An entire platoon of the Russian army fled their frontline trenches and tried to escape to Crimea as commanders threatened execution for deserters, Ukraine claims.
Oleksandr Shtupun, the spokesman for the Tavria Grouping of Troops, said that 'nearly 40 invaders' had 'recently' tried to escape to the peninsula, which has been occupied by Russia since 2014.
'I'm talking about an entire platoon of the Russian army. There were reports that they were being hunted down in an attempt to bring them back,' he told Espreso Tv, adding that the deserters were armed.
The military spokesperson also reportedly said that a recent cold snap and unsanitary conditions prompted a further 30 Russian soldiers to surrender in just a four-day period.
It comes as desertions among the Russian ranks have surged as the war in Ukraine approaches the two-year mark, with dire conditions and high casualty rates swelling discontent in Putin's army.

I hate headlines that end with a disclaimer, such as “Ukraine claims”. After one’s brain has already taken in something that seems like a fact, it’s shown that it’s just an opinion. Such headlines should have to start with “Ukraine claims:”
It was reported a few weeks ago (Daily Mail, I think) that there was an exchange of several hundred POW’s each between Ukraine and Russia. The photos didn’t show signs of torture or mistreatment.
My remark was more in general, while there has been torture, right now the POW situation is manageable and abuses are limited, but in a major war of large POW numbers or if Russia totally loses interest in world opinion then I would not like to be facing years of imprisonment as a POW somewhere in Russia.

On the positive side, Zeepers haven’t reported Putin died all year!
What are zeepers gonna do when this stupid business comes to a final end and the abject unconditional surrender of the kleptonazis??

Just my opinion…
NATO wants war with Russia.
They will continue to provoke war, including a horrific false flag.
Zeepers will cheer, automatically blame Russia, and continue to cry out for blood.
The world will be engulfed in a 3-4 front war against a coalition of enemies we forced together and cannot beat.
Not a single Zeeper will serve in Ukraine in uniform.
In short, some Zeepers are not critical thinkers and some are likely paid.
They will never change.
“Russia isn’t really known as a POW-friendly military to surrender to.”
I was on a kick awhile ago listening to old WWII stories. Read from first account biographies. One German soldier recounted stories of being a Russian POW.
IIRC he didn’t leave the slave camp until 1953 or something crazy. The Soviets said his labor was for “reparations”. His sister, most of her kids and his parents died as well in the camps after his town had been taken during the war.
They aren’t a nice nation.

In any case , this is a slow bleed for Russia, it’s been 2 “years of a 2 week war. Lol
If Russia think they will go after Sweden , Poland or other Baltic countries then good luck because it’s all a numbers game
Russia doesn’t have the numbers and will hemorrhage and will eventually fail
Bleed bleed bleed”
Exactly, and that’s why they’re not going to try to attack any other NATO countries like people here are talking about.
This cannot be true. Moscovia troops do not need food or drinking water in the winter - they just eat snow - solving both problems in one go.
