It is no secret that the Russian armed forces are merciless against their opponents. As a video on Twitter now shows, the tough measures are also being applied in our own ranks.

Accordingly, Russian soldiers are said to have been beaten up by their own comrades and then thrown into a muddy pit. The reason: they had previously approved a few beers.

“My comrades all have bruised faces”

In a video posted by Ukrainian politician Anton Gerashenko, 44, Gorelov told Pavel Nikolayevich, a stricken soldier, about the brutal behavior of his comrades.

After his comrades had allowed themselves a few beers, the military police appeared, beat them up and then put them in the pit. “My comrades all have bruised faces,” said Nikolaevich. The recordings show how badly the men are doing: their faces are bloodied and swollen.

The conditions in the ditch are unacceptable. “We’re in the mud, in the rain. We’re all wet.” The pit is deep and there are bars at the top. As the soldier goes on to report, they are held there for three days – without food or drink. There would also be no toilet: “We have to use these empty bottles,” says Nikolaevich.

Despite the torment, they continue to fight at the front

The incident happened in the reconnaissance company of the 99th regiment. Nikolayevich wanted to use the video to publicize the grievances in the company. Geraschenko’s contribution does not indicate exactly when the video was recorded.

The soldier can hardly believe what happened to them. “We are at the front and under constant fire. And we are being tortured in this way.” Despite the pain they endured in the pit, surrendering is not an option for the soldiers. “We are not giving up, we are ready to continue serving, but this has to stop,” said Nikolaevich .(dzc)
