If not already posted, the translated transcript.

RE-POST Edit: The title of the same post was inaccurate and miss used. Also, translation was made. Slava Ukraine and thank you for your understanding !
u/catf3f3 - Translator ;
P - POW
O - Off-camera
* He uses the word “zampolit”, which means deputy commander for political affairs. I will just use that word in the translation, for briefness
P - [mid-sentence] …zampolit gave the order to shoot at… [fumbles words] gave the order to block the roads
O - Wait. Please tell me, where exactly did this take place? Do you know?
P - In Kharkiv, on the ring road
O - OK, in Kharkiv, on the ring road. When did this take place?
P - On the 24th
O - OK, good. You were there. What was your mission?
P - We did not have a mission. The zampolit of our regiment was setting our missions himself
O - I see. At that time, on the ring road, who was present there? Who did you start shooting at?
P - Zampolit, when we started blocking the road, the civilians, they started a kind of a riot, they said “we need to go home”, “we need to go to work”, “we need to go elsewhere”. Our zampolit got fed up with this, and he told us to start shooting at the civilians.
O - Please tell me, what happened then?
P - When they started shooting, some cars started turning around and leaving. Some people were [unclear], they were hiding. Then your guys came, the military. They started shooting at us. Ours started shooting back. While ours were shooting, me and the lieutenant were rescuing the civilians.
O - This lieutenant - is he your commanding officer? Were you reporting to him?
P - No, he was in charge of another platoon
O - Do you remember his name?
P - Levankov Ivan Alexandrovich, I think
O - The two of you have made the decision to…
P - Yes
O - What decision?
P - The decision to rescue the civilians
O - So, Ukrainian citizens…
P - Ukrainian…
O -…That were shot at by your (troops)
P - Yes… Russia… which [unclear] …colonel… lieutenant colonel… lieutenant colonel to shoot at civilians
O - After you ran up to the civilians, what happened after? Please try to remember.
P - We were hiding these civilians behind the blocks.
O - Who were they? Do you remember then?
P - There was a mother, her daughter…
O - Approximate age?
P - The mother was about 51, and the daughter was 22 to 25
O - OK, what happened then? You ran up to them, and?
P - The lieutenant ran up, started pulling them out of the car and yelling “get over here”. We laid them down next to us, behind the blocks. About 20 minutes have passed. The girls [possibly, young women - unclear] were crying. Then the lieutenant colonel noticed that we’re helping civilians. He gave the order to shoot at as and at them (the civilians). The lieutenant at first took it (a bullet) to his helmet, but it didn’t penetrate. Then it hit him in the carotid artery. They killed him. Then they were shooting at the mother, of the daughter…
O - What happened to that woman that they were shooting at?
P - She also perished, like the lieutenant
O - Then what happened?
P - Then, the daughter and I started to retreat, ours started shooting at my legs.
O - At your legs? Both legs?
P - Yes.. If not for the garage [stand-alone building], they would also kill me, like the lieutenant, and the mother… and the daughter, too
O - What happened next?
P - Then, the daughter and I were sitting behind this garage, until it all calmed down. When it all calmed down, the daughter said that we should get out of there (by car), and call the ambulance. Then she went to her mother, where they were both laying on top of each other with the lieutenant, and took the car keys. I dragged myself to the car, she shoved me into the car, in the back seat, started the car. I asked her if she knows how to drive. She said “so-so”. We collected all [unclear - possibly saying that the car got scratched up, but not 100%], where there was no shooting. We moved away by about 300-400 meters. Then I wanted to drink… I lost consciousness at some point. When I came to, I wanted to drink…
O - Where did you come to? In the car?
P - Asked her… at the hospital… to buy something to drink…
O - Wait, calm down. Sounds like you came to already at the hospital, yes? Or was it in the car?
P - In the car. 
O - OK, you came to in the car, and asked her for a drink, correct?
P - Yes
O - Then what?
P - She stopped by a store, ran in there, bought some, I drank, she called the ambulance… Then she called her father. Her father told her to undress me and do a tourniquet. She didn’t get a chance to bandage me, because then the ambulance came
Exemplifies the best and worst of humanity. His commander lost it and ordered them to shoot, two brave soldiers shone as human beings and instead tried to save lives.
 
I can’t stand him and have felt that way since his stupid bow tie days.

That said can we leave the Tucker bullshit out of this thread? Start a new ‘Tucker Carlson is a moron’ thread and just keep it going for eternity.
An American news host going full potato and echoing Kremlin talking points on the most-watched American news channel is relevant to the thread on the Ukraine war.

Not really, but whatever you say.

I award 10 points for Team Blue!
 
Yeah, Putin either needs to be assassinated by his oligarchs/generals, or be hung for war crimes.

Screw the Russians. They can eat dirt for the next year.
Double the sanctions; start selling off the Russian oligarch assets to rebuild this. Make them all pay for their support of a dictator who did this. Take all of it and leave them penniless.
 
This article from yesterday indicates Russian gas still transits Ukraine to be sold in Europe.

Strange war.


HAS RUSSIAN GAS THAT FLOWS THROUGH UKRAINE TO EUROPE BEEN AFFECTED BY THE WAR?

No. Volumes of Russian gas delivered at the Slovakian border, after a roughly 800-mile journey through Ukraine, have, in fact, increased since the war began, according to data from Slovak gas transport company Eustream. Gas prices on the spot market have risen sharply, making Russian gas, which is largely sold through long-term contracts, more attractive to European buyers, analysts say.


WHAT ABOUT NORD STREAM 1? WHY HASN'T THAT PIPELINE PROJECT BEEN TARGETED BY SANCTIONS OR TURNED OFF?

Nord Stream 1, which has been delivering Russian gas for more than a decade, is currently Germany's gas lifeline. The lion's share of Russian gas comes into the country via that pipeline, so halting it would mark a serious blow to the German economy. Nord Stream 2 was different because it wasn't in service yet and so far, Germany hasn't needed additional gas supplies. Gazprom has argued it wants to build Nord Stream 2 to supply all of Germany's gas directly under the Baltic Sea rather than dealing with transit pipelines via Poland and Ukraine. It has repeatedly accused Ukraine of stealing gas, which Kyiv has denied.
