The Russian tank commander Vadim Shishimarin was in a panic when he and four comrades hijacked a car a good 300 kilometers from Kyiv. It was February 28, and the Russians had encountered unexpectedly fierce resistance from Ukrainian forces. Only a few days after the start of the war, many of them were already retreating.
Shishimarin, 21, and four other soldiers from Russia's Kantemirovskaya Armored Division stole the car after their convoy came under fire. Driving away from the front line, they met Oleksandr Shelipov, a 62-year-old Ukrainian riding his bicycle. Shishimarin claims his superior officer ordered him to shoot the defenseless civilian. The tank commander obeyed the direct order and fired at Shelipov with his automatic Kalashnikov.
