1/ A recent video of a Russian soldier who was handcuffed and beaten in a hospital when he asked for treatment is not an isolated incident, according to Russian milbloggers. They say that soldiers who survive assaults are often mistreated afterwards. ⬇️
2/ The 'Combat Reserve' channel says that "some [commanders] find it easier to reset [kill] a soldier so he doesn't talk, and now in the hospital, it's easier to beat him up for talking too much. They sent him to the battle zone, but he survived. Apparently it was his mistake."
3/ The Russian war veteran Ilya Jansen says on his channel that he has "heard about such cases, but the gods were merciful, it was easier for us, because the authorities were nearby."
4/ "Which did not prevent the head physician of the 5th branch, Vishnevsky, from arranging a fuck-up like jerking off with formations and regulations for the wounded, including the seriously injured, and discharging them to the front without compensation, for being unshaven.
5/ "There is a separate problem that neurosis departments (military madhouses) are used as a punishment cell for troublemakers and simply those who are not liked by the head physicians.
6/ "As a result, a person who really needs help with a cuckoo due to a concussion or something else ends up in a real prison, after which he will need separate rehabilitation from such treatment even upon discharge.
7/ In short, the abscess opens up and lawlessness comes to the surface. Remych [Andrey Removich Belousov, the Minister of Defence] urgently needs to take measures – you can't hide a piece of shit in a bag, and each resonant case will create more and more problems for the army.

1/ The Russian government has finally published a set of standards for protecting fixed structures from the threat of UAVs, two and a half years into a war which has seen numerous Russian sites targeted by Ukrainian attacks. However, it is being seen as mere bureaucracy. ⬇️

2/ The VChK-OGPU Telegram channel has published extracts from a leaked set of standards for "protective enclosing structures against unmanned aerial vehicles". It is the product of joint work by various Russian state corporations, research institutions and ministries.
3/ The document sets out data on types of UAVs (which it divides into "small", "light" and "medium", as well as differentiating between kamikaze drones and those acting as bombers), and calculations of explosive and fragmentation loads.

1/ Russian commanders are throwing away their troops in performative assaults to impress their superiors, according to an angry Russian milblogger. His commentary highlights a persistent contributing factor to Russia's very high casualty figures. ⬇️

2/ Russian commentators have repeatedly described the Russian army's pattern of institutionalised lying, including staged training, fake manpower figures, and false claims of having captured targets, which result in bloody attempts to make the claims real.
3/ The ultranationalist journalist Vladislav Shurygin complained earlier this year that "hundreds of Russian men are driven forward to [their own] slaughter, so that the boss who reports the capture, who has already drilled a hole for the medal on his uniform, can cover his ass!"

1/ Russian conscripts captured by Ukraine in the Kursk region and subsequently freed in prisoner exchanges are being forced to sign military contracts under threat of beatings and prosecutions of themselves and their families, according to relatives. ⬇️
2/ Members of the Russian 488th Mobilised Rifle Regiment were captured en masse by Ukrainian forces in the Kursk region in August 2024. It was reported that they were shot at by Chechen 'barrier troops' trying to prevent their surrender.
3/ Around 100 men from the regiment were captured in a single location, marking one of the biggest surrenders of Russians in the Ukraine war. It seems likely that this has marked them out for punitive treatment when they were returned to Russia.

1/ Recent news that sailors from the Russian aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov have been sent to fight in Ukraine as infantry, due to a shortage of personnel, highlights how Russia has been expending specialists of all kinds to fill gaps. ⬇️
2/ This has been happening for some time – there have been reports of specialists such as UAV operators, artillerymen, nuclear missile troops and even doctors being pressed into service as stormtroopers to participate in frequently bloody assaults.
3/ The Russian milblogger Roman Alekhin blames generals for lying about troop numbers and misleading the high command about the true state of affairs at the front. He says that rather than admit the truth, they are essentially throwing in any specialist they can get hold of.

1/ A Russian cannibal who killed a Tajik migrant, cut out his heart, and videoed himself frying it with vegetables and eating it, has been allowed to go home to recover from injuries received fighting in Ukraine. He is the latest in a series of cannibals to fight in the war. ⬇️ Image
2/ Dmitry Malyshev was one of a group of three friends who, in December 2013, decided to become bandits in their home district in the Volgograd region. They planned to attack police officers and steal their weapons and ammunition for subsequent attacks. Image
3/ The plan did not work because they mistimed their attack on a police patrol. Instead, they shot up two men in a car that came along later, but that didn't work either: the car crashed, rolled, and was too badly damaged to steal. The bodies were not discovered for two weeks.

1/ A high-ranking officer of the Russian aerospace forces (VKS) is reported to have died by suicide in the Moscow region. He is said to have despaired of the bad working conditions and "criminal orders of the commanders" in the VKS Communications Centre. ⬇️ Image
2/ Yuri Annenkov, the head of the 678th Communications Centre of the Aerospace Defense Force, is reported by the VChK-OGPU Telegram channel to have taken his own life at the end of last week in a forest belt in Balashikha, just east of Moscow. Image
3/ The channel reports: "Three empty bottles of vodka and empty pill packages were found next to the body, and at home, relatives found a suicide note in which the commander complains of despair and says goodbye."
