In a tragic story titled "Russian Soldiers Shot Three Brothers and Threw Them in a Ditch. One Survived" , the Wall Street Journal describes how the Russian troops try to intimidate the Ukrainian civilians.
The story written by Isabel Coles starts with these paragraphs:
"A group of Russian soldiers forced the three Kulichenko brothers to their knees on the edge of a freshly dug pit by a wheat field in northern Ukraine. Their legs and wrists were bound and they had been blindfolded with medical dressings, held fast with tape.
The first bullet killed the youngest brother, Yevgen. The second hit Dymytro, the eldest. The round aimed for Mykola struck him close to his right ear and came out above the right side of his mouth.
Soldiers pushed Mykola into the grave on top of Yevgen. He felt Dymytro’s weight land on him, then more pressure. Someone was shoveling earth over them.
“I realized I was alive,” said 33-year-old Mykola. The bullet had skimmed along the upper jaw on the inside of his cheek without causing any major damage."
Here my opinion comments posted in the blog section of the WSJ Online:
"This is the war, the place where the criminals become really devils."
"This that we are seeing is not new in Russian history."
"Some Russians enjoy Putin's evil."
