Ukraine IDs Russian soldier who shot unarmed civilians at a car dealership near Kyiv, CNN reports

The Prosecutor’s Office did not specify how Sokovikov was identified. But according to CNN, one of the technologies used by the Ukrainian military is facial recognition. Ukraine's Ministry of Digital Transformation uploads images of suspects into an application that analyzes social media pages, and once investigators have a match, they confirm it with the suspect's close relatives.

Video captured on a surveillance camera outside a car dealership near Kyiv was published by CNN on May 12. The footage shows five Russian soldiers first interrogating two unarmed men, then releasing them, after which one of the soldiers shoots them in the back. Istories identified one of the soldiers as Dmitry Lapshakov, a 29-year-old resident of the Peschanka settlement in Chita.

CNN says it has recently obtained new footage of the incident. It shows two soldiers shooting at someone near the car dealership. Other footage shows two civilians. Camera footage also shows five soldiers drinking alcohol at the site of the car dealership.
