A disturbing video shows a Russian soldier bound in cling film and hung from a tree while his commander beats him, highlighting ongoing abuse within Russian forces. The footage is part of a pattern of commanders punishing troops for infractions like refusing orders or abandoning missions. The revelations come as GCHQ reports nearly half a million Russian soldiers killed in Ukraine.
A disturbing new video has emerged highlighting the brutality of Putin's army, showing a soldier wrapped in cling film, suspended from a tree and beaten by his commander.
The footage, shared on a Telegram channel, appears to show the serviceman hanging upside down in a forest while a commander repeatedly slaps him across the face. His entire body has been bound in layers of cling film, forming a cocoon-like shell, as he spins helplessly from the tree.
Meanwhile, fellow soldiers can be heard laughing and encouraging the abuse as the suspended man groans in pain. It is unclear what prompted the punishment, but it follows a well-documented pattern of commanders abusing their own troops for infractions including refusing orders, abandoning suicide missions, or even remaining on sick leave for extended periods. The footage is the latest in a wave of similar videos released on social media platforms.
In April, another harrowing clip surfaced, showing a near-naked refusenik soldier being made to eat dirt by his commander. The serviceman, who is wearing only underpants, was thrown in a pit and appeared to have broken ribs. The commander shouted, 'Eat the dirt, you *****!
' and 'Come on, come on. Since you're a dog, go on, have a walk, crawl around on all fours.
' The serviceman pleaded, 'My ribs hurt,' before the commander began to hurl a tirade of insults and threats. He said, '**** your ribs, for ****'s sake! Tomorrow you'll go on a raid with a pancake, you ****ing *****!
' A pancake is a mine which could explode and kill him at any moment. The new video comes as Russia has lost almost half a million soldiers in the war in Ukraine, the head of GCHQ revealed on Wednesday. Anne Keast-Butler disclosed the staggering scale of the military losses as she piled pressure on Putin.
In her inaugural annual lecture, the spy chief said: 'Putin is going backwards on the battlefield with new intelligence showing that almost half a million Russian soldiers have now been killed since the conflict began.
' The figure is far higher than previous estimates of 350,000 deaths, which was calculated earlier this month by the Centre for Strategic and International Studies, a Washington-based think-tank. In March, the Daily Mail compiled a series of graphic videos showing commanders beating and electrocuting their own troops, denying them food, forcing them to crawl through mud, tying them naked to trees in sub-zero temperatures and even making them fight to the death.
Other footage shows injured soldiers on crutches being sent back to the frontline. In separate clips, troops sheltering in Ukrainian dugouts film themselves surviving on stolen potatoes because their own army has not supplied them with food. Commanders are sending their men into so-called 'meat storm' battles, likened to suicide missions, where troops are thrown at Ukrainian positions until they run out of ammunition. Those who flee or refuse orders face brutal punishment.
One video shows two naked men lying in a pit as their commander screams at them and fires bullets into the ground nearby.
'Lay there for a few more days until you understand how to follow orders,' the commander shouts. Another shows two men forced to crawl through mud while commanders kick dirt at them and strike them in the head. The commander is heard yelling 'are you still going to be sick?
' while beating him. One clip shows a middle-aged soldier chained by the neck inside a box while his commander taunts him with food. One video shows half-naked men chained to a tree before being forced to bark like dogs.
'Are you hungry? ' the commander asks, before flinging a plate of meat and bread at his head and pouring water over him. 'Eat, you dog. You're going to die there, you know,' the commander jeers while hitting the man.
Another video shows half-naked men chained to a tree.
'These are our dogs who ran away from us,' a commander is heard saying, 'but we caught them. ' He then forces the two soldiers to bark like dogs before urinating on them. In another clip, reportedly from the 132nd Brigade, two terrified soldiers are duct-taped to a tree. One has a bucket placed over his head, which a commander repeatedly kicks.
The commander shouts 'why did you refuse orders,' while repeatedly hitting the man. He then turns to the other man, an elderly soldier, and says you're going to be shot, before urinating on the younger man. One video shows a middle-aged soldier being beaten while accused of theft. Commanders write 'I'm a thief' across his chest in black marker and force him, dressed like a clown, to dance as they jeer.
In a different disturbing clip, a man screams and writhes on the floor as he is repeatedly electrocuted by laughing soldiers
