Not starting today Ukraine showed that their opponent’s morale was very low, so it was no wonder that the Russian commanders feared desertion in their ranks. For this reason, in Putin’s army – according to Ukraine – there is a so-called barrier army. They had to resist attempts to escape from the front.

Conversation Russia with his wife published in the official profile of the Security Service of Ukraine. At the beginning of the recording, there is information about the mobilized prisoners being used on the front of the front. – They brought zec to us from prison said his favorite soldier. This was, of course, a squad made up of criminals. – They lead them somewhere forward, and we sit as a barrier army: if one of them runs backwards – we will kill – he explained.

It turned out that the intercepted soldiers were in a very similar situation to the mobilized prisoners. He also had a detachment behind him which ensured that no one up front tried to escape their position. – Also there is no turning back, escape is not real, they will shoot you – the Russian told his wife.

During the conversation, the soldier also complained to his lover about the conditions ahead. As he said – there was a shortage of food and there were “a lot of corpses” around.

The woman told her chosen one that her attempts to influence the authorities and withdraw her from the front line had no effect.

The Russians shot themselves? Historians remember the days of World War II
