a photo purported to be of a Russian soldier who was chained to a post by his leg by his superiors so he wouldn't run away, and he froze to death, covered with snow--still holding his grenade launcher. Now, it could be a Ukrainian staged photo, and the guy was shot to death or the chain placed later for propaganda-- but I don't know. Disturbing, though. Definitely not a stretch to think they would be targeting civilians, because they don't seem show their own troops any mercy.
