MediaZona reported about 2 weeks ago that a huge trial into fake wounds going on. It's hard to know whether it is the wounds or the trial that is fake. In any case at its centre are some of Russia's "elite" forces, also known from Bucha. Also, despite military men always being at the bottom of the political ladder in Russia, this trial is quite devastating for the army morale.

Seems like these guys are smarter than the rest of their army

Russian officers were forcing the severely injured into meat wave attacks to deplete Ukrainian ammunition. Nothing but being a corpse gets you out of the Russian army, so seems kind of pointless.

I do believe there are smarter ways to break a leg

Gotta admire the hustle & outside-the-box thinking.

If you found yourself in the Russian army, that probably wouldn’t be the worst idea.
