The beatings have been upgraded to shootings due to even poorer morale.

Ukraine should award them medals for all these enemy kills.

Russians have had hundreds of years of purges to smarten up, and they simply refuse to, so they let their state take their lives, instead of rising up against Putin, the Kremlin, the FSB, and fighting for them.

You don’t say

So... like always? When has Russia not done this?

This is the best summary I could come up with:


WASHINGTON (AP) β€” The White House on Thursday said Russia is executing soldiers who have failed to follow orders and threatening entire units with death if they retreat from Ukrainian artillery fire.

In the past, the administration has said it has acted to disclose the intelligence to highlight plans for Russian misinformation and other activity so allies remain clear-eyed about Moscow’s intent and Russia thinks twice before carrying out an operation.

Kirby pointed to the information as he renewed a plea for Congress to pass a nearly $106 billion supplemental funding request that Biden unveiled last week.

So to ensure that we can continue to do that it’s critical that Congress step up and pass the supplemental requests that the president put forward last week.”

The contract soldiers were pulled out of Ukraine after their leader, Yevgeny Prigozhin, mounted an armed rebellion in June.

There also have been reports, including from the British Defense Ministry, that the regular Russian military has deployed β€œbarrier troops” that threaten to shoot any deserters.


The original article contains 484 words, the summary contains 170 words. Saved 65%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

I love it when fascists murder each other!

[–] doggle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 24 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I mean, it's fascists murdering likely conscripted soldiers for refusing to go along with the fascists....

[–] Styxie@feddit.nl 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I doubt that distinction makes any difference to the Ukrainians who are defending their country from genocidal murderers.
