1/ Wounded Russian conscripts and mobilised soldiers are reportedly being handcuffed and tortured in a dilapidated building in Mulino, Nizhny Novogorod, to 'remotivate' them into going back to fight in the war in Ukraine. ⬇️

2/ ASTRA reports that Russia's 272nd Motorised Rifle Regiment has established an illegal prison and torture facility on the grounds of the 47th Division's headquarters. Russia's largest military training facility, where the Russian Ground Forces exercise, is located at Mulino.

3/ According to former detainees, wounded soldiers – mainly conscripts – are "illegally detained and subjected to violence" by military police. They say that men are handcuffed to a radiator and beaten in a former armoury, and kept for days without food, water or toilets.

4/ This has included men wounded in the war, such as a mobilised soldier who lost part of his leg. Detainees are reportedly "not allowed to undergo medical examinations or surgeries and, according to the source, 'are kept like cattle'." At least three had their ribs broken.

5/ An appeal to the Russian authorities names the acting commander of the unit, Captain Bogdan Romanov, as being in charge of the facility. However, the authorities have refused to open a criminal case on the grounds that nobody is being held by force.

6/ A video published by ASTRA shows a man lying on a mattress with his right arm handcuffed to a radiator. He is addressed by the person recording the video, who remarks that it's "not healthy" to be left in the cold and notes that the prisoner has been handcuffed for two days.

7/ The detainees are reportedly being 'encouraged' to return to the war. It's not clear why they were brought to the facility, but they are likely there because they refused to fight. Similar 'remotivation' facilities have been reported at 17 locations in occupied Ukraine.

8/ The reported presence of conscripts is new – such facilities have tended to be used to deal with mobilised soldiers – but it suggests that the Russian army is disciplining some of those who fled the Ukrainian advance in the Kursk region. /end
