An article published by independent Russian outlet Verstka alleges that commanders in multiple Russian units on the Ukrainian front are carrying out summary executions of their own soldiers or forcing them into “suicide” assaults if they refuse orders, a practice troops themselves call “nullification” and “execution by attack”. Verstka’s investigation compiles testimonies from soldiers and relatives, as well as complaints sent to Russia’s Main Military Prosecutor’s Office; it describes cases where men who declined to join assaults were shot at point-blank range in their own trenches or sent forward without armor or weapons under threat from blocking detachments behind them, United 24 media outlet says. “From the very start of the full-scale invasion by 2025, executions and torture have become more sophisticated,” the reporters write, citing troops who say commanders “get rid of” unwanted men by ordering “meat assaults” that few survive. “There, you never know who will shoot you—your own or the Ukrainians,” one serviceman is quoted as saying. Specific allegations in the report include a commander who kept “a specially trained person for ‘nullification’,” described by a mobilized soldier named Aleksei: during assaults, that subordinate was tasked to “lift ten men and send them forward,” and if anyone refused after seeing the conditions, “he shot them point-blank with an automatic rifle,” after which bodies were dumped in the Siverskyi Donets River or buried nearby, the outlet reports. Ukrainian intelligence and independent media have repeatedly publicized intercepted calls and field reports describing the revival of “barrier troops,” units that block retreats with lethal force. In June 2025, Kyiv Post reported an intercept in which Russian soldiers discussed recruiters “coming to us” to enlist men for barrier units—a World War II–era tactic—with one participant responding that such recruiters were “total… scumbags” who “should be shot right away.”s http://youtube.com/kanal13az/join - click here and support Kanal13 monthly for distributing more videos and independent journalism http://t.me/kanal13tv & https://bit.ly/37BVMqU https://www.youtube.com/user/kanal13az?sub_confirmation=1 https://bit.ly/2Rs6MB3 #lastminutenewsfromukraine #kanal13ukraine https://bit.ly/2V19Fdy Click here and just subscribe to Kanal13 - https://www.youtube.com/user/kanal13az?sub_confirmation=1 https://www.youtube.com/KANAL13AZ/join *ATTENTION: If you woul like to contact with US please, write to +49176 75077516 WhatsApp ▌▌►Website: http://kanal13.tv/ http://www.facebook.com/tvkanal13 https://twitter.com/Kanal13Az https://www.instagram.com/kanal13.az Click & Subscribe to the main youtube Channel © KANAL13 [ Azərbaycanın ilk peşəkar internet televiziyası ] The First Internet TV of Azerbaijan Tags: #Ukriane, #Russia, #Putin, #Putler, #Russian invasion of Ukraine, #Zelenski, #Kiev, #Kyiv, #Kadirov army, #Kadirov, #Kherson, #Bucha, #Kharkiv, #Ukrainian pilots, #vagners, #Russian tanks, #NATO, #drones, #Moscow, #Kreml, #war victims #Ukraina, News, The Washington Post, waPo Video, Washington Post Video, Washington Post YouTube, a:politics, aid, biden, putin, s:Politics, support, t:Other, Ukraine, war, fact check, news coverage, Donald Trump, news, wp video, forbes, nytimes, newspaper, media, journalism, Ilham Aliyev, Baku, Azerbaijan, Israel, Gaza, Palestine, Tel-Aviv, Garabag, Karabakh, football, ronaldo, messi, brian tyler cohen
