Ukrainian intelligence obtains evidence of firing squads being formed in Russian army
Ukrinform
Ukrainian intelligence has intercepted and deciphered audio recordings from Russian troops, revealing plans to form firing squads within their own army
This was reported by the Ukrainian Defense Ministry's Main Intelligence Directorate (HUR), which released the corresponding audio recordings, according to Ukrinform.
According to one intercepted message, a Russian soldier claimed that he and his comrades were offered the chance to join such a unit but refused.
The HUR noted that in situations where Russian commanders are unable to maintain discipline or hold positions, they resort to coercive tactics—forcing soldiers into so-called “meat assaults” under threat of execution.
As previously reported by Ukrinform, Ukrainian intelligence intercepted communications indicating that Russian forces have been placing firing positions near civilian homes.
