A shocking video released by Gulagu.net, a Russian prisoners’ rights campaign group, has shed light on the dire situation faced by Storm-Z squad fighters in Ukraine. The footage reveals a group of brave soldiers protesting against the mistreatment they endure at the hands of their commanders.
Comprised of drunk recruits, insubordinate soldiers, and convicts pressed into service, Storm-Z squads have long been considered “expendable” by Russian authorities. These fighters often find themselves on the frontlines, where heavy losses are a common occurrence.
What is particularly alarming is the approach taken by the Russian defence ministry in recruiting prisoners from jails to join Storm-Z squads. The promise of pardons and wages serves as the incentive for these desperate men to fight on the frontlines. As a result, several hundred Storm-Z fighters are currently deployed in some of the most dangerous parts of the conflict zone.
The deployment of Storm-Z squads represents a departure for Russia in its involvement in Ukraine. These fighters now come under direct command of the defence ministry, a fact that raises concerns about their treatment and well-being on the battlefield.
Despite the sacrifices made by these former prisoners, their plight has gone largely unnoticed. President Vladimir Putin himself has acknowledged that some former prison inmates have lost their lives in action, praising their sacrifice for the motherland. However, little action has been taken to improve the conditions faced by Storm-Z fighters.
Sources close to the matter, who have requested anonymity out of fear of reprisals, have confirmed the brutal conditions endured by Storm-Z fighters. Limited resources, including a severe shortage of ammunition, food, water, and medical attention have only exacerbated their already dire circumstances. Those who dare to protest or refuse orders face punishment and physical abuse.
To make matters worse, Russian officials have remained silent on the recent protest and the fate of the fighters involved. This complete lack of public comment raises questions about the government’s willingness to address the mistreatment of these soldiers.
As the international community watches the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, it is crucial to shine a light on the mistreatment of these brave Storm-Z fighters. Gulagu.net’s video substantiates the urgent need for immediate action to protect their rights and ensure their safety on the frontlines.
