Russian soldiers have said they are committing suicide or deserting rather than face certain death after being given faulty ammunition and weapons to attack Ukrainian forces with.
Soldiers from the 1,442nd regiment, who are fighting near the occupied Ukrainian village of Klishchiivka near Bakhmut, said in a video they are now fleeing and disobeying an order to form an assault group as it would mean 'guaranteed death'.
They highlighted the brutal horror of the frontlines, saying they face slaughter at the hands of Ukraine if they attack them with dud weapons and ammunition but also from Vladimir Putin's death squads if they retreat.
The Russian soldiers said the situation has become so bad that some men are committing suicide before being sent to fight again.
The soldiers warned their wives and girlfriend that their decision to flee will mean they will likely meet those death squads whose job is to shoot dead any deserters.
