The Russians had virtually no ammunition and some even had to share one assault rifle between two.
VIDEO: Ukraine: Russian soldiers appear to 'surrender'
Russian troops killed their commander after he tried to stop them from surrendering to Ukraine's army, it has been reported. The soldiers were part of the recently mobilised reserve and had just arrived at the front. Vladimir Putin's army has suffered a series of humiliating defeats on the battlefield in recent weeks.
Ukraine's army has made spectacular advances in the northeast, east and south of the country as they continue their counteroffensive on a number of fronts.
The military setbacks have forced the Kremlin to shake up their military command yet again and introduce a nationwide "partial" mobilisation.
Russia's Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu announced in September a draft of 300,000 reservists to help boost frontline troops fighting in Ukraine.
The announcement led to a mass exodus of Russian men from the country, as they sought to escape the call-up.
Those unable to flee were forced to report for duty at military enlistment offices.
Ukraine's military launched a hotline called "I want to live", encouraging conscripted Russians to get in touch and promising them safety and humane treatment if they surrendered.
Russia has been warned it is in "big trouble" with the war in Ukraine, as Vladimir Putin's battlefield plan is torn apart by a veteran British Army commanding officer.
The Russian Army has suffered a series of huge setbacks in recent months, and found itself pushed back out of key territories thanks to heroic counteroffensive operations from Ukrainian troops.
Now a group of Russian soldiers appear to have responded to the offer in a bid to avoid the slaughter at the front.
The men were sent to a hotspot within days of being called-up without either adequate training nor proper equipment.
The Russians had virtually no ammunition and some even had to share one assault rifle between two.
They were told in no uncertain circumstances by their commander that they would be shot if they attempted to retreat.
Realizing the hopelessness of their situation, the soldiers secretly contacted Ukraine's army via the hotline and agreed to surrender.
When the time came to lay down their arms, they shot their commander and handed themselves in.
Ukraine's special forces told Channel 24: "A group of mobilised men, by prior arrangement, went out into the square indicated by our fighters.
"They had no ammunition, so they only gave us their weapons.
"They received medical assistance, because everyone was sick. They received food and were satisfied.
"They will go to the camp after interrogations. They'll be safe."
Reports emerged on Friday that Putin's military recruiters were rounding up men on the streets and from their apartments in both Moscow and Saint Petersburg.

“ The Russians had virtually no ammunition and some even had to share one assault rifle between two.”
******************************************************
On average, Ukrainians have to share one assault rifle and two rounds of ammunition between three of their conscripts. This must be true because you’re reading about it here on the internet. /sarc
o.k.
Still waiting for her to spam out more BS via FR MAIL to various accounts throughout FR.....
It's become pathetic.
It's as if FreeRepublic has its own little "Jan 6 Committee"-like corner dedicated to Ukraine/DeepStateCabal propaganda.
I believe little of what I read about this war. However, Russia has done this sort of thing before. It’s not unbelievable.
But I take it with a huge grain of salt.
Nobody goes to war with the army they want. But having to make do with the army he has, is leaving Vladimir Putin in something of a bind.
And no, nuclear tactical strikes are not a substitute for boots on the ground for securing territory. Boots that seem to be particularly reluctant to tread on the territory which is to be occupied.
The overdosed on the Viagra they were given to make them rape farm animals.

Funny.
Very few movies have end credits and summations that are worth an audience response in the theater and at home.
And tiresome. I wish they’d be limited to maybe two threads a day.
That way, they could all fawn all over each other and leave the rest of us to real articles.
They really do stink up the news feed. And as long as they do, I’m going to keep calling them out on it. I’ve discovered that *really* chaps their little hides. 😁
Meanwhile, the sovereign Russian Federation has officially added territory, and will keep it. There is nothing the West can do about it.
Not hard to outsmart a senile old man, or a bunch of woke, left wing, socialist EU “ leaders”.
My money goes on Vlad. He keeps on checkmating the West in every sector.
“ On September 24th, here on FR, I made this prediction:
“In the upcoming weeks, you’re going to see many stories in the US/UK media that claim Russian morale has collapsed and Putin’s army is on the verge of mutiny.”
https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4095716/posts
Your propaganda campaign has become too predictable!”
Even if true, that does not mean that the Russian morale has not collapsed and that mutiny is not a concern. That possibility surely does exist. And it wouldn’t be surprising, considering the fact that Russia’s military members aren’t treated particularly well and things haven’t gone so well for them on the battlefield.
Poootin the pathetic idiot. Which would be OK if he were not sending young and old men off to die in his Putin meat grinder.
