VLADIMIR Putin is facing a catastrophic collapse in army morale, after reports emerged of Russian soldiers turning their guns on their Chechen comrades.
Furthermore, Russian officers are alleged to have gone on strike and are refusing to carry out orders in protest at their conditions and the war. Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov is a close ally of the Russian despot and has been a strong supporter of Putin's war in Ukraine. He has sent his militias, known as the "Kadyrovtsy", to help bolster Russian forces in their invasion.

There is nothing wrong with shooting mad dog Muslim Chechens.
ARTICLE ADDENDUM:
“All work is sabotaged, all orders from superiors are put on brakes.”
Russia claimed that parts of an oil terminal and adjacent territory in the Bryansk region came under artillery fire on Saturday.
Alexander Bogomaz, the region’s governor, told the Russian media outlet RIA that there were no “victims”.
The city of Bryansk is located less than 100 miles from the border with Ukraine.
Last week, large fires broke out at two oil depots in the city. Military analyst Rob Lee said that the fire was “probably” a result of Ukrainian sabotage.
I thought the Chechens and the Wagner Group were gonna wipe out Ukraine in the first week.
Then somebody said Russia was waiting to send in the “varsity”.
What was reputed to be Alabama vs. Mercer looks more like Akron vs Ball State....
Another possibility is that if these are military reserves, the officers in charge have been stealing and selling fuel. A fire blamed on “Ukrainian sabotage” then becomes very convenient.
I guess diversity is failing this particular stress test.
Agreed. The russians are using them as fodder and killing the survivors. Not a bad use of muslim resources, really.
“There is nothing wrong with shooting mad dog Muslim Chechens.”
I agree.
But the story about Russian officers and soldiers going on strike? That doesn’t pass the smell test (though it would be great if it were true!).
Remember this one:

Russian Army Days Away From Running Out of Resources, Military Experts Say

Good point!
Buryat soldiers are Mongolian.
That’s what happens when you ally with Chechens… always expect those filthy muzzie savages to turn on you. Looks like Putin’s grand plan is going to crap out like physical presence on earth.
I fail to see the problem.
Every single of the above premises is false. The rule of thumb is when you hear something that outrageous as happening within the Russian troops then something similar is happening in the Ukrainian army.
The torture of POWs by the Russians? No evidence so far but there are videos of Ukrainians doing it.
Bucha massacre? The only evidence in the Ukrainian unit entering Bucha shooting everyone left and right and filming itself while at it, then most of the dead in the mass graves are dead to the elements of the Ukrainian submunitions.
Syrian mercenaries in the Russian army? No evidence whatsoever, but there are Syrian turkomans and Libyan dead among the Ukrainian casualties.
The list goes on.
The more Ukraine is losing, the more desperate they are in pushing out the propaganda. Things must not be going very well for them apparently.
“’F*****g cowards’ Russian officer shoots OWN troops as army morale on brink of collapse”
A RUSSIAN army officer admitted he has been forced to shoot at his troops to try and force them to fight, as morale among frontline troops appears to be on the brink of collapse.

The soldier also said fellow officers were is state of “panic” and just wanted the war “to end”. Russian forces have been fighting for over two months in Ukraine, as Vladimir Putin’s ill-judged military campaign drags on with no end in sight. Putin’s army has encountered fierce resistance from their Ukrainian opponents, who have inflicted heavy losses on the invaders.
Recent estimates suggest the Russian army may have lost over 20,000 soldiers since hostilities began towards the end of February.
Exhausted soldiers are now being pressed into a new Kremlin offensive in Ukraine’s eastern territories, as Putin eyes capturing the entire Donbas region.
However, troop morale appears to have hit rock bottom with soldiers increasingly refusing to fight.
A recently intercepted telephone conversation between a Russian officer and his wife revealed the desperation of Putin’s frontline commanders as they try to motivate their soldiers.
The officer said: “My soldiers don’t want to fight. I even shoot them - but it’s no use.”
The commander reserved his sharpest criticism for the new recruits being sent by the Kremlin to the trenches.
Noting that around 60 had arrived, he continued: “F*g loads of them are cowards, alarmists. The problems are with them.”
Putin and his generals have been desperately trying to bolster troop numbers to compensate for the number of dead and injured.
The Russian president signed a decree ordering 134,500 new conscripts into the army as part of Russia’s annual spring draft in March.
Security analysts also suspect the Russian despot may use the forthcoming Victory Day celebrations on May 9 to issue a general mobilization throughout the country.
The Russian soldier told his wife that disillusionment among the rank and file had spread to the officers as well.
Exactly what happened in WW1 when Russian troops refused to fight for the Czar. Of course, it was the bolsheviks urging them to do that, to jump start their revolution.
A lot of Russians still remember the Beslan School Massacre that was committed by Muslim Chechens.
I could see them being a bit ... unfriendly.
This is a twofer for the Russian Army, the Chechens are put in the front of the meat grinder, and they are no longer able to go back home and make more mischief for the Russian Federation.
Like throwing two pit bulls in the ring after goading them to a fury by jabbing them with sharp instruments and kicking them. Just a blood sport for the Russians.
