 Russian troops surrendering in whole groups because of inhumane commanders. Entire groups of Russian soldiers are surrendering en masse. Due to the inhuman attitude of their commanders, the Ukrainian military has said the Kiev post informs. According to Oleksandr Shnupun, the spokesman for the Tavria grouping of troops, more and more of Moscow's troops are also snubbing orders to assault Ukrainian positions. Speaking on national TV, he said, it should be noted that whole groups of Russian soldiers are seen surrendering. One of the reasons that the enemy does this is what I'd say is inhuman attitude on the part of their command. For refusing to deploy on pointless assaults or for other offenses, some officers would strip them naked in winter cold and hold them in cold pits, beating them and threatening them with execution. There is plenty of evidence to support Shnupun's claim. Last month, a video emerged showing Russian soldiers being beaten and forced to dig holes in which they were made to stand for hours. And just a video emerged of a group of Russian soldiers in an expletive laden video expressing their outrage at learning they will not be territorial defense soldiers as they thought, but would be assault troops sent to the front with no training. Recorded at an unknown location, a group of men can be seen chanting commanders. The camera then pans to one soldier who launches into a furious tirade. Check this out, he says. We've been here since the 26th. Officers have been lying to our faces that we are territorial defense. Now the Lieutenant Colonel came out and said it's the first time he's heard that. And it turns out we are a rifle unit. We are assault troops. We are not territorial defense. And they just tell us now.
