social media advertisement, which called for violence against Russian soldiers. The advertisement, shot in a distinctive style resembling propaganda videos by Islamic State terrorists, features the mock execution of a Russian soldier.
The
controversial post emerged on social media over the weekend, sparking
outrage in Russia. It features a woman, apparently portraying Ukraine,
delivering a hateful speech against Russians with a ‘prisoner’ in
clothes resembling the Russian military uniform kneeling by her side.
The actress accuses Russian “pigs” of mocking, oppressing and killing Ukrainians for a long time and states that the situation has now changed.
“Something
terrible woke up the peace-loving and grain-growing nation. Something
that has been dormant for centuries in the bowels of the Dneper banks.
Primordial and antique Ukrainian god. And now we’re reaping a bloody
harvest. Death awaits you all,” the actress states, ‘slitting’ the throat of the ‘prisoner’ with a sickle.
The woman also vowed revenge for the northwestern Kiev suburb of
Bucha, as well as for other Ukrainian towns and cities that allegedly
suffered at the hands of Russian troops. Ukraine accused the Russian
military of massacring civilians in Bucha early in April after troops
withdrew from the area. Moscow denied any involvement in the deaths,
insisting the whole Bucha affair was a staged “provocation” by Kiev to frame the country’s military." RT
