In Ukraine, Russian military personnel are being subjected to food restrictions as punishment. Near the village of Pokrovskoye in the Zaporizhia region, over 50 Russian soldiers are being held in a pit and provided with food only once a day for refusing to participate in combat. This information was provided by Deputy Minister of Defense Hanna Malyar.
"The implementation of food supply restrictions as a form of punishment for personnel has become a characteristic feature of the so-called special military operation carried out by the Russian Armed Forces in Ukraine. Specifically, in late August of this year, near the settlement of Pokrovskoye in the Zaporizhia region, more than 50 Russian military personnel who refused to take part in combat actions are being held by the Russian police in a deep pit, referred to as a "zindan," and are being fed a meager portion once a day," Malyar writes.
Furthermore, throughout the temporarily occupied Ukrainian territory, the enemy uses these "zindans" to punish local residents who have been detained for violating curfew regulations.
The pseudo-administrations of the Svatove district in the Luhansk region have also been notified that food supply to units located in that district will be terminated from September.
"Meanwhile, a large number of mobilized individuals are arriving in the city of Donetsk, most of whom are labor migrants from former Soviet republics who previously went to Russia for work and obtained Russian passports. According to these individuals, they were forcibly brought into Ukraine under convoy. Currently, they are being held in houses whose owners have been deported to Russia," the Deputy Minister explained.
It is reported that the mobilized individuals have already exhausted their supplies of dry rations, and other food provisions have not been provided for their arrival in combat units.
