There is a gray area: while engaging an enemy, you may not know exactly at what point have they been neutralized, so if you keep shooting and kill them... well, tough luck, should have surrendered sooner.

These videos however, which show a clearly neutralized enemy, then go for a headshot... or the ones desecrating cadavers... or joking about civilian victims... make me think that whoever published them is either quite dim, or works for the other side.

Earlier in the Ukrainian war, there were some much smarter moves, like filming POWs being given a phone to call their families. That's both morally and strategically far better.

As mentioned, I've strayed into my opinion now.

I firmly believe they reduced suffering in the video. There was no one around, Russia is known for not recovering their wounded, he may well have laid there for hours until succumbing to hypothermia
