Soldiers beaten, starved, and chained by their own commanders - Break The Fake - TVP WORLD
While Putin hands out medals on the Heroes of the Fatherland Day, the reality for Russian soldiers on the front line is horrifying.
The rank-and-file servicemen report beatings, starvation, chains, and humiliation from their own commanders.
Soldiers are thrown into minefields and suicide drone attacks without weapons, food, or even protective gear.
Some walk kilometers wounded, only to be beaten again.
The Kremlin's propaganda celebrates "heroism" and "spiritual ties with ancestors," but behind the cameras, Russia's army is a meat grinder of torture and abuse.
Join Jonasz Rewiński in this new episode of Break the Fake to see the truth that Russian commanders are trying to hide from you.
