New York Times visual investigator Christiaan Tribert tweeted about the partially eaten corpse, "One fighter told me the Russian forces had set the helicopter on fire after it crashed."
Sadly, this isn't the first corpse left to feed the Ukrainian wildlife. Last month, another video made its way online showing of three young pups chewing at the charred remains of a Russian soldier left behind.
The Russian government has been hit with various sanctions leaving their economy in shambles and their military leaders in heightened states of paranoia.
Putin has even gone as far as to use body doubles when making public appearances and recently launched test missiles to send a message to his critics.
