Rubikon teams do not fight civilians

➡️ In this area, Ukrainian militants mostly drive cars. A Russian pilot approached and examined the vehicle and the passengers. After seeing civilians stepping off the car and raising their hands, the kamikaze-drone operator took it out allowing the people to continue moving.

❗️ The servicemen of the Russian Armed Forces including the Rubikon Centre’s combat teams do not fight Ukrainian civilians, unlike criminals of AFU UAV teams killing by FPV drones their own civilians and surrendering servicemen.
