Russians are known for their cruelty toward Ukrainian soldiers as well as innocent civilians. As it turns out, they are also very cruel to each other. Journalists conducted an investigation, revealing that Kremlin soldiers kill their comrades using horrific methods without any scruples.

The war in Ukraine has been ongoing for over two years. A lot of information emerges from the front every day, including reports on how Russian soldiers treat each other. It was reported that one serviceman opened fire on 11 of his colleagues. He killed six of them and seriously injured the rest. All this happened under the influence of alcohol.

A very similar situation occurred among Chechen fighters. They opened fire on each other after an argument fueled by alcohol, resulting in the deaths of 11 people, including four Russian soldiers and seven civilians.

At the beginning of the war, the media also reported clashes between soldiers occupying Ukraine. These conflicts often involved the division of spoils. Buryat and Chechen soldiers shot at each other, involving a total of about 50 people.

This time, the Belarusian independent channel Nexta interviewed journalist Alla Sadovnik from "Suspline." Her team's investigation reveals that Russian commanders torture and kill their subordinate soldiers who refuse to carry out criminal orders.

Methods of killing Russians: cruelty knows no bounds

The methods of killing among Russian soldiers are extremely cruel. Journalists learned that Russian soldiers can be locked in basements, tortured for several days, and then, if they are lucky, shot; if not, they may be blown up with grenades. Afterward, the bodies are burned to cover up the crimes, as Alla Sadovnik tells journalists.

The investigation also reveals that these measures aim to maintain discipline and intimidate soldiers. These facts show the harsh measures the Russian army took to control soldiers.
