Russian soldier captured. He was shot by his own people
The Ukrainian military caught a soldier from Russia in Klischyovka who shared his dramatic story in captivity. He went to the front because his wife was betraying him. But he didn't expect to end up in a real hell. His commanders wrote off their men as losses and sent them on a suicide mission. The Russian almost died, but he was shot by his own people, not Ukrainian soldiers.

Sergey narrowly didn't die on the front in the vicinity of Klishchyivka (Donetsk region), rather, the Armed Forces of Ukraine saved his life. His own commander wanted to kill him because he had disobeyed an order. And if he hadn't ended up in the hands of the AFU, he would've been one of the thousands of Vladimir Putin's soldiers who fell during the "special military operation" in Ukraine.
The Russian captured by Ukrainians shared his dramatic story and it must be admitted, it simply sends chills down your spine. He joined the army because his wife was betraying him. His two little daughters ended up in an orphanage, but the real hell was yet to come. In the military, it was supposed to be better, yet he was almost killed by his own commander.
How many such stories are there in the Russian military? Probably a lot. A prisoner told his story to the Ukrainian army, and it was published online by Anton Herashchenko.
We listen with dread to the story of a Russian soldier who introduced himself as Sergei. He ended up in the hands of Ukrainians near Klishchiivka in the Donetsk region, and it's fair to say they saved his life. Why? Because his own commander wanted to murder him for standing up to him. It was about the Russians' brutal tactics.
How did the Russian end up in the army at all? It was an impulse. His wife betrayed him, with whom he got a divorce. And the day after he signed a contract with the army - we learn from the recording published on Twitter. In the meantime, he found out that his two little daughters are in an orphanage, his partner didn't want to take care of them. He didn't expect the nightmare he encountered in the "second world army" at all.
The commanders joked that they would get new soldiers, and just send the others to their death, as they have been doing for several months. They show no regard for their lives, they are just to carry out the orders and that's it. He almost became a victim of his own comrades, because they mistook targets and attacked an ally. And then it turned out that he was beaten. By his own superiors.
To make matters worse, the pay was not as high as Vladimir Putin had promised. The army tempts with earnings of around 2300 dollars, but the soldier receives about 1900 dollars net. And that's if they survive. Which is an incredibly difficult task.
"Meat waves" and the cruel tactics of Russians during the war
According to estimates published by the Armed Forces of Ukraine since the beginning of the war, over 295,000 of Vladimir Putin's army soldiers have already died on the front. Losses in recent weeks are rapidly increasing because the command has adopted a tactic from both World War I and II. It sends so-called "meat waves," which means subsequent soldiers.
They don't have a chance of succeeding, but their mission is to grind down the Ukrainian defense and exhaust it to the limit. "Meat waves" mean high casualties, but as a Russian prisoner spoke, it's no hassle for the command. Other "mobsters" will come to take the place of some, and the goal on the battlefield is to be achieved at any cost. Period.
Mobilization began in Russia in early October for this very purpose. And there will be more, because Vladimir Putin's commanders want to win this war. Regardless of everything. A year ago, this tactic did not work in Bachmut, it is now being implemented for example in the vicinity of Avdiivka, where very heavy fighting is ongoing.
