Grisly Images Reveal Russian Soldiers Are Being Abused by Their Own Commanding Officers

Grisly images smuggled from the Ukrainian front by Russian soldiers reveal monstrous abuse by their commanding officers, including electrocutions, beatings, and even some being forced to fight to the death for their superiors’ amusement!

In one shocking clip, via Daily Mail, a Russian soldier with the 132nd Separate Guards Motor Rifle Gorlovka Brigade is seen imprisoned inside a box with only his chained head poking out. Nearby, a plastic container with bread and meat sits tantalizingly out of reach. “Are you hungry?” a sadistic commander asks. “Eat, you dog. You’re going to die there, you know.”

Another repellent video shows two Russian soldiers chained to a tree and forced to bark like dogs by a superior who then urinates on them. “These are our dogs who ran away from us,” the officer is heard saying, “but we caught them.”

In yet another horrific clip, two 132nd Brigade soldiers are duct-taped to a tree, the outlet reported. One has a bucket on his head, which his commander kicks while demanding, “Why did you refuse orders?”

The unsettling images have emerged as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine plods into its fifth year — with estimates suggesting as many as 325,000 dead Russian troops and another staggering 1.2 million casualties for dictator Vladimir Putin’s ragtag army.

According to the outlet, experts claim the systematic abuse of soldiers, or “dedovshchina,” which translates to “hazing,” is a grim reflection of Russia’s dog-eat-dog society, where “violence, extortion and corruption are endemic,” says Keir Giles, an expert on the nation’s military.

According to Giles, the abuse is also fueled by the class tension inherent in Russia’s society, with Putin replenishing the gutted ranks by raiding rural towns and the disenfranchised for recruits.

Cops get hefty sums to shanghai arrested criminals into service while other outcasts — the homeless, convicts and minorities — are forcibly conscripted.

“These are people that come from the poorest levels of Russian society,” Giles said, who adds many recruits have never seen a toilet or a toothbrush before joining the Russian army, the Daily Mail reported.

“Putin does not want to mobilize large numbers from cities, where people can exchange information and understand the real cost of the war,” Giles adds. “If casualties are concentrated in rural areas, that vulnerability is reduced.”

Meanwhile, a U.S. national security source tells Globe that the abuse is the Russian army’s “weakness.”

“In World War II, Russia prevailed because Stalin appealed to the people’s nationalism, their love of the Rodina, or motherland,” says the source. “The modern Russian army lacks that motivating impulse and that is why, I believe, they will always fail, even when favored by superior numbers.”

Frontline reports have emerged of Russian officers executing soldiers to steal their bank cards, starving them, forcing them to spend their own money on medical care and ordering them on suicide missions, or “meat storm” assaults, as punishment for menial transgressions.

“Caught with a smartphone — sent to assault, dead in three days,” read one anonymous Telegram message sent by a soldier on the front, according to the outlet. “Detained by military police without a combat order — sent to assault, dead within a day. Didn’t extend your contract — assault. Didn’t sign a contract — assault.”

Nightmarish videos show Russian officers using their wounded as cannon fodder, with one grunt forced to charge on crutches and others ordered into battle with broken arms and legs and ruptured intestines or without eyes.

“I fought five times, two severe injuries and a severe brain injury,” a soldier says in one clip, per Daily Mail. “Now they hang guns on me and take me to the front line without any problems.”

Still another chilling video shows two shirtless Russian soldiers in a ditch while a commander above them is heard saying, “Here’s the deal. Whoever kills the other first gets to leave the pit.” The two-minute video then shows the men fight until one strangles the other to death.

“I want nothing to do with this country anymore,” a fed-up soldier says on one video, according to the report. “To all the organizations out there, please help.”
