Social networks and messengers are currently flooded with messages from servicemen of the Russian occupation forces. They (and their relatives) talk about what is really happening in the “second army of the world”, how the regime creates “heroes” just for TV, and about humiliation – both in service and in the rear. And even (unheard of) they began to call Putin a “fraudster of trust.”
More details about this can be found in the material on OBOZ.UA.
To hide crimes or “just” have fun
One of the most common crimes in the ranks of the ROV is the abuse of soldiers by commanders (or at their behest). And we are not talking about verbal abuse, no one pays attention to that, but about beatings and torture. There are many facts.
For example, a serviceman of the 242nd Motorized Rifle Regiment, wiping away tears, reported that he had been beaten for a week. In addition, he was shot in the leg. He named the occupiers involved with the call signs “Aztek”, “Hasan” and “Angel”.
The reason for such “close attention” to him was that he reported their involvement in the deaths of other servicemen: “I have information on them in my phone, which they took from me. They made me record a voicemail that I, well, screwed them. I say, I didn’t screw them, I say: you killed the boys .”
Whether it was a “zeroing” is unknown, but this has long been a common practice in the Russian army. They kill their own people: those who refuse to go on an assault, or, for example, do not want to pay tribute to their commanders.
A separate category is the so-called ” gladiator fights”. In the occupying forces, this became one of the commanders’ favorite pastimes.
There have already been many videos in which commanders, humiliating and insulting their subordinates, order them to “fight with their fists” to find out who will join the squad. They force them to fight to the death for the right to get out of the pit alive, where they were put, for example, for refusing to fight.
They wanted big money – they got a boomerang
In the Russian army, it has become common practice to send soldiers to assaults, even if you were injured and actually became disabled. At the same time, they use a scheme: despite medical documents, they enroll those who have voluntarily left the unit (place of service). This immediately leads to an automatic announcement on the wanted list – you can’t hide, as well as a quick dispatch to the front. Interestingly, this most often happens with contract soldiers who voluntarily went to kill Ukrainians. They wanted big money – they got a boomerang.
This, for example, happened to war criminal Denis Domenko from the Rostov region of the Russian Federation . He signed a contract in February 2025, and in August he received multiple shrapnel wounds. He managed to survive, but as a result of operations, he lost part of the bones of his skull, and the shrapnel in his head still remains.
Despite this, in November he was declared a fugitive from justice – even though he had a leave of absence and a fitness category of “B” with a red stamp. A search group came to visit his sister in Rostov.
On March 5, the military investigation department demanded that Domenko be urgently sent to the VLK, but on March 13, he was taken from the reserve and sent to Avdiivka. They mockingly said that he would pass there. And on March 15, he was already sent to the front line.
Often, the mothers and wives of the occupiers talk about the consequences of trying to “achieve justice” on social networks.
A very interesting and revealing story of Maxim Khudyakov ( serves in the 239th tank regiment). His wife recorded a video and shared the “horrors”. In May 2024, he was wounded, after which in July he underwent a complex operation to remove a fragment from under the heart and underwent rehabilitation. And in November of the same year he was again sent to the combat zone in Ukraine, where he received a second wound. After a military medical commission, he was given a leave of absence for health reasons, all documents were sent to the unit.
In September 2025, while leaving the hospital, he was detained by military police officers. And, in a harsh way: both he and his wife got it. And all this in the presence of their disabled child (but who pays attention to such a trifle?)
After submitting documents to the Military Investigative Committee, the status of the occupier was revoked. But in the military hospital he was assigned… a fitness category “A”, despite the operations he had undergone and the treatment that was ongoing. It should be noted that this is the highest degree of fitness for military service in the Russian Federation, which means the absence of serious health problems. Holders of category “A” can serve in any troops, including the Airborne Forces, Special Forces, Marines, etc.
In January 2026, Khudyakov underwent another operation, and during the examination, injuries were found to have arisen as a result of beatings by military police. Despite the occupier’s wife’s claims of “indiscriminate treatment,” the Investigative Committee sent a reply: they say, no one beat anyone.
And now the occupant’s family has started receiving threats from the company commander, in particular, regarding the use of physical force, as well as demands to report to the unit. Together with the disabled child, they are sitting at home and not going anywhere – they are afraid.
Now the wife of a war criminal… is begging for the situation to be made public and is appealing to various authorities to ensure the safety of her family.
Otherwise, you can’t call it the law of karma.
“Elite bastards, shit”
A video of “SVO veteran” Alexander Lunin went viral in the Russian segment of Telegram. He recorded an emotional video message after receiving a social payment in the amount of 4,838 rubles (at the average bank rate, this is up to 1,500 UAH).
The murderer complains that the amount of compensation received for lost health causes particular indignation against the backdrop of official rhetoric that “participants of the SVO are the elite of society.”
At the same time, Russian officials receive much greater material support from the state, unlike the “liberators” who returned from the front. “And officials earn 500 (thousand) per month! Who among us is the elite?! ” – the occupier shouts indignantly.
Lunin also told what the war and the injuries he received turned out to be for him: “My eyes are wide open, one eye is squinting. There is no scalp on my head, the concussions are just fucking awful. You see, I gave my health there, I gave my psyche!!!”
Another “hero of the SVO” Maksym Shumar, who has been brought to justice, has even turned to the military prosecutor’s office: he accuses Vladimir Putin of deceiving the military servicemen of the ROV by changing laws “retroactively”: “I officially declare: Putin is a fraud in trust. His decrees are worth less than the paper they are printed on!”
The reason for such accusations was the situation with the payment of compensations, pensions for long service. According to the occupier, the established order was changed in June 2024, depriving many wounded of the promised money: “In 2023, you said: sign contracts, we will pay. And then a decree is issued that cancels the rights of those who have already shed blood. Did you lure people with promises, and then abandon them?”
He is also outraged that, against the backdrop of the problems of “veterans”, the authorities are more willing to help migrants than their own citizens: “At the same time, we pay pensions to Tajikistan, and the authorities no longer need a Russian man with an injury.”
He also stated that the regime creates “heroes” only for television, while “ignoring real people with their problems and needs.”
It’s surprising that the war criminal only realized this now. After all, Russian invaders who lost their health in the war have long been treated as used material.
Meanwhile, the authorities have also encroached on the “holy.” For example, in the Irkutsk region, they decided to sharply reduce funeral and injury payments.
The family of an occupier killed in the war in Ukraine will be paid 500,000 rubles (equivalent to 150,000 UAH) from the regional budget, instead of 1.4 million (420,000 UAH). The regional payment for injuries will be reduced from 300-600,000 (90-180,000 UAH) to 60-120,000 rubles (18-36,000 UAH).
The local authorities explained that “the decision was not approved spontaneously, but was dictated by the need to balance the budget in conditions of limited financial resources.”
That is, there are so many dead occupiers that the budget is bursting at the seams. And soon they plan to make similar decisions in other regions of the Russian Federation.
Is everything going according to plan?
“Whether it was a “zeroing” is unknown, but this has long been a common practice in the Russian army. They kill their own people: those who refuse to go on an assault, or, for example, do not want to pay tribute to their commanders.”
The term “mafia land” or “crime syndicate” for russia is duly justified.
“That is, there are so many dead occupiers that the budget is bursting at the seams.”
Wonderful.
I wouldn’t in a million years call this an army. It’s nothing but an ill-organised assembly of the lowest trash in mafia land. The number one goal is not to win, but to extort who you can and hopefully live to spend it.
Right! It’s a rag-tag mob.
