New footage obtained by our editorial team exposes a disturbing case of abuse within the Russian army ranks. The video shows Russian soldiers committing severe acts of violence against another soldier from their unit, violating all basic military conduct rules.
The chilling footage displays difficult-to-watch scenes: Russian soldiers are seen extinguishing cigarettes on their fellow unit member's body, accompanied by vulgar cursing in Russian. The victim soldier is forced to dance under duress, subjected to continuous threats and violence from his unit members.
In the video, the attackers appear to be under the influence of alcohol, constituting another serious violation of military protocols. The documented incident raises serious questions about discipline and supervision in the Russian army.
If this is how Russian soldiers treat their fellow serviceman, one can only imagine the bitter fate of Ukrainian soldiers who fall into captivity. This isn't about a bitter enemy, but rather a fighter serving alongside them under the same flag.
The complete absence of officers and sergeants during the incident speaks volumes about the fundamental deterioration of the Russian military system.
According to the report, a Russian army serviceman illegally took five hundred rubles from his fellow soldier. As a result, his unit members decided to take the law into their own hands and impose physical punishment on him, supposedly in the name of "moral education." This appears to be the common method of education in the Russian army.
And if anyone ever wondered about the human spirit among Russian army soldiers – this shocking footage shows that human warmth is as far from them as east is from west.
Such violent behavior within a military unit indicates a severe failure in the chain of command and could significantly impact the unit's readiness and operational capability. When soldiers act violently toward their unit members, it indicates a complete breakdown of military discipline.
Again, the footage raises particular concern against the backdrop of the ongoing war in Ukraine. If Russian soldiers treat their unit members this way, there is grave concern about the treatment of Ukrainian soldiers who fall into Russian captivity.
This serious incident joins a series of previous reports about disciplinary violations and violence in the Russian army, raising pointed questions about the culture of violence embedded in the Russian military system and its ability to control its soldiers.
When Ukrainian prisoners of war, upon returning from Russian captivity, reveal chilling testimonies about physical, mental, and sexual abuse they endured, and Russian propaganda hurries to denounce these testimonies as fiction – here stands conclusive evidence proving the truth of their words. Russian propaganda spokespersons should look at this shocking footage, which reveals a glimpse of the harsh truth occurring within their army's ranks.
