A member of Ukraine’s peace negotiations team has been shot dead amid claims he may have been spying for Russia. BE ON IT with the latest news and lifestyle videos: www.news.com.au
If he even was. Most likely he knew things and some powerful people were afraid. Just as many leaders of the so called Euro-Maidan were killed afterwards.
I'm surprised that more people aren't mentioning how little sense this video makes. They say he was executed on grounds of treason in the form of espionage for Russia, but then say that the government is hailing him as a hero and he "died defending his nation"... The hell am I supposed to make of that?
That's because two separate arms of the Ukrainian government released contradicting statements on their official Twitter accounts. One of them said he died in an intel op protecting his country and hailed his as a hero while the other said he was a spy and was executed. This poor man tried to do the right thing, make compromises with Russia and put an end to the war. If you haven't figured out that the Ukrainian government is corrupt af by now then there's really no hope for you.
@@darkdragunov5265 I'm the last person to lecture about Ukraine's corruption. It's the reporting here that doesn't make any sense. What you said should've been made apparent in the video is the point. Of course, I don't know why I expect anything reasonable from this news station. There one of the most hardcore propagandists I've seen on RU-vid
@@Cardinal541 If I'm not mistaken in the sequences of Ukraine's twitter posts. They said he was a spy and was executed firstly and then another branch of government released a statement afterwards hailing him as a hero, saying he died in an intel op defending his country. The shit Ukraine is releasing to the media doesn't make any sense, cuz it's a sack of well-packaged lies.
@@christophertate6453 except they arent even sure if hes playing both side they said maybe a spy so they killed someone innocent probably lmao totally not a warcrime but russia is the war criminal innit
Ukrainian government is facist and has many naz'is in it. They didn't even put the man on trial and let him defend himself in court, they just assassinated him in cold blood.
This video is a terrible excuse of journalism, we aren’t given footage, who shot him, or which side he was really on, it also seems to give us conflicting information.
Sky news is pouring out pro Putin propaganda too. Not sure if they're being hijacked or if they have an Australian version of Boris Johnson pulling strings to make it happen. But for sure when all the trolls disappear from the u.s. comments sections they all turn up in Australia.
@@unohooclanunohooclan5945 OK, and what does "common sense" mean? This story seems fishy, I'm definitely going to be confirming this on another source. When we get no sources, or footage, or interviews, just a slide show saying this dude was shot with a gun (who even shot him?) It just seems like a story to rile people up. If he had committed treason, wouldn't he had been arrested? Who sign off on this? At best this is a very poorly done news story, at worst it's an outright lie.
Something doesnt fit. If he was cooperating with Russia it wasn't a smart move for Russia to shoot him.If he was shot by Ucrainians because of his treason then why are they proclaiming him a hero? There must be a third one somewhere trying to fish on murky waters so the meeting for peace fails.... Or is it the news media doing a sloppy job?
What articles seem to imply is that Denis Kireev was found by the Ukrainians to be a spy working for the Russians, and hence killed for treason. Having a traitor inside their ranks is hard to hear for Ukrainian people, killing a traitor gives Ukraine a very bad image in the West. What the articles imply is that after having announced this version, Ukrainians changed the official version and announced that he had been killed in an attack, making a hero out of him. But anyhow there’s no serious source to the news, I've checked online and it is copy-pasted everywhere without any fact-checking, so it has pretty much zero informational value so far. It could be a Russian spoof or anything, the guy could even not be called like this or still be alive and doing his job. Any serious news outlet would not have published this video.
Discovering a double agent without any decent Counterinteligence agency is so hard that you can pretty much dismiss this as baseless acusation. A double agent in American secret services leaked blueprints for nuclear weapons to the soviet union and united states had no clue if it wasnt for his lawish spending of money. If CIA had this much trouble catching him. you can bet Ukros who barely know which end of a gun to hold just used it as an excuse to silence any voice of common sense and reason.
@Jefferson Jeff I'm not too sure if you Russian bots just don't understand most other people have some sense of 'logic'.. Ukraine will not have gained anything from just murdering one of their own fabricating this story up, its a lose/lose situation.
Ukraine: we need this invasion to stop! Also ukraine: die peace negotiator dieee!! Also also ukraine: so our peace negotiator was a brave hero as he died for our country...
I have no idea what the hell is going on and I'm not even going to pretend I do. I just want my Russian and Ukrainian friends to be safe and out of that hell zone.
Your Russians friends are sleeping without fear everyday. They are not being shot at from all the sides. Just pray for your ukrainians friends they need that far more than russians.
@@datdudeinred Tbf innocent Russians are also suffering. Very young men are being conscripted and the sanctions will push millions into absolute poverty. That being said Ukrainians are obviously having a much worse time being bombed and looted
Isn't that normally a death sentence during war. Maybe they didn't kill him. Maybe they were turning him over to Russia so he killed him self. Fuck, this video was so confusing I have no idea if this guy even existed.
Ukrainian government is facist and has many nazis in it. They didn't even put the man on trial and let him defend himself in court, they just assassinated him in cold blood.
Yours is a great, great point! You could expand that idea to the whole of social media. Some 'homespun' philosopher once put it this way, 'It's not that people don't know, it's that they know so much that ain't so.' I think that says it all!
Dude, Russian police are arresting children and old women because they write "no war" on a piece of paper... Journalists and opposition leaders are either shot dead, poisoned, or in jail. STFU.
War is cruel, and it is something that every individual does not want to experience personally, but if this war is your own choice, then you cannot blame the initiator of the war, because before the other party launched this war, countless Over the years, under your master's plan, you have launched a devastating war against the opponent and are preparing for it.. The Ukrainians themselves chose this war because the government you support is under the control of the American master. The American government is launching all kinds of provocations, confrontations and wars against the world all the time, all the time thinking about how to turn its imaginary enemy ruthless. Kill and let it disappear from the world, especially for Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, Venezuela, etc. Ukrainians leave their own destiny under the control of the US government, do not want to control their own destiny in their own hands, and do things that endanger the security of other countries for a long time, that's fine, since you don't want to control your own destiny, now the Russians have come to help you control your destiny. Although it is cruel to say this, I have to say that this war was completely brought by you Ukrainians, you deserved it, this is the outcome of the provocation, how this war will end, is also in your own hands, but obviously the Ukrainian government is still dreaming of being able to defeat Russia with its super stupid ideas, vulnerable strength and support from other countries, Completely ignoring one's own strength, position, right and wrong, reasonable and unreasonable, humanized and dehumanized, the security of the country and the people, etc., is a wrong path to the end, the sad Ukrainian government and people, You really brought this war on your own, and you deserve death and destruction, In the far east, there is a small island that belongs to China but is currently self-governing, the administrators of Taiwan, who, like you Ukrainians, are under the control of the American masters, ignorantly doing everything they can to provoke the Chinese Communist government. It is stupid to think that the United States, the common enemy of mankind, can give you all the protection, without considering your own abilities and all the favors, kindness and tolerance that the other party has given to you, who are of the same origin and the same language, but the ignorance on Taiwan Island The person is so lucky, because the Chinese Communist Party will not eliminate all kinds of provocations from the ignorant island in a Russian-like war, but I absolutely hope that the Chinese government will bring the ignorant island people into its own management as soon as possible, and reduce the number of conflict, harassment from the USA--United States of Arm.
@@copernicofelinis If its against the law in their country, the police have the right to arrest someone that has a "no war" sign. Its not your place to speak without hearing the other side, but you cant because the west is censoring the Russians who are releasing real documents that show crimes of NATO in the past
@@exoticdachoo007 yeah, this is the whole point: in Russia, oppression of the people is coded in law. And btw, which law, specifically, says that journalists and political opponents can be assassinated? I guess you won't find that written in the regime media. There's only propaganda, there.
They did similar things in ww2. In 1944 the field marshal Erwin Rommel also was executed for his role in Operation Valkyrie, yet he was hailed as a hero so the peoples morale wasnt brought down
Lack of natural gas and energy is the future, Putin just fast it forward to present. The need of destruction and reducing human population with war, nothing are more faster getting to the green peace objectives than let world war 3 taking place, the “rogue child” financing system of WWII - the bank behind it all. So green when all the buildings are destroyed, killing the civilians so Putin and his church could go to heaven after they died. So war is inevitable in the future, NATO and the USA just want to dream it on with the lack of sense CCP robots. Russia wants Ukraine for more land and natural resource grab! The world are running so short of the natural resources, the war of the future would be all power struggle over natural resources. 50 years into the future would be more desperate on war of resource grab. The world financial system are relying on population growth and GDP, this does not works with green peace and lack of natural resource in the future, this planet is war borne, AWAKENING ... your God is here! A failed to work planet, ,, the diversity of politics ,, crazy house prices, ,, need of GDP and so the need of population growth, .. ,, pandemic and war ,, oh, I don’t need to educate this planet that it’s a failed to work. This is why China and Russia didn’t even bother with green peace objectives, in their agenda being the weaker one didn’t survive in the jungle, they are the beasts, the top of the food chain.
@@matthewgodfrey352 He was part of the plot to kill Hitler because it became clear Hitler would destroy Germany before accepting peace. He was given the option because he was a hero among the people...Rommel is stil;l considered great and loyal in most written history as he only turned on Hitler when it was obvious Hitler was mad !
@UCkPFTM9vRoSS0z85YCcPjoA Putin's military has fought like garbage! So far mostly cowards and quitters. Putin has had a horrible game plan. The Soviet Union collapsed a long time ago. It will never be back. Putin is actually destroying his country not helping it. Since Vladimir has a little PEE PEE and thinks he might push the button I think USA will get their 1st!👍 If Russia thinks the USA is scared. Just like in World War II when we stayed quiet until Japan made a move. Same thing. I believe USA is purposely not engaging with Russia until they make a foolish mistake. And then I believe it will be total destruction from the US. Just my opinion but then again who am I !?🤔
If you look at the Geneva Conventions that is fair if you catch a spy on your side and they are not in uniform you have the right to execute that’s the way rules work and it’s written on the Geneva Convention it’s why we got to kill a British general in North America but we but Benedict Arnold got away you’re allowed to convict an executor spy in war
Where have you been? Ukraine is crazy: 1) Killed 11+ thousand in Donbass over 8 years, 2) Gave neo nazi Asov Brigade control of part of military, 3) Gave civilians weapons but not uniforms, which is a war crime, 4) Display POWs publicly and have them make statements, which is a war crime, 5) Drafted all men 16 to 60, forbidding them to leave, but not incorporated them into military, which is a war crime. Edit: Since several commenters asked or were unaware of how these things are war crimes. 3) Giving civilians weapons and encouraging them to attack enemy troops while ununiformed renders them unprivileged belligerents unprotected by the 4th Geneva Convention, and is is a violation of Article 51(7) of the 1977 Additional Protocol 1 of the Geneva Conventions. 4) All these videos the Ukranians put out are violation of Article 13 of Third Geneva Convention, "Image of Prisoners of War (POWs) as identifiable individuals should normally be regarded as subjecting such individuals to public curiosity and should not be transmitted, published or broadcast." 5) Preventing civilians from exiting the warzone without inducting them into the military is a violation of Article 51(7) of the 1977 Additional Protocol 1 of the Geneva Conventions.
Look at Ukraine. Why go to court? Each soilder of Ukraine or Russia would have done the same. Let me drop you off in Kirkiev & see how U feel after a week.
better than the cia zalensky hero lie that people are lapping ike ice cream flavor bull.shit. if he wants to be a hero, why won't he come clean? he is getting people killed.
This story has multiple layers to it. Usually you kill someone, when he knows some truths you don't want others to know. But in the end, the opposite happens.
They murdered him like animal. No court, no nothing. If they knew he was agent, they could have put him in prison or exclude him from negotiating. And we have to believe nazis are not in control of ukraine. Just search RU-vid how they brag aboit maidan coup, being sponsored by the west, and just having fun killing, caring about no one. It's crazy, but it's true
They've got their independence in 91', havent created an army, navy air force, special forces team, secret service, refused to join NATO , they had 30yrs to build a better Ukraine, being a hippie with a gun doesn't create structure
Im Sure they're not blocking out all the bombs and activity they've never seen before... The troubles are just beginning it may be weeks or months before they have a normal day. That's trauma
It's to maintain morale for its people. If superman turned out to be a rapist in his spare time wouldn't it be better to lie and keep hope alive in a hero?
@@allanclose9684 gods just on RU-vid reading comments debating if he should intervene like "well, Sheryl, what a good point, ill talk to putin and see what he thinks..."
My Uncle was a former Government worker and he’s told me crazy stories about how they assassinated people and about how they killed a Russian double agent like over 30 years ago
It is accepted practice in war to summarily execute infiltrators working for the enemy without trial. Geneva Convention etc only applies to people wearing the correct country's military uniforms. When German units in the Battle of the Bulge attempted to cross Allied lines disguised as Americans, they were simply shot whenever they were caught. Germans did the same to partisans.
It is possible he leaked crucial information to Russia, for example the location of Ukrainian President. That information could have caused Russia to bombard that area, quite possibly causing civilians to die. If you have spies in your army, it will seriously damage your ability to defend your country. This is really bad for Ukrainians because both speak Russia, so it is easy to implement spies to one another.
@@suomipoika1796 nope someone is trying to sabotage the peace talks. Zelenskyy wants war he knew the repercussions of signing with nato and Ukraine becoming a proxy state for nato that will be sacrificial lamb to bog down Russia while arming neo Nazis.

If that happens at a high level, then Ukraine should also vet out foreign fighters who volunteer to fight for Ukraine. They could be double agents too. Russia also claims it has mercenaries who will fight for Russia.
But, isn't preparing foreigners for war and equipping them with weapons called *Terrorists* . Or, can they be labeled as Freedom fighter for convenience, now.
@@ahmedshinwari No, attacking a place, unprovoked, (no matter your race, nationality, etc) especially with civilians and children, IS terrorism. Period. Arming to defend yourself and your home when under attack already, is heroism.
Wait I'm so confused....he was going to the negotiations as a Ukraine official? And the Ukraine Agency killed him? But the ukraine govt hailed him a hero protecting the homeland? This video is so confusing
Judging from what I know about this world, I'm thinking he was probably the one negotiator who ACTUALLY wanted peace and suggested that they cave to Russia's demands. That got him labeled as a traitor. The penalty for treason is death. Peace will not happen anytime soon, is what I gather.
@@Vodkaman007 think about how much money ukraine is gaining from this through donations, etc. America is probably paying the leaders insane amount of money to keep the negative effects on russia for as long as possible (ruble crash, exports ban, etc). You think no money is made during war?
@@jaclrossrick6327 Dude... what the hell are you talking about? The money donated goes to what it is meant to so they can afford to exist durning this war. Ukraine is only losing money and lives in this conflict.
But one side of the story may be shaky and the other sound. I'm sure a lot of BBC announcements during WWII were tailored to help uphold morale but which side was basically in the right? I have no doubt, and I have no doubt now that Ukraine is basically in the right in this war.
@@happilyeggs4627 Russia has more right to keep NATO off their flat land border than the United States had to overthrow the governments of Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, or Syria. That's all I'm sure of.
@Tj Kirby 2 questions: Is Ukraine a sovereign country? Why then are Russians invading another country? (Remember, I know the answers before I asked the questions).
This being the case probably means negotiation stalemate, one less negotiator at a table accused of perfidy. A challenge of sorts to pin point anyone responsible for treason as the two countries share inosculated past. Which currently still remains the case for a large portion of political dealings on both sides.
This guys suggested to comply with Russian demands because he wanted to stop the war. Arguably the only one who cares about civilians enough on the entire table. Than call it treason and shoot him. Now what would happen if Russia shot those against the war?
@@carlossoza2441 No worries, I have a college education but I still had to look them up! A vast vocabulary allows one to articulate precisely what he wants to convey but ONLY IF his audience has the same!
Keep seeing this quote and it's wrong, people who you trust, rely or count on betray you, people you expect to hurt you cannot betray because you do not instill trust in them. If you do, you betrayed yourself. Effectively, you self sabotaged from the get go.
What’s there too explain? They had physical proof that he was a spy! There’s no explaining that. He knew the risks of the job and knew that he would die if he got caught. And he did.. simple there’s no “ oh his family , god knows his truth” his job is to lie and deceive people so putin gains more power and kills more people. I don’t think god gives two shits about this guy. And his family? He won’t have a family that’s the hole point of being a spy. And if he did I’m sure they were well aware of his situation.
They got phone call records of this guy leaking intel. What kind of explanation would justify that? lol. Nothing. He can't even say he's being threatened. There's no justification for treason in wartimes. That's immediate execution.
@@N0noy1989 agree. and if they need more information from spying guy they will definately not kill him but they know all what they need so just bullet in head.
Ukraine are under martial law and have suspended the populations constitutionally protected rights , basically police and military are allowed to be judge jury and executionor to protect national security . Its called a summary execution and can be used during invasions to try and regain law and order and to protect the nations sovereignty. Its considered a breach of human rights by certain groups but not a war crime , its basically a grey area legally.
It happens. Alfred Nobel invented dynamite and was dubbed The Angel of Death in the press. So he left a fund after his death that became The Nobel Prize. Now that's all most remember of him.
If you a spy.. you can leak information.. sensitive classified info.. that will give a advantage. Learn the ways of war before even thinking about opening your mouth.
Pretty easy. He can be feeding info to the russians so putin can use it as bargaining or leverage, or have knowledge of the situation inside the Ukrainian government, so putin would know how much he has to negotiate or has the upper hand and can pressure more. Very typical of russia to have spies.

Ukrainian government is facist and has many naz'is in it. They didn't even put the man on trial and let him defend himself in court, they just assassinated him in cold blood.
So he was or wasn't a double agent? They killed him then claimed he was a hero, so it was a mistake? Seems like something you'd want to question him for a while for rather than just killing him.
With how close ukrainians are with Russia there's no telling who's who anymore who's affiliated with what, and that somebody has always had ties with so and so or whoever this is really a complicated conflict to begin with, but I do hope sence intellect and reason pave the way for a free Ukraine, that hopefully someday this violence will finally come to an end peacefully hopefully sooner than later...

Whatever gave you the idea that this is about a "free" Ukraine? Ukraine is a pawn used to goad Russia into war, so Nato/EU power expands and Russia's power shrinks. (Sorry about the cynicism, but that's my opinion.) Let all people call out to Jesus for eternal salvation (to spend eternity in heaven & not that other place), as this conflict has already killed many and could end up involving nukes. No one really knows where a fight/war will end up, once engaged in (unless one side has overwhelming superiority - which is not the case here). Russia is stronger than Ukraine but no one knows what level of war assistance comes from Nato/USA/EU. China wants Taiwan. Conditions exist for a much wider war. Matthew 16:26 For what is a man profitedd, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
Exactly! NATO wants him gone. They don't care for peace resolution otherwise they wouldn't walk out during the meeting. And If he's a real spy he should be on trial not shot dead by the west. Wtf
True. The thing is. Putin doesn't really want peace. He wants Ukraine in his pocket, and put Yanukovych that puppet to be the ruler again. That Yanukovych guy had a plate for his head as thick as the Atlantik Wall. Doesn't he get is that the people despise him? He wants to be a leader of people who despise him? I can't really follow some people's logic. Then again, I'm as far from these Putin(Mini-Me) Yaku and Lavrov(Saruman) guys as the earth is from the sun.
