A group of Russian soldiers fighting in Ukraine recorded a video in which they discuss "blocking units" of snipers sent by Moscow to prevent troops from fleeing the battlefield.
The clip was shared by WarTranslated, an independent media project that translates materials about the Russia-Ukraine war into English, Newsweek reports.
"After yesterday's attack, during the withdrawal, those who were wounded or afraid, they called us refuseniks' and 'meat,'" one of the soldiers said in the video.
He continued: "They don't consider us humans. They've put up blocking units. Snipers, who act against us."
Throughout the course of the war launched by Russian President Vladimir Putin in February 2022, multiple reports have emerged about Moscow using so-called "blocking units," also known as "barrier troops." These units are reportedly used in Ukraine to shoot Russian soldiers who attempt to surrender or escape from battle.
In November 2022, the United Kingdom's Ministry of Defense documented the presence of Russian blocking units in Ukraine.
"Due to low morale and reluctance to fight, Russian forces have probably started deploying 'barrier troops' or 'blocking units,'" the MOD wrote at the time. "These units threaten to shoot their own retreating soldiers in order to compel offensives and have been used in previous conflicts by Russian forces."
According to WarTranslated, the troops in the new video are members of an air assault brigade in Novomikhailovka, a village in the Donetsk region. "We want to start a mass appeal to all departments for this to finally stop. Three assault groups were sent yesterday. Only three people made it with no support provided," the speaker in the video said, per WarTranslated's English captions.
"No evacuation provided for the wounded. Some were getting back any way they could," the soldier added. "Those who returned are sent back with knives no guns."
The Russian soldier then expressed his company's discontent with their commanders, saying the officers treat them "like meat, literally."
He said that they are willing to fight, but they are "demanding that this leadership be dispersed."
