This all sounds like Nazi propaganda against Russia from 1943.

It wasn’t Nazi propaganda. The Russians employed “Barrage Battalions” to block the retreat of front line units. These units also fired on units which did not aggressively move forward in the attack.
BTW, US Army training emphasized that US officers were to use what ever force was necessary to stop a soldier who broke to the rear. Authorized force included lethal weapons.

What do you mean? The Soviets did that during WW II. They were called Barrier troops.
always there to makes excuses for Russia, aren’t you
maybe Russia is just losing?
Discerning folks do not believe propaganda from the combatants
And look how well it worked out for the Nazis.
It’s surprising the Daily Mail hasn’t yet won the war in Ukraine.
First Rule of Zeeper Club:
The Daily Mail Uke-Prop-Intell-Narrative is true!!!!!
The pro-Russia trolls aren’t helping Russia much either.
That’s nuts.
As nutty as sending zelenskysky $120 Billion?
And putting the welfare of another country ahead of our own.
What is that called again you blue-and-yellow people?
The Russians have been using the militias of the DPR, LPR, the Chechens and Wagner group on the ground. The regular Russia military, including conscriptions, have rarely seen battle on the ground.
If it's in the Daily Mail or posted by Timber, you can be sure it's disinformation.
At the very time that lines of diplomatic communication need to be open and active between Washington and Moscow, the sustained propaganda campaign portraying Russia as a communist, authoritarian state keen on re-creating the Soviet Empire makes it politically impossible for any U.S. political leader to say or do anything conciliatory towards Russia. This is both incredibly dangerous and stupid.

The U.S. hypocrisy is staggering. U.S. politicians and media analysts continue to scream bloody murder about Russian interference in U.S. elections and their feeble efforts to use social media to sway political opinion. Yet, without a sense of irony or shame, the U.S. openly talks about getting rid of the President of Belarus. It is this kind of duplicity that has brought Russia and China together in a historic union.
As long as the United States continues to pursue policies and make public statements that Russia perceives as an existential threat to its nation and people, a war between the United States and Russia appears more likely. I really hope that I am wrong.
Order No. 227
No, I am just pointing out the truth so that even moronic Canadians can understand it.
If they looked at me as cannon fodder I’d shoot the ‘retreat blockers’ in the confusion or when no one is looking. The Russian soldiers need to learn the concept of fragging.
100 cases of it in Viet Nam, according to Wikipedia.
