Drunk Russian soldiers storm into bar, fire weapons and attack people with batons

Drunk Russian soldiers terrorised locals by storming a bar in Crimea, opening fire, and shooting near people’s heads.

Distressing video shows the soldiers beating men and women with batons at the Fortress Cafe.

The victims suffered broken bones from the attack although there were no fatalities.

The troops attacked the bar after celebrating Russia’s Defender of the Fatherland Day – also known as Men’s Day.

Video footage was released by the girlfriend of one of the victim’s who is in a serious condition in hospital.

She said: ‘Armed, masked men burst onto the balcony of the establishment where people were hanging out and smoking, and began beating them.

‘They put my boyfriend on a chair and began to brutally beat him with batons.

‘His brother, who tried to stand up for him, and his friends also suffered.

‘Two balding, boorish men who beat up visitors turned out to be military officers on duty.

‘When we tried to find out the names of these people, we were informed that they would try to hush up the case.

‘Friends, help spread the video and give it publicity, so that this does not happen again tomorrow to your children and loved ones.

‘My heart bleeds from the atrocity.’

A criminal case is said to have been opened against the soldiers but other accounts claim they instead faced mob justice.
