Russian soldiers face brutal punishment in Donetsk hospital basement

The war in Ukraine has been ongoing for over two years. There are many reports from the front every day, as well as information on how Russian soldiers treat each other. In the past, it was reported that one soldier had opened fire on 11 of his comrades.

Several days ago, a video was shared showing Russian soldiers hiding in a barn without food in the town of Staromaiorskie, a city in the Donetsk region.

We've been sitting here for a long time. We're like the locals, like a basement dwellers - a frustrated Russian soldier said. - This is war. We managed to get in here, but we can't get out - he added.

Now, another shocking video has surfaced online, also from Donetsk. In the basement of the city psychiatric hospital, soldiers of the Russian 57th Guard Regiment are being held.

Moreover, the "staff" demands $17,500 for their release. The video shows the conditions in which some soldiers are currently living.

We are now in the basement of the psychiatric clinic in Donetsk. Here, soldiers of the 57th regiment are held in unhygienic conditions. See how it is here. There's no water, no toilets, nothing. Once, patients of the hospital were hidden here; now, in their place are soldiers (…) We have wounded and injured soldiers. Everything is locked here - says one of the Russians.

Things are not going well in Vladimir Putin's army. Recently, Russian soldiers tied their "comrades" to trees for drinking. The video showing the entire situation was shared on social media by Ukrainian politician Anton Gerashchenko.

The war in Ukraine has been ongoing for 908 days. According to the General Staff of Ukraine, Putin's army has lost 599,350 soldiers, 8,508 tanks, and 17,056 artillery systems during this time.
