Is anyone really surprised? If they’ll commit wartime atrocities, such as killing and raping civilians, shooting those who won’t fight isn’t a far stretch.

it's funny they say they are fighting for the motherland when most russians will probably only ever see moscow and st petersburg. most of the other population in the far east is blissfully unaware what's going on...probably.

too busy freezing to death.

Is that new, everyone already now this.

Wait, this asshole was “released from detention” and “living in a secret location in Oslo”. Wtf?! That secret location better also be a prison cell.

Why? He's not being charged with anything afaik.

Well, in return he is going to “testify” whatever, so…

everyone should watch the zolkin interviews w PoWs (russian language interviews)

mobilized of all types wagner and MoD, cite fear of reprisal, recount incidents of threats of death, recounts abandoned wounded soldiers

He will be followed everywhere he goes. There is no way they trust him.

Think of him as a mob cappo and he’s in witness protection until he can sell all his friends out

You greatly overestimate how much norwegian authorities cares about this guy if you think they will follow him around. You either get locked up or you dont, police cant stalk you like that.

The police? lol. It will be their intelligence agency, and they can do whatever they want.

Didn't know they had commissars in the Russian army

Doesn’t every country do this to deserters during war times?

Don’t forget pillaging, chemicals weapons, targeting civilian centers and hospitals, kidnapping and false flag operations.

It is a physiological blow to Russia if their troops sees a former commander publicly denounce the war. It will encourage them to not fight as hard if not throw down their weapons.

Yes, the few I chose were by no means a complete list.

Shot for fleeing, shot for staying, shot by comrades, shooting themselves...

Russia is seriously determined to lose this war.

Pretty sure they “haze” new recruits by raping them too.

No they don’t. In fact the U.S went to great lengths to rescue one of theirs in Afghanistan. Most western army’s would charge them through their military justice system. Russia barely has a military and sure as fuck doesn’t have justice.

I guess I was just being influenced by movies in my thinking, I have no idea how the military justice system works, but you’re totally right.
