According to cnn ,“the videos appear to be of separate events. One of them may have been filmed very recently, while the other - from the amount of foliage seen on the ground - looks like it was filmed during the summer."
The first video was published on a pro-Russian social media platform on April 8. Deliberately filmed by the Wagner mercenaries, it shows two decapitated bodies of Ukrainian soldiers lying on the ground next to a damaged military vehicle. Both soldiers also appear to have their hands cut off. Russian accounts claim the video was filmed near Bakhmut.
The second video, which appeared on Twitter and was heavily blurred, was likely recorded in the summer, given the amount of plant life on the ground. "It purports to show a Russian fighter using a knife to cut off the head of a Ukrainian soldier. A voice at the beginning of the video suggests the victim might have still been alive when the brutal attack began," CNN emphasizes.
