A soldier explains that a soldier in his squad has “lost control” and begins to kill other members of the team.

While it was not disclosed who was killed or injured in the incident, it was stated that the attacker was shot.

GUR’s announcement about the alleged killings came weeks after several other reports surfaced describing the harsh conditions of Russian soldiers operating in Ukraine.

In a video posted on social media last week, Russian soldiers announced that they were punished by their commanders for not having equipment for refusing to fight on the Ukrainian front.

War Translated, an independent media outlet that translates war-related information into English, shared a portion of this video on Twitter.

“We are locked in this tomb because we refuse to walk the center line.

We have been sitting here for two days,” said one of the soldiers in the video. One of the soldiers in the video says they won’t be going back to where they said before the “meat grinder” line.

The soldier speaking in the video is one of the 20 soldiers in the video.

One of the harshest accusations against the Russian military came from Russian General Ivan Popov, who said he was fired after criticizing Moscow’s Ministry of Defense for not getting enough support for its soldiers.

In a voice message posted on Telegram on July 12, Popov even accused top military leaders and Russian Prime Minister Sergei Shoigu of treason for lack of support.

As translated by Russian Independent News, Popov said, “The Ukrainian army was unable to break through our lines at the front, but our top leaders attacked us from behind, brutally cutting our soldiers at the most difficult and painful moment.” Export Medusa.
