Ukraine took just 20 minutes to wreak revenge on Russia with a drone attack after their prisoners of war were shot dead.
The attack came after Russia was again accused of breaking the rules of war as Vladimir Putin‘s soldiers shot dead surrendering Ukrainian troops.
Graphic drone footage caught the moment the two prisoners of war were gunned down on the frontline.
Ukrainian sources said they rapidly avenged the atrocity after commanders saw the cold-blooded killing on video.
‘The Russians did not live long,’ said Ukrainian channel Deep State.
‘They were killed by an FPV drone within 20 minutes, so the revenge was swift.’
The incident in Zaporizhzhia took place after Russian troops penetrated several miles behind Ukrainian lines.
They ambushed the pair ‘from behind’.

Kyiv human rights ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets alleged: ‘The enemy killed two Ukrainian servicemen on the outskirts of Zatyshshia.
‘This is another deliberate action by Russia aimed at intimidation and a blatant disregard for international humanitarian law.’
He has appealed to the United Nations and the International Committee of the Red Cross over the shooting of the POWs, describing it as a grave violation of international humanitarian law and the Geneva Conventions.
‘The international community must immediately respond to such systematic gross violations by Russia,’ he said.
Meanwhile, Russia claimed to have foiled a Ukrainian plot to kill one of Putin’s highest-ranking officials by using booby-trapped flowers at his parents’ grave.
While the target was not named, there is speculation that it was former defence minister Sergei Shoigu, 70, now Russia’s top security official.
The country’s Federal Security Service (FSB) also added that a husband and wife assassin has been arrested in connection with the attempt.
Shoigu was in charge of the Russian army when it originally invaded Ukraine and committed horrific rape, torture and illegal execution ‘war crimes’ aside from repeated bombing of civilians.
The FSB claimed the elaborate scheme was to assassinate the official as he visited his parents’ graves in Moscow on the anniversaries of their deaths.

On Saturday, Putin launched a barbaric strike on Kyiv which killed the widow of the first man to die in the 1986 Chernobyl disaster.
The sickening overnight attack by Russian forces tore through an apartment block long known as a home for Chernobyl survivors, leaving 62-year-old Natalia Khodemchuk fatally wounded.
She had been pulled from the rubble with burns covering almost half her body after last night’s strike and rushed to hospital, but medics confirmed she could not be saved.
Her husband, Soviet engineer Valery Khodemchuk, was the very first victim of the 1986 catastrophe and ‘vaporised’ when Reactor 4 blew apart.
Aged just 35, his remains were never recovered. He had placed his final phone call at 1.23am moments before the double explosion ripped through the pump halls of Unit four.
His wife survived the nuclear explosion and almost 40 years later she was brutally killed by the Kremlin.
