A video that was shared on the pro-Ukraine Telegram channel AFU StratKom on Friday shows several reservists punching a man dressed in army fatigues in the face and kicking him after he falls down next to a row of bunkbeds.“You’ll have time to brawl and fight,” he promises them, in an apparent reference to the war in Ukraine.
