the execution-style killings.

The butchers kill the owner – who’s family did not want him identified – immediately.

But astonishingly the guard, Leonid Oleksiyovych Plyats, described by his daughter as a “very cheerful” 68-year-old grandfather, initially survived the shooting.

In the footage he is seen limping to a guard hut to call for help, while bleeding profusely from his wounds.

But despite tying what appears to be a tourniquet around his thigh, he suffered catastrophic blood loss and tragically died – just as Ukrainian heroes arrived to try and save him.

The shocking footage shows the the blood trail left after Ukrainian soldiers dragged him out to safety but he lost his battle outside of the guard hut.

Ukrainian soldiers did not have the firepower to fight back against tanks and soldiers who then entered the compound.

His daughter Yulia – who cannot watch the video herself – pledged to one day show her grandchildren the footage so they never forget what Russia did to Ukraine and Leonid.

She told CNN: “They are executioners.

“It’s awful because my father was a civilian, he was 68, a peaceful unarmed man.”

The dealership was later ransacked by Russian soldiers who could be seen evilly toasting their barbarism.

The animals can be seen rummaging through every crevice in the dealership as they frantically look for valuable items and more booze.
