The barbaric punishment torture by Putin commanders for Russian soldiers accused of desertion and failing to follow orders has been revealed. One mutinous fighter is taped upside down to a tree in the biting cold near the frontline. Another – also tethered to a tree – is forced to eat snow by his superior officer.
The frightened and shaking men wore only underwear after being stripped of their winter uniforms. Their foul-mouthed commander is heard barking: « [They] wanted to **** off from their positions, not follow orders. » Forcing snow into the mouth of the refusenik, the raging officer says: « Eat, you ****ing ****. «
One of the taped men pleads in desperation: « I’m sorry, it won’t happen again. »
He is told by the commander: « You need to work, not **** off. Did I tell you where to go? »
The reply is: « I’m sorry, please. »
The Putin officer mocks their male sexuality, trolling them: « You ****ing f*****s, *** off! »
The sickening punishments come as peace talks are underway in the war, without a clear signal from Putin that he intends to halt his almost four year invasion of Ukraine.
« Russia turns people into cattle, because only animals obey orders without saying a word. Orwell’s farmyard – this is Putin’s Russia, » said Ukraine channel Butusov Plus.
Another channel War Archive states: « In the video, a Russian commander uses ‘updated’ methods of torture on two occupiers who refused to take part in an assault. »
Nevzorov Telegram channel posted: « The [Russian] generals continue to ‘shout and drive forward’.
« Therefore, local commanders have to invent new types of torture for their personnel. »
This came as sickening new Russian overnight strikes left 80% of Ukraine’s second city Kharkiv city and the surrounding region without power in blistering winter cold.
« There was no electricity last night, everything was knocked out, » said one resident.
« What could we do? It’s almost 24 hours now, and it’s -18C outside. »
Governor Oleh Syniehubov said: « Our energy system came under attack and there was quite serious damage.
« All crews are at work to eliminate all the negative consequences quickly.
« About 80% of the city of Kharkiv and Kharkiv region is without electricity. »
Brutal new strikes on Black Sea port Odesa left 22 people injured, said officials.
There were fears people were trapped after a residential building was hit.
One was reported to be an 86 year old woman.
