Russian soldiers are shooting themselves in the legs to avoid fighting in Ukraine, it is reported.
In one conversation between soldiers intercepted by Belarusian media source NEXTA, a Russian said: “They’ve been shooting at us for 14 days. We’re scared. We’re stealing food, breaking into houses. We’re killing civilians.
“Russian officers shoot themselves in the legs to go home. There are corpses everywhere.”
Another said troops are “looking for Ukrainian ammunition in order to shoot themselves in the legs and go to hospital”.
It is thought harsh punishments will be dished out to soldiers who desert the field when they return to Russia.
It comes after furious soldiers warned they will rise up against Vladimir Putin.
