Reportedly death squads follow #Russia military convoys with order to kill deserters and all soldiers refusing to execute orders. Putin clearly gets his inspiration from Stalin in WW2 and mixes in a bit of Hitler. #StopPutler
This will now be a 🧵/2: #Russia sends draftees and ‘alternates’ (communal service workers) to #Ukraine. Their job is to distract Ukrainian military as the professional army advances. Boys turned into cannon fodder -this is what it really is
3/ “in less than a month I became a Russian soldier, a war criminal and a prisoner of war” testimony by Russian soldier taken hostage by Ukrainian forces
4/ So important for #Russia soldiers to remember that executing criminal orders is no excuse. This is ground for prosecution in tribunals
5/ Also important for Russian soldiers to remember that THEY came to #Ukraine and in (the earth of) Ukraine they shall lay. Dead. And their Putin won’t even bother picking up their rotting bodies
