Russian soldiers caught drinking or violating commands are being forced into "punishment squads" stationed on the front lines of the war in Ukraine, Reuters reported Tuesday.
"Storm fighters ... [are] just meat," one solider deployed near Bakhmut earlier this year said, referring to them by their unit nickname – "Storm-Z." The soldier also said he violated orders from a commander not to give medical treatment to a group of wounded Storm fighters. When it happened, he was confused, but he now thinks it is because they are seen as less valuable.
