Russian soldiers stage mutiny in Ulyanovsk demanding to go home

ENLISTED Russian troops from the Chuvashia republic refused to leave their training base for the front because they claimed they were cheated by Russian officials over payments.

Riot police were called to a barracks in Ulyanovsk to quell the uprising.

“It’s clear - we were f***ing fooled,” said a mutineer.

The protest culminated in almost 2,000 disgruntled draftees demanding to be allowed home for the weekend with their families.

The rebellious men were reportedly granted their wish to diffuse the ugly standoff.

This footage is yet to be verified and the location is unconfirmed.
