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.
Just watched it again. It holds up really well.
This is a war filled with propaganda on both sides.
Have you ever noticed, there are no stories by embedded U.S. journalists on the ground?
Believe what you want to believe — there’s plenty of propaganda to fill your wishing well.
I rely totally on daily maps of territory held. I haven’t seen much territory held by Ukrainians.
My opinion — Russia controls the skies, Odessa will become Russian territory if Zelensky doesn’t beg for peace.
“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. “
A legend in yer own mind. Check out my Russian Viagra for rapes thread>>> https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4100805/posts
You can chap Putin’s hide there.
LOL. Nothing says “sovereign nation” like having an El Presidente for life. That’s a tin pot dictatorship.
Every time one of you ankle-nippers gets all pissed off at my posts, an angel gets its wings. 😊
You’re getting flak because you are over the target. Keep up the good posts and pay no attention to the Putinist nutbags.
My money goes on Vlad. He keeps on checkmating the West in every sector.
——
Before the war cheerleaders spout, viewed strictly from the outside, like a sports game, it is obvious the West has nothing, no qualified players, no talent, no skill, leadership consisting of woman, children, senile old men, and socialists, not a good line up as we are witnessing.
Vlad wins.
The overdosed on the Viagra they were given to make them rape farm animals.
= = =
Look for an increase in cattle-human, goat-human, dog-human, pig-human offspring to volunteer for Military Duty.
There’s a lot of propaganda but it’s clear that Ukraine is winning. But they are paying a price for it. How many of their troops have died? 100,000 dead? 150,000 dead? We are not talking about dead civilians.
I accept your opinion.
Yet, please remember Grey Zone is a questionable far-left biased source with promotion of propaganda, conspiracy theories, and consistent one-sided reporting.
I speed skim past yer pontificating. Next!
Although you request additional freepmail, I will not follow your directive in Comment 2.
ok
Have you no shame?
[don’t answer that, I already know it]
“Nobody goes to war”
Putin did EXACTLY that with his “Special Military Operation” invasion of Ukraine. This would all be over if Putin withdrew.
