Russian soldiers refusing to fight on the frontlines of Ukraine are being rounded up and detained, prompting their family members to try to go to their rescue, it has been reported.
Troops, who thought they could opt to leave Russian forces after a three-month contract fighting in the Ukraine war, have instead reportedly been sent to a makeshift detention center in Bryanka, in the Luhansk region which Moscow says it now controls.
Relatives told The Insider... there is a large number of refuseniks which Moscow's military command is not letting return home, fearing others will follow their example.
The father of one Russian soldier told the outlet that soldiers who wanted to quit had been bullied back into rejoining the frontlines or else were kept in cramped spaces where they face tough conditions, forced labor and sometimes torture.
"It is better to give your soul to God than to go back there," the unnamed father told the outlet. "They no longer want to be up to their ears in the blood of their friends and comrades."
Relatives and parents of the troops have traveled to an administration building in the self-proclaimed Luhansk People's Republic (LPR) where the soldiers have been detained to try to get answers from the authorities, The Insider reported.
...
"We need to do something, we need to get the children out of there and stop the lawlessness," one mother named by The Insider as Maria told the publication, "If we are the first, then others will follow. I don't know exactly how many of us there are, but I know there are many."
The Nestka publication reported last week that a center in the Luhansk region was where hundreds of servicemen who refused to fight had been taken, with many being held in basements and garages.

Is another Bolshevik style revolution brewing in Russia due to dissatisfaction with Putin's war?
Ukraine ping!
Someone may need to ping more FReepers about this.
There are so many crap articles coming out of the region.
Is this true? Are other stories true?
It’s just noise to me. You have to go to bedrock truth and
try to make sense from that.
Russia didn’t want the Ukraine to join NATO. The Ukraine
leadership said they wouldn’t join. Did Russia go home?
Anyone believing Russia at this point is just seriously
challenged.
Smells like a heavy dose of bull dump.

Zelensky says the Ukraine will give up joining NATO.

Must be a slow news weak for Newsweak
Because it never happened, right?
Pleaaazzee.
Maybe some putin lovers here could switch places with these soldiers so they could go home.
Only useful idjits promote the idea that Putin is prosecuting an expansionist war rather than opposing the StateDept/CIA war which in his perspective threaten Russia and stopped the Minsk Agreements.
Case you’re not paying attention: Putin doesn’t give a damn about gaining all Ukraine
Only a total fool would think that Putin would challenge the West for territorry.
He is militarily attacking to regain Greater Russia territory? Seriously?!
I spotted a huge error in this article.
I did something terrible, and actually checked the source cited by Newsweek.
Look at this quote from Newsweek:
“The Nestka publication reported last week that a center in the Luhansk region was where hundreds of servicemen who refused to fight had been taken”
So I then checked the cited source for this article, and saw the number of deserters it listed was SEVENTEEN.
SEVENTEEN. It names each one.
It says the facility has the capacity to hold 133.
How many deserters and draft refusers are held in Ukrainian government prisons?
This article just serves to remind me that Newsweek has zero value now that mainstream US media has no credibility.
I do not believe this story at all.
Commies lie. That’s the bottom line. You just have to figure out what They’re lying about.

Nonsense.
You guys are just lost in space.
Reality is a bitch.
Every reason he used to go in, worthless, and yet you still
stick with him.
What are you guys going to do when we’re at war with Russia
and China?
Are you going to state we started it and side with them?
You’ve got some serious thinking to do.
In fact Ukraine is catching up on PR. Russia released scores of the Ukrainian troops to their wives and parents who them applied for Russian cities zenship and settled there.
Commies lie and smart people do not fall for their propaganda
Says the Russian dog currently managing this account whose software translation just broke.
That’s autocorrection, clown. I think no extraordinary intellectual capacity is required to understand what I mean.
That’s really sad.
