The man appears to be wearing a Russian military uniform, and is clearly in distress. The Ukrainian soldiers seem to be taunting him, and at one point one of them kicks him in the head.
It is unclear when or where the video was filmed, but it has caused outrage in Russia. The Russian government has condemned the killing and called for an investigation into the incident.
Background

The soldiers then begin to taunt him, calling him a “fascist” and a “terrorist”. One of the soldiers kicks him in the head, while another pours water over his face.

The Ukrainian government has not yet commented on the video. However, Ukrainian officials have accused Russia of using propaganda to fuel anti-Ukrainian sentiment.
