Ukraine releases video appearing to show Russian troops beating own wounded officer
Footage thought to show Wagner group fighters beating commander with what appear to be shovels
Ukraine has released extraordinary video footage that appears to show Russian fighters dragging their badly wounded commander away from the battlefield, and then beating him violently with what appear to be shovels.
A Ukrainian drone captured the incident near the eastern city of Bakhmut, where intense fighting has been raging for months. Four soldiers from Russia’s Wagner mercenary group carry their colleague through a landscape of ruined houses, holding his arms and legs. They then dump him next to a barn. A second video appears to show three men then hitting him repeatedly with shovels. The fate of the injured commander is unclear. But the episode tallies with persistent reports of low morale among Russian mercenary units.

Russian version of ‘Fragging’........................
They’re mercenaries - I guess you can’t expect professionalism or discipline.

Not only that, aren’t they taking inmates directly out of prison and giving them very little training?
The Guardian should approve, since their staff is composed of your typical leftist, no-morals, never had a real job clowns.
Russian healthcare.
“Russia-scitation”.
Stand clear.
Last words heard from the commander:
The beatings will continue until morale improves!
It’s classic Putinism. He just keeps making a bigger and bigger mess until his opponent surrenders. The mass quantity of filth oozing from Russia is truly staggering.
Consider the source. LOL
You can’t actually see them hit the guy in the clip. They might have been carrying a corpse and then chopping at the frozen ground to bury it. I still think the russisns need to go home though.
Consider the source.
what is amazing is that there are people naive enough to believe and post this propaganda.
They were not beating him - they were chopping him up with axes.
Rumors and some evidence circulates that some Russian soldiers have “fragged” their commanders on more than one occasion.
