More shocking scenes occurred in Russia. A man dismounted his bicycle, and when the light turned green, he walked with his children across the crossing.
At that moment, a military truck sped through the far-left lane, and the driver did not even slow down.
The man died instantly. Behind him, his daughter and son were riding scooters. The deceased was restaurateur Sergei Tipailov. Later, the truck collided with a UAZ and fled the scene again.
The truck driver was already detained – it turned out to be a 39-year-old man. A criminal case has been initiated following this scandalous incident.
Shocking scenes in Russia
Scandals and controversies around Russia are not abating. These events significantly impact the international situation and show the problems this country faces.
Recently, we reported that a Wagner Group soldier responsible for killing two of his colleagues who refused to participate in a mutiny against Russia was sentenced to 16 years in prison. This is one of many dramatic events related to the Wagnerites' invasion of Russia in June 2023, which caused an international stir.
In June, it was widely reported that a video of an extremely brutal incident on a Russian street in Krasnodar surfaced online. A group of men beat a woman and then threw her into a car.
The victim struggled against her attackers and, at some point, managed to escape the vehicle. The woman did not enjoy her freedom for long. The attackers quickly caught her, beat her a second time, and forced her to return to the car. Eventually, the victim sat in the back seat with a battered face.
