In a horrifying incident that unfolded in the beach village of Chornomorske in occupied Crimea, a group of purportedly inebriated Russian troops went on a violent rampage inside a café.
This brutal attack, captured on CCTV, showed soldiers storming the establishment, opening fire, and assaulting patrons with batons, leaving many injured.
The incident occurred following the celebration of Russia’s Defender of the Fatherland Day, also known as Men’s Day.
The Violent Assault:
The disturbing video, shared by the girlfriend of a hospitalized victim, revealed the troops beating men and women to the floor, resulting in numerous injuries, including broken bones.
Thankfully, there were no reported fatalities.
The soldiers, armed with Kalashnikov rifles, reportedly harassed women, initiated altercations with men, and called for armed reinforcements after tensions escalated.
Background of the Soldiers: T
he allegedly intoxicated soldiers were identified as members of the Bears unit, formerly known as the 81st brigade.
This unit is associated with a pro-Putin private military company and is reportedly backed by the occupiers in Crimea.
The attackers, initially observed drinking at the bar, engaged in an argument with civilians before resorting to violence.
The situation spiraled out of control as they called in reinforcements from Putin’s private military.
Eyewitness Account:
The girlfriend of one of the victims, who witnessed the horrifying attack, described the chaos that ensued.

The eyewitness expressed frustration at the lack of accountability, revealing that attempts to uncover the soldiers’ identities were met with resistance, with military-related individuals hinting at a cover-up.
Call for Public Awareness:

The victims plan to file a formal complaint with the military prosecutor’s office, seeking justice for the unprovoked attack.
Previous Incidents and Troubling Patterns:
