OH BOY...now Putin is employing Stalin's methods of keeping Russian troops in line...

A captured Russian soldier spoke about the use of "execution squads" to eliminate deserters as tensions within the Russian military rise, Interfax-Ukraine reported on Saturday. ...

"However, this does not save him from the riots that have already begun to arise among the Russian military." Another captured soldier has said during questioning conducted by the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) according to Interfax.

Several questioned soldiers have said that "army leadership has resumed the practice of 'execution squads' - echelons that follow the main forces of the Russian Federation and kill those who want to escape,", just like Soviet Union's commissar squads, the SBU said in a message posted on Telegram Saturday.

The SBU has stated that according to the captured soldiers they have questioned, as the Russian Federation soldiers moved deeper into Ukraine, they began to realize that they were far from being on a peacekeeping mission as they were first told.

"But they made very clear that we can't desert or try to run, because echelons are coming after us, killing deserters who are trying to return to Russia," the soldier said.

"Now, having become accomplices in crimes, the soldiers regret that they did not have the courage to act like the marines of the Russian Federation... near Odesa, 600 marines rebelled and refused to leave their ship, because they understood what was happening."

"The army of the Russian Federation is demoralized and suppressed. ...


 
Did someone say commissar?

 
Whilst garbage Fake News is the name of every game these days , this report is about as amateur and silly as you could imagine .

Not one single statement that could be called 'factual' and therefore capable of being checked ..

It might convince the very gullible and naive but it is so amateur .

At least the fake fighter super- pilot nonsense --- The Ghost of Kyiv-- was funny .

Hitler had the Gestapo. Putzin has the Commissar.
