1/ Russian soldiers are reported to be causing chaos in military hospitals, threatening to blow themselves up with grenades, attacking and attempting to rape other patients, robbing patients, drinking, starting fights and calling prostitutes to their wards. ⬇️ Image
2/ The VChK-OGPU Telegram channel reports on a series of cases in which hospitals have been seriously disrupted by misbehaving soldiers. The situation is reported to be deteriorating, as hospitals are overflowing with thousands of wounded men evacuated from Ukraine.
3/ In one of the most dramatic incidents, a military hospital near Solnechnogorsk near Moscow had to be stormed by security forces after a soldier threatened to detonate three grenades he had smuggled in. Hospitals across the region will now be searched for hidden weapons.
4/ The same hospital was also the site of a soldier's attempted murder of another man. The victim, a contract soldier called Sergei Bankin (pictured), was stabbed by a convicted criminal turned soldier named Yevgeny Shevtsov who had a grudge against Bankin. Image
5/ Shevtsov is said to have come to Bankin's ward in the middle of the night and stabbed him while he was sleeping, causing serious injuries. Bankin had to have a damaged organ removed and is in a serious condition. Shevtsov is being sent back to the front lines.
6/ Civilians are also at risk, as wounded soldiers are also being treated in civilian hospitals. 31-year-old Alexander Ivanov, another soldier with multiple criminal convictions, was sent to a hospital for war veterans in Zhilino, which treats civilians as well. Image
7/ After 'cleaning out' at least four wards, stealing money and phones from patients, Ivanov attempted to rape an elderly woman on ward 303. He stripped and beat her before fleeing from the hospital. Police eventually caught him and handed him over to the military authorities.
8/ Soldiers at the same hospital are also reported to have called prostitutes to their wards. VChK-OGPU reports that "a woman with severe alcohol poisoning, who came to the servicemen on call, was recently urgently evacuated from the hospital in Zhilino." /end

1/ Russian commanders are said to be using FPV drones to attack their own soldiers if they fall back from assaults on Ukrainian positions. It's a modern equivalent of the Stalin-era 'blocking detachments' which shot Soviet soldiers who attempted to retreat. ⬇️ Image
2/ Pavel Abrosimov, an ex-convict from Volgograd who is now serving as a stormtrooper, has posted a video via his relatives in which he complains about the behaviour of the leadership of the 33rd Motorised Rifle Regiment (military unit 82717).
3/ He says that after suffering an injury in which his left arm was rendered useless, he was treated in hospital at the end of December 2024, was assigned to fitness category 'G' (temporarily unfit) and was ordered to take 30 days of sick leave.

1/ Unarmed, injured Russian soldiers are being used as "meat probes" to "trample mines" with their feet, according to a man who has recorded a video appealing for help. His commander tells the wounded: "You are not needed, cripples! Go and die." ⬇️ Image
2/ 52-year-old Private Alexander Alekseevich Konev, serving with the 3rd battalion of the 1008th Motorized Rifle Regiment (military unit 29297), says that despite having a medical exemption from service due to sickness or injury, his commander intends to send him to an assault.
3/ Konev is currently at a training ground awaiting a consultation with a neurologist and a military-medical commission. Although he does not say what is wrong with him, the neurology appointment suggests a head or traumatic brain injury.

1/ Increasing numbers of Russian military policemen (VPs) are reportedly being deployed as assault troops, due to a shortage of manpower along the front lines in Ukraine. The news is being greeted with glee by Russian warbloggers, who detest the corrupt and often brutal VPs. ⬇️ Image
2/ The Russian Telegram channel 'Fox and Raven' reports:

"Across the entire front, there is a clear trend of gradually sending military police into assaults. There are fewer and fewer people in all directions."
3/ "Apparently, the flow of people wishing to sign a contract is not as large as we would like."

Russian warblogger Vladimir Romanov responds with undisguised satisfaction:

"I've never met more daring, charged fighters (and the closer to the rear – the more charged)."

1/ Very unhappy Russian troops along the Dnipro river in the Kherson region say they are living in terrible conditions, eating nettles, drinking water from shellholes, and living under constant threat from Ukrainian drones which have cut off their supplies of food and water. ⬇️
2/ The difficulties facing the Russians along the Dnipro have previously been highlighted by soldiers complaining that they are being sent to their deaths in futile attempts to seize swampy islands in the Dnipro delta.
3/ In a recently published video, a soldier from an unidentified unit shows a plastic bottle of filthy water that is all he has to drink in his riverside position and complains:

"Problems with water, with food, fuck it, problems with everything, fuck!"

1/ Russia's push to capture Pokrovsk is still being seriously hampered by Ukrainian drones, which are causing major problems for Russian logistics and supplies. Vehicles are unable to reach within 10 km of the front line because of the constant threat of drone attacks. ⬇️ Image
2/ A Russian soldier on the ground writes to the 'Philologist in ambush' Telegram channel about the situation on the front line south of Pokrovsk:

"Everything hasn't changed much, we're still butting heads in the same places. Image
3/ "Novovasylivka is still behind us, there are head-on battles in Uspenivka, sometimes the faggots will take it, sometimes we'll recapture it, in principle, it's more behind us, but it's more of a gray area.

1/ A paedophile who committed murder, theft, robbery and rape, and served four prison sentences before joining the Russian army to fight in Ukraine, has been arrested for raping and murdering a 13-year-old girl while on leave in Russia. ⬇️ Image
2/ 13-year-old Violetta Smirnova went missing on 21 March in the Tver region of Russia. After an intensive search, her body was found in a forest area eight days later, 11 km from her home village of Ryazanovo. She had been raped and strangled with a belt.
3/ Investigators soon afterwards arrested 34-year-old Aleksandr Sergeev from the nearby Firovsky District. He had given the girl a ride after she missed her bus to school, but instead took her into a forest and killed her.
