The Russian brigade accused of carrying out heinous war crimes against helpless civilians in Bucha has reportedly been attacked by Ukrainian drones and suffered 'heavy losses' in the Donbas, amid claims Vladimir Putin wants them to 'disappear'.
Soldiers of the 64th Motorised Rifle Brigade of the 35th All-Russian Army, who Ukrainian authorities named as those responsible for torturing, raping and executing civilians on the outskirts of Kyiv, withdrew last month to Belarus and then Russia.

Analysts say that Putin has deliberately sent them to the front lines in order to make them disappear so they could not never be forced to testify over their alleged war crimes.
Ukraine had published the names of the officers responsible for the Bucha massacre, and Putin knew they could one day be made to stand trial and reveal the scale of their atrocities.
An intelligence report in early April said: 'Another goal of the rapid return of the 64th Brigade to Ukrainian territory is the quick disposal of unnecessary witnesses.
'That is, redeployment to a part of the war front where they will have no chance of surviving, thus making it impossible for them to testify in future courts.'
The main intelligence directorate of Ukraine's MoD said at the start of the month that Russian commanders were refusing to rotate their brigades, and the 64th were in Belgorod in Western Russia ready for redeployment.
Putin then sent them to the front between Kharkiv and Izyum where fierce Ukrainian fighters were stationed looking to exact revenge on the now infamous brigade.
Images now purport to show destroyed T-80 battle tanks, Kamaz trucks and BTR-80 armoured personnel carriers with corpses lying beside the vehicles after the Donbas drone attacks.

64th Guards Motor Rifle Brigade
This will set the Putin cult on fire....lol
This group looks like mostly asians. Siberia?
Not me...I hope both sides lose.
Moskali!
Why in the world would Putin sending alleged war criminals to their deaths bother anybody?
Since Dailymail (purveyor of truth) reported this, I suspect Ivan is retreating to Siberian woods now. No more Russian boots In Ukraine!
Maybe they are being punished for their acts that embarrassed Russia?
For what it’s worth, these do not appear to be ruthless battle-hardened
atrocity inclined troops.
They may talk a lot about war crimes, but Russia isn’t going to send anyone (ever) to some German-run war-crimes ‘circus’. You can go down six different levels under Putin...no one will sign up for something like this.
The fake story of Bucha massacre is the revival of Nazi propaganda from WWII and the Asian “subhumans” is the development of it.
Good!
Russian scum!
Kill ‘em all!
They only have 10 mile stares.
So you can tell just by looking what drunk Russians would commit atrocities?
Spoken like true believer of the Putin cult. Very good.
It is pretty hard to see the photos of the death and destruction of Ukraine and see them as winning. I guess everyone has a different definition of winning.
