White House: Russia is executing soldiers who refuse to follow orders
The United States has information that the Russian military is executing soldiers who do not follow orders related to the war with Ukraine, the White House said on Thursday.
You're viewing a single thread.
Here's the bit that chills me:
Representatives from the Kremlin, the Russian defense ministry, and the Russian embassy to the United States did not immediately respond to requests for comment about the issue.
If they're not denying it immediately that says they think there's some utility in not doing so.
The utility is sufficiently explained by the fact that diligently denying things creates the impression that not denying things means that it's true.
Also Russia denying it immediately would make me think it's definitely true. Then again, I've seen barrier troops shooting their own guys so I believe this anyway.
