The Ukrainian army has developed an ingenious method to deal with the desertion wracking it throughout 2025. Mobilized men trying to escape are murdered.

Drug addicts mobilized during their methadone treatments. Mentally disabled men mobilized and beaten for discipline. Ordinary drafted men subjected to the laws of the post-soviet prison system. Drug addicts going through agonizing withdrawals, hallucinating and throwing piss in the same punishment dungeon as conscientious objectors.

All troops go to the toilet under the barrel of a gun. Often all they have is a bottle in their tent. Wrapped up in duct tape and thrown into a concrete floor after an escape attempt, shitting on the floor beneath their immobilized body.

To prevent escapes, training bases are surrounded by mines. Men still try to run away, or perhaps simply prefer suicide by mine to the constant beatings and torture endured daily to break the spirits of the new recruits.

Nine suicides witnessed by one man in four days at the training camp. Commanders play with their recruits, forcing them to beat each other in mock gladiator fights. A mobilized man beaten so hard his face is blue, commanders laughing that he can only crawl, calling him ‘bluey’.

Dozens officially dead of ‘pneumonia’ this year. A 50 year old Baptist conscientious objector, forcefed through an IV drip after he went on hunger strike, beaten daily by a medic whose call sign was ‘Satan’. His wife said his broken body had an ‘inexplicable dent’ in his back. His face unrecognizable, only identifiable by a mole. Heart problems, the doctors concluded. No signs of a violent death.

A soldier suffering from methadone withdrawals dragged around the base from a quad bike. He and others photographed with large patches of skin missing. Complains to family he’s being beaten so hard he’s shitting himself. He escapes to a hospital and tells doctors of his ordeal. Dead a few days later.

Dogs maul those trying to escape the camps. The training camps. Dogs are set on anyone else breaking discipline. Ribs broken during meetings if you mess up paperwork.

Commanders call all of them ‘one-time uses’. That’s all that any soldier is good for — one assault operation. At least someone in Maryland or London can get some frisson from news of counter-offensives by the daring, democratic Ukrainians.

The west is funding a concentration camp army. That’s from the words of Ukrainian soldiers, quoted by the most liberal, western-funded Ukrainian media out there. Of course, this latest investigation into the obscene brutality reigning in the army won’t be translated into English any time soon. Luckily, we’ll go through it together.

    JFC. Just finished reading. Anyone still supporting ukro-nazis deserves to be sent to the front lines

      The problem is that the Nazis are the ones sending others to the front lines, they are the ones rounding up people in vans, they’re the ones beating up and torturing the forcibly mobilized, forcing them to the front with a gun at their back, killing them if they try to surrender or run away.

      A sentence that stuck with me in one of the articles from the Ukrainian publications cited here is where one of these poor people who was getting beaten and tortured after trying to escape asked his torturer why he was doing this and his response was: “What, do you want me to get sent to the front instead of you?” and proceeded to beat him even harder for daring to ask.

      And yet all the pro-Ukraine liberals (and pro-Ukraine “leftists”) insist, when someone suggests that maybe Ukraine should negotiate and give up what it takes to make peace, that we are denying the Ukrainians their agency, that they want to fight (for territories where the population hates the Ukrainian army and vice versa) and how dare we tell them not to.

      Does this story indicate that there is a widespread desire in Ukraine to fight? The daily videos of mobilizations where people fight back to try and escape or to rescue their relatives? Do the millions of Ukrainians who have fled from relatively safe parts of Ukraine because they didn’t want to risk getting mobilized indicate that they want to fight?

      Or is it maybe something that only the rabid Nazis want, and the corrupt Kiev regime that pockets millions every day the war goes on, and the Western cheerleaders who only pretend to care about Ukrainians but really just want to see more dead Russians and Russia weakened?

        I wonder what will be the consequences the neighboring countries. If the Nazis aren’t the ones getting killed, then there will be lots of them sitting on top of several millions of dollars of weapons after the war.

        I really wish their crimes against their own country get punished and that their victims get peace.

          Mhm, considering the current state of their demography - it is sadly quite likely that we will see a full state collapse soon, to the absolute detriment of Ukrainan proletariat. This state collapse will also create a power vacuum in which the surviving far right and nazi militas will either fight among themselves (unlikely) or be channeled to terrorize/fight for the wishes of western capital (very likely). We already see this with Ukrainain fighters working with EU-funded terrorists in the Sahel, being deployed to West Asia and if I recall correctly, I’ve even read reports of Ukrainan cells being even further East supporting CIA-led training of China-antagonistic terrorist along belt-and-road infrastructure. And of course continued terrorist attacks against Donbass, Crimea etc.

          I dont think this is very suprising, it is essentially the same playbook that Washington (and the UK) have ran with since the 50s. Whats interesting about this conflict in particular is how entrenched in the EU elite it is - although never possible without US backing, this conflict (especially in its modern form) is in many aspects the child of British and German meddling, scheming and provocations. Since the conflicts is in direct odds to the majority EU population’s material conditions, it is a bit different from more classic African/Asian quagmires where the west’s meddling doesn’t have the same direct impact on its own citizens.

          Historically they have been happy to let nazi militas, far right gangs and thugs run around on other continents doing their dirty work of torturing, killing and terrorizing the populations - it will be interesting to see how they plan to contain these forces on their on home turf. I personally don’t think they planned this out very well, whistleblowers from the MI6 for instance have talked about how it is mostly still a “gentlemans club” of people running around fantasizing about the cold war and thinking they are “cool”. I dont think there was any proper plan for what this conflict would lead to, they are already having trouble containing it, see the Nordstream for instance (which I doubt the Germans would greenlight if they knew about it).

          Sadly there are interesting times ahead.

            As a whole, Europe is pretty fractured. I honestly think the only thing that truly unites Germany, France and the UK is exploiting the rest of Europe. There is no plan, no grand unified strategy or anything. Honestly, I hope that the EU collapses ASAP so that Spain, Portugal, Italy and Eastern Europe’s proletariat can have a chance at sovereignty. I don’t think they are gonna be targeted by Nazi terrorism as much as the others.

    I’m not really affected, but you might want to put a CW for gore on your post comrade.
