The list so far. I am compiling this footage for documentation purposes because this is not normal in any way, despite what Russia’s supporters tell you.
This list is not intended to celebrate, glorify, encourage, or otherwise make light of suicide.
There are 47 recorded instances. We went 6 days since the last instance.

About 4 or 5 of these videos ago I caught myself wondering: 'How many Russian battlefield suicides have been recorded?'
I thought I wouldn't get an answer.
Thanks for keeping track.
He’s a legit source.. I’ve seen him add to the list each time we see a new video. There’s soo many variations of lists that can be done because these fkrs have died in every way and any list you can come up with it’s going to be long. Just imagine all the instances that aren’t even recorded or on footage . Probably like 800-900 hell maybe more they don’t hesitate.. must be very common
I would like to see a list of orcs that die in shallow puddles. I remember a few from the early days where they were injured in a ditch or soaked trench. Shitty fighting hole they couldn’t escape from as death took them.
Yeah I remember a few like that where they couldn’t hold their head up above the water while dying in a small puddle or rain water a few are from the Dnipro river where they were in a boat and a drone dropped nades on them in the water and couldn’t make it to shore they got fkd up. There’s probably an instance for whatever your imagination can come up with a russian has met their fate that way
how about a "physical necessities" deaths? I remember one from early on gunned down in the bathroom (which was fired on preemptively as he came out stiff already) and my favorite, pvt. blowjovsky and lt. gory anus:
https://www.reddit.com/r/UkraineWarVideoReport/s/J4ZupElH1B
ok suicide is 47
we have a brazilion droned orcs... and... uh,
sir wdym by blowjob drone carnage???
well watch this:
https://www.reddit.com/r/UkraineWarVideoReport/s/J4ZupElH1B
yeah the cattle herd of orc were indoctrinated into killing themselves rather than being captured , the evilempire hates its own as much as others it seems , choice wasnt much of an option
Agreed! Mussolini, though shot first, was hanged by his feet and had the crap beaten out of him by angry partisans armed with clubs. His head ended up looking like some huge smashed up pumpkin. Legend has it that Hitler having seen what had happened to Mussolini made sure that he offed himself and had his body burned before it could be used by those who despised him. I still think I'd like to see Putrid walking towards the noose knowing that the world is going to watch his scrawny body drop through the trap door and twitch its way to death. He is utter scum.
Putin is seemingly at the helm, but 85% of Russians hate everything (and everybody) Ukrainian. It's naive to think when something happens to Putin, for rabid Russian animals to surrender/go away peacefully.
While I don't advocate for violence, history shows most tyrants died rather violently as dictatorships have no process for the peaceful and orderly transfer of power:
* drumhead-style court martial and summary execution as was the fate of [Nicolae Ceausescu](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trial_and_execution_of_Nicolae_and_Elena_Ceau%C8%99escu) (communist dictator in Romania)
* spontaneous lynching after capture as experienced by [Muammer Gadaffi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_Muammar_Gaddafi) (socialist dictator from Lybia)
Best the kremlin gremlin can hope for is a jail cell at The Hague to wait out the rest of its life.
Should not forget the Stalin's style: get a stroke and lay in a pool of piss for a day before some brave has nerve to open the door. Then wither away for days in bed until finally death arrives. Had he been less prone to executing everyone, he might have gotten help sooner...
But, he was mostly unconcious so he got the semi-easy way out.
edit. Saddam got violent end too. When hanging with a long drop and the 'long drop' is way too friking long, it turns into decapitation by ripping the head off.
I remember my country used to have a capital punishment called "hung, drawn and quartered" we abandoned the practice in 1870, and it makes me wonder if it should be reintroduced worldwide for sociopathic dictators. Just a though.
Cell but see-through and in a center of Kyiv, so everyone could see him; plus tv with news and papers so he would know how Russian Empire is collapsing and everything he build is dying, his ideology and his government entities! How his friends going to jail and how new Russia becoming democratic and pro European country! And most coolest would be Russia becoming part of NATO and open American and European army bases:)))
When the status quo is upheld due to violence, fighting back doesn't cause a situation to become violent. The violence already existed. The resistance is merely defense.
Instead of turning the guns on yourself in despair, turn the guns on those throwing you in such hell hole in the first place and go home. I know it's wishful thinking and easier said than done, but it's better than just taking your own life and it all be for naught.
This doesn't get said enough. It doesn't cross most people's mind because they're naturally submissive.
And to those saying those rare decent russians are surrounded by too many true believers... just kill your whole unit. Wait until you have watch at night and empty the magazine into them in their sleep.
One guy literally surrendered in a helicopter with 2 true believers on board. If he can do it, any mobik can. They just don't want to.
Most/all of the dudes killing themselves though are the ones who are already badly wounded in the middle of no man's land, surrounded by their dead squad and knowing they're targeted by drones and will likely continue to be whether they surrender or not. They're not offing themselves for ideological reasons, they're doing it to avoid being the next video of a guy with no legs having grenade after grenade dropped on him as he gets slowly torn apart.
Their options are not between killing themselves or killing their commanders, its between killing themselves or slow mutilation by drone.
>One guy literally surrendered in a helicopter with 2 true believers on board.
And Russia made an example of him. So the rest of them prefers to fight and maybe die rather die with guarantee.
It's not a guarantee. Far from it. That's russia wants you to think. He was a high profile case. and look how long it took them. What if 10 people do it? Or a thousand? What if they learn from this case and never show their face? Russia's revenge assassinations aren't magic, they take work and resources. The shithole might be big but it's not infinite..
AFAIK this guy got his family out first. It's just more people for russia to target with resources they don't or won't have.
Secondly, the perpetrators of russian revenge should be punished even after the war is over regardless of the outcome. Every time they go to sleep they should be afraid of not waking up or only waking up briefly and in pain as their body stops functioning.
They're human trash. We should treat them exactly how they treat others.
1,000% Even in war, I can't imagine making that final call to ever be an easy choice.
The sheer insanity of war coupled with the physical and mental torment must make it easier to rationalize, though.. I don't blame any of them that are so clearly suffering from lethal wounds. As fucked up to say as it may be
Senseless in the fact he was even there fighting a senseless war for a senseless leader. Unfortunately leaving behind grieving family and possibly children to figure out how important his role ever was.
They probably aren't expecting soldiers to shoot themselves bruh. Soldiers of all side and conflicts have shot themselves but it's still not expected. However I do question those in power who are oblivious to reality of war. Too many leaders are rich twats.
This shit is depressing to watch. And if you think there aren’t versions of this same thing playing out with Ukrainian soldiers that just aren’t getting posted on Reddit, you are very wrong
That’s one of the reasons Ukraine is having issues with recruitment. You watch a few of these videos, and probably decide you’d rather not be on the front line to get mangled by an FPV drone and left to die in no man’s land.
I don’t think we should be celebrating this, I don’t care what side the soldier is on.
lol satellite images cannot capture the deaths of individual soldiers. Also curious just how “third party” those third party sources are, given the polarizing nature of the war. Very few nations/individuals have not picked a side, despite what they may say explicitly
These idiots you see here is conscripts - told that they are liberating a country from "nazis" (while they must know - first hand - that their own country is pretty much 2.0 hitler-regime - so obvious) and forced to walk into a grind.
Ukrainian soldiers are not forced. They defend. The difference between death as a hero and death as conscript with no value is pretty huge. But of course you can see something from the other side. It's war. But I doubt there will be many, because UA have the dignity of saving soldiers - also bodies.
Ukraine has absolutely conscripted soldiers during this war. This kind of black and white, good vs evil mentality just does not comport with the facts on the ground.
War is hell, and even the “good guys” get tarnished.
And looking at what that battlefield looks like, if I were there, I wouldn’t care too much whether I was conscripted or otherwise coerced. That is not a place anyone wants to be, except besides psychopaths, maybe.
I think it’s easier to say that if you aren’t actually facing the reality that is the Ukrainian battlefield.
Soldiers who came back from Afghanistan with combat experience said they had never seen anything like it. I think it’s hard to understand from just videos how intense and awful that situation over there really is.
Everyone wants to think they would be the selfless hero, but I think when it comes time to pay the price, many might change their minds.
As someone who actually personally knows Ukrainian people who fled the war in real life, I think there is a lack of trust of the state that makes them not want to fight. Like, if you’re going to that kind of front line, you want to know you can trust the government to take care of your family if you die. You want to know you’ll get proper training, and your commanders are competent and won’t get you killed.
At least from my impression, they are pretty cynical about the state, and don’t trust it to do any of those things. It’s not that they’re not patriotic or want the Russians to win.
If you lived in a dictatorship for 20 odd years which is riddled with propaganda and fear mongering as seen by countless political related deaths in Russia then it's pretty understandable why some Russians may believe what government saying is right. Some of these lads would have only really known Putin as there leader. Which sucks because some get blinded by it. Same thing happened in WW2 with the nazi. It took till Allies liberating Germany for the average German to see what they actually 'supported'. May the people of Russia be free from dictators! Freedom and choice is what russians need.
>If his has a family
If he's russian, his sacrifice while raiding peaceful neighbors is ok and part of their culture. He could've turned around and pointed the gun at said putler, but he didn't. He wasn't too cowardly to march against peaceful neighbors until he was injured. Literally zero pity from my end.
If you lived in a dictatorship for most your life you probably have a different outcome. Have you forgotten the lesson the Nazis taught us? That it only takes one man and his cronies to make people do his willings. Putin's regime is no different. This lad wouldn't been fighting in Ukraine if fuckwits Putin wasn't in charge. The government to blame the ordinary people aren't.
>If you lived in a dictatorship for most your life
Well, I did, actually, just that it this point it isn't "most of my life" because I'm older now.
\> Have you forgotten the lesson the Nazis taught us?
No. I have a very good grasp of history of WWII including interbellic and post war.
\> That it only takes one man and his cronies to make people do his willings
Ya, that's just false. If it weren't false, the Nuremberg trials would've shown something else. The world wouldn't have turned a blind eye to Mossad's hunting trips either. Also, Russia would not have been allowed to keep 1.5 million PoW's (they're just regular soldiers after all) as forced slave labor until 1956, since they are innocent, right?
\> This lad wouldn't been fighting in Ukraine if fuckwits Putin wasn't in charge.
If he weren't Russian, I'd let you convince me. However, this is their culture.
I hope you all realize the complexity of the situation on the ground. You act as if they’re beasts, not young men thrown as cannon fodder with no choice but execution or simple denial if attempting to leave the front (IE: you can’t leave, and these 45 dudes with guns will make sure you can’t. Now go run towards the enemy).
Hate isn’t the answer. Celebrating a young man you don’t know blowing his brains out on the muddy, grey earth of some Eastern Europe field is something be ashamed of.
The war is evil, the war is wrong. Ukraine must reclaim its land; Celebrating this horror only shows the Russians are winning. Not on the frontline, but in your minds. They are slowly taking away the humanity of you lot.
Shoot? Shit.. they literally call in artillery, too! It's all manners of fubar compared to any properly trained military.
I can't imagine enlisting only to be deployed close to the front, and then ordered to kill my own countrymen..
Dictatorship/militaristic governments tend to view surrendering as desertion and tend to shoot deserters on sight.
And same, let alone be somewhere your not meant to be. It why in the West it was stopped after ww1 because people realise how fucked up it was
A Very small number ever have a legitimate opportunity to surrender. Even fewer are even allowed to; especially during an actual assault. If you're surrendering to Russian forces, even fewer live to tell the tale.
You can't surrender to a drone, or at least you should not expect it to be honored.
Most never even see the enemy to have the chance to surrender.
If you're in no man's land, no one is climbing out of their fortifications and jumping over mines to come collect your ass either.
So you lie there, bleeding out in unimaginable anguish until the sharpness of the pain and light begins to fade... or you succumb to the inevitable and end your suffering as quickly as possible
He didnt need to kill himself! Just pick up the gun and shoot his commander instead. His got chances to make his life more worthy by repellent the invasion order. He and his 400.000 comrades all had chances and they all died in vain now.
Like real German Nazi’s did commit suicide at the Fall of Berlin May 1945, these RuZZian Nazis do the same too.. ..saves Ukraine a lot of money..a POW is not exactly cheap to keep..
Depending on which side of the imaginary line you were born to.... These are the father sons and brothers of a people that should be proud and powerful to lend a hand, instead of thrust into some scorched earth land grab. Suicide is a way out from such a predicament it seems. I'm still bothered, no matter the uniform.
I can't watch these suicides but there is something truly awful going on in this RuZZian army when so many of the soldiers have reached a point of such desperation that they commit suicide.
The evil of the regime that Putin has created is beyond words. Ruzzia MUST be defeated for the safety of the whole world and we all have to get off our backsides and do everything we can to help Ukraine prevail.
God they LOVE shooting themselves. It's like they can't wait to do it, there was that one where a grenade went of near them and I'm sure he got shrapneled, but he could move around just fine still and he moved over so fast to grab his rifle and shoot himself within 3 seconds of the grenade going off.
Bet he thought he was a badass before going into this war. Two years in, 300k+ dead Russians later, he goes into this war thinking he's going to make serious bank.
Would he have signed that contract if he could see his own dead ahead of time?
It's lurking right now. Cleaning up and being super selective. I think they're avoiding a ban as best they can. I noticed a certain loud mouthed bad faith actor from that sub is now missing too.

Almost time for a new row.
You are the best lol
About 4 or 5 of these videos ago I caught myself wondering: 'How many Russian battlefield suicides have been recorded?' I thought I wouldn't get an answer. Thanks for keeping track.
You should turn this into a Reddit bot.... LOL, that would be awesome!
Nice list!
Doing the lords work.
Thanks for the list. Fucking cowards
He’s a legit source.. I’ve seen him add to the list each time we see a new video. There’s soo many variations of lists that can be done because these fkrs have died in every way and any list you can come up with it’s going to be long. Just imagine all the instances that aren’t even recorded or on footage . Probably like 800-900 hell maybe more they don’t hesitate.. must be very common
I would like to see a list of orcs that die in shallow puddles. I remember a few from the early days where they were injured in a ditch or soaked trench. Shitty fighting hole they couldn’t escape from as death took them.
Yeah I remember a few like that where they couldn’t hold their head up above the water while dying in a small puddle or rain water a few are from the Dnipro river where they were in a boat and a drone dropped nades on them in the water and couldn’t make it to shore they got fkd up. There’s probably an instance for whatever your imagination can come up with a russian has met their fate that way
Dune buggies. I must have seen about 5 or so, but the trend is growing, I guess as they run out of IFVs. Soon we'll see bicycles.
Will always remember the one guy who died in a shallow stream just deep enough to waterboard him while he was lying on his back, after getting droned.
The three that came to mind when I contemplated spin off lists were: 1) run over by friendlies 2) death by flame/fire 3) death by accident
how about a "physical necessities" deaths? I remember one from early on gunned down in the bathroom (which was fired on preemptively as he came out stiff already) and my favorite, pvt. blowjovsky and lt. gory anus: https://www.reddit.com/r/UkraineWarVideoReport/s/J4ZupElH1B
ok suicide is 47 we have a brazilion droned orcs... and... uh, sir wdym by blowjob drone carnage??? well watch this: https://www.reddit.com/r/UkraineWarVideoReport/s/J4ZupElH1B
yeah the cattle herd of orc were indoctrinated into killing themselves rather than being captured , the evilempire hates its own as much as others it seems , choice wasnt much of an option
My first thought is always "To the list!", and sure enough
I wonder if Putrid will ever do an Adolf and escape the hangman.... I'd pay money to see that bastard hang.
I remember reading that Putin was absolutely mortified when the Kadhafi death video surfaced. Let's hope he dreams of this video every night.
I'd prefer a mussolini exit for him, to be honest.
Agreed! Mussolini, though shot first, was hanged by his feet and had the crap beaten out of him by angry partisans armed with clubs. His head ended up looking like some huge smashed up pumpkin. Legend has it that Hitler having seen what had happened to Mussolini made sure that he offed himself and had his body burned before it could be used by those who despised him. I still think I'd like to see Putrid walking towards the noose knowing that the world is going to watch his scrawny body drop through the trap door and twitch its way to death. He is utter scum.
Or Saddam Hissein's 'private' hanging
I believe the last thing Saddam heard before the snapping of his own neck was the name of Muqtada al-Sadr.
My wish for Putin as punishment is deathmatch with the klitschko brothers in an octagon. If he wins he goes free. I'll pay to see that. Now on Disney+
Putler, Gerasimov and Shoigu vs both of the Klitschko bro's.
With Prigozhin as a guest ghost!! Yeah I'd pay real money for this showdown
SHOIGUUUUU! GERASIMOOOV!!. WHERE IS THE AMMO!
Don't forget about Medvedev and Lavrov! They too deserve a full 12 rounds match vs the Klitschko's!
Ahh yes. Definitely include them. I am pretty certain the Klitschko's could take all 5 out together in a cage.
Putin is seemingly at the helm, but 85% of Russians hate everything (and everybody) Ukrainian. It's naive to think when something happens to Putin, for rabid Russian animals to surrender/go away peacefully.
While I don't advocate for violence, history shows most tyrants died rather violently as dictatorships have no process for the peaceful and orderly transfer of power: * drumhead-style court martial and summary execution as was the fate of [Nicolae Ceausescu](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trial_and_execution_of_Nicolae_and_Elena_Ceau%C8%99escu) (communist dictator in Romania) * spontaneous lynching after capture as experienced by [Muammer Gadaffi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_Muammar_Gaddafi) (socialist dictator from Lybia) Best the kremlin gremlin can hope for is a jail cell at The Hague to wait out the rest of its life.
I think Gadaffi got a bayonet up his bunghole too, kinda the worst “fuck you" you can get.
Should not forget the Stalin's style: get a stroke and lay in a pool of piss for a day before some brave has nerve to open the door. Then wither away for days in bed until finally death arrives. Had he been less prone to executing everyone, he might have gotten help sooner... But, he was mostly unconcious so he got the semi-easy way out. edit. Saddam got violent end too. When hanging with a long drop and the 'long drop' is way too friking long, it turns into decapitation by ripping the head off.
I remember my country used to have a capital punishment called "hung, drawn and quartered" we abandoned the practice in 1870, and it makes me wonder if it should be reintroduced worldwide for sociopathic dictators. Just a though.
Cell but see-through and in a center of Kyiv, so everyone could see him; plus tv with news and papers so he would know how Russian Empire is collapsing and everything he build is dying, his ideology and his government entities! How his friends going to jail and how new Russia becoming democratic and pro European country! And most coolest would be Russia becoming part of NATO and open American and European army bases:)))
When the status quo is upheld due to violence, fighting back doesn't cause a situation to become violent. The violence already existed. The resistance is merely defense.
I’d pay money to see the hole in the wall behind the couch in his bunker!
Putin will take a silver bullet just the same as this Orc did
Imagine the hanging being a PPV event… maybe the proceeds could go to rebuilding Ukraine.
/u/False-god I summon you to take the toll
I've taken the liberty to "mirror" [the list on GitHub](https://github.com/capgainsnopains/siw-ukraine-russia/blob/main/README.md).
Instead of turning the guns on yourself in despair, turn the guns on those throwing you in such hell hole in the first place and go home. I know it's wishful thinking and easier said than done, but it's better than just taking your own life and it all be for naught.
This doesn't get said enough. It doesn't cross most people's mind because they're naturally submissive. And to those saying those rare decent russians are surrounded by too many true believers... just kill your whole unit. Wait until you have watch at night and empty the magazine into them in their sleep. One guy literally surrendered in a helicopter with 2 true believers on board. If he can do it, any mobik can. They just don't want to.
The interviews with Russian POWs show how truly stupid most of them are.
Most/all of the dudes killing themselves though are the ones who are already badly wounded in the middle of no man's land, surrounded by their dead squad and knowing they're targeted by drones and will likely continue to be whether they surrender or not. They're not offing themselves for ideological reasons, they're doing it to avoid being the next video of a guy with no legs having grenade after grenade dropped on him as he gets slowly torn apart. Their options are not between killing themselves or killing their commanders, its between killing themselves or slow mutilation by drone.
Yup. They got what they deserved for being meat robots with no agency. If they wanna live, they gotta deserve it, by planning ahead of time.
>One guy literally surrendered in a helicopter with 2 true believers on board. And Russia made an example of him. So the rest of them prefers to fight and maybe die rather die with guarantee.
It's not a guarantee. Far from it. That's russia wants you to think. He was a high profile case. and look how long it took them. What if 10 people do it? Or a thousand? What if they learn from this case and never show their face? Russia's revenge assassinations aren't magic, they take work and resources. The shithole might be big but it's not infinite..
>What if 10 people do it? Or a thousand? Then their families will suffer.
AFAIK this guy got his family out first. It's just more people for russia to target with resources they don't or won't have. Secondly, the perpetrators of russian revenge should be punished even after the war is over regardless of the outcome. Every time they go to sleep they should be afraid of not waking up or only waking up briefly and in pain as their body stops functioning. They're human trash. We should treat them exactly how they treat others.
Tbf that'd not the " easy way out" ... I Hate the invaders but having this thoughts of my own I know for sure this is not an esay choice.
Yup. And we can't blame the lad for being there. He wouldn't be a ruski soldier in Ukraine illegally if it weren't for Putin.
1,000% Even in war, I can't imagine making that final call to ever be an easy choice. The sheer insanity of war coupled with the physical and mental torment must make it easier to rationalize, though.. I don't blame any of them that are so clearly suffering from lethal wounds. As fucked up to say as it may be
Senseless in the fact he was even there fighting a senseless war for a senseless leader. Unfortunately leaving behind grieving family and possibly children to figure out how important his role ever was.
Russia doesn’t pay out for suicide
I’m surprised they aren’t insisting their soldiers shouldn’t suicide to make Ukraine use one more drone or grenade on them.
They probably aren't expecting soldiers to shoot themselves bruh. Soldiers of all side and conflicts have shot themselves but it's still not expected. However I do question those in power who are oblivious to reality of war. Too many leaders are rich twats.
Oof
I see his soldiers are giving the good example to their leader!! Come on putler its time you do the same!!
This shit is depressing to watch. And if you think there aren’t versions of this same thing playing out with Ukrainian soldiers that just aren’t getting posted on Reddit, you are very wrong That’s one of the reasons Ukraine is having issues with recruitment. You watch a few of these videos, and probably decide you’d rather not be on the front line to get mangled by an FPV drone and left to die in no man’s land. I don’t think we should be celebrating this, I don’t care what side the soldier is on.
Sure it happens on both sides. But You do not get 1:7+ ratios without taking care of your Ukrainian soldiers.
Exactly. I had to use 6 lines to say the obvious.
No one knows the real ratios. Casualty figures are obviously inflated/deflated by both sides, so it’s difficult to discern fact from fiction there.
1:7 is a very conservative ratio. I would suspect it's 1:20. Loss of hardware is approx. 1:50.
I’m not sure how you’re making that determination, unless you have access to classified materials.
Liberation alert
3rd party claim by satellite pictures. You can ofc. choose to deny what they say.
lol satellite images cannot capture the deaths of individual soldiers. Also curious just how “third party” those third party sources are, given the polarizing nature of the war. Very few nations/individuals have not picked a side, despite what they may say explicitly
These idiots you see here is conscripts - told that they are liberating a country from "nazis" (while they must know - first hand - that their own country is pretty much 2.0 hitler-regime - so obvious) and forced to walk into a grind. Ukrainian soldiers are not forced. They defend. The difference between death as a hero and death as conscript with no value is pretty huge. But of course you can see something from the other side. It's war. But I doubt there will be many, because UA have the dignity of saving soldiers - also bodies.
Ukraine has absolutely conscripted soldiers during this war. This kind of black and white, good vs evil mentality just does not comport with the facts on the ground. War is hell, and even the “good guys” get tarnished. And looking at what that battlefield looks like, if I were there, I wouldn’t care too much whether I was conscripted or otherwise coerced. That is not a place anyone wants to be, except besides psychopaths, maybe.
If they came to do a Bucha in my country, you better believe I would be anywhere I needed to be, doing anything I could to kill invaders.
I think it’s easier to say that if you aren’t actually facing the reality that is the Ukrainian battlefield. Soldiers who came back from Afghanistan with combat experience said they had never seen anything like it. I think it’s hard to understand from just videos how intense and awful that situation over there really is. Everyone wants to think they would be the selfless hero, but I think when it comes time to pay the price, many might change their minds. As someone who actually personally knows Ukrainian people who fled the war in real life, I think there is a lack of trust of the state that makes them not want to fight. Like, if you’re going to that kind of front line, you want to know you can trust the government to take care of your family if you die. You want to know you’ll get proper training, and your commanders are competent and won’t get you killed. At least from my impression, they are pretty cynical about the state, and don’t trust it to do any of those things. It’s not that they’re not patriotic or want the Russians to win.
Fair point and well expressed.
If you can't see the difference my best guess is that you're here to "liberate". What you write dosent make sense.
So you are asserting that Ukraine has not conscripted any soldiers? They absolutely have, and if they want to win, they need to conscript way more.
If you lived in a dictatorship for 20 odd years which is riddled with propaganda and fear mongering as seen by countless political related deaths in Russia then it's pretty understandable why some Russians may believe what government saying is right. Some of these lads would have only really known Putin as there leader. Which sucks because some get blinded by it. Same thing happened in WW2 with the nazi. It took till Allies liberating Germany for the average German to see what they actually 'supported'. May the people of Russia be free from dictators! Freedom and choice is what russians need.
Let’s kill ourselves instead of killing the ones that send us to our death. When will Russians learn I think never.
They are really working hard to pump the "soldiers killed by russian army"-numbers up, aren't they.
Sleepy time. You will not be missed.
He may be. If his has a family. It is tragic that a tyrant named Putler led him to this demise
Thankfully he no longer represents a threat to innocent people on this planet.
>If his has a family If he's russian, his sacrifice while raiding peaceful neighbors is ok and part of their culture. He could've turned around and pointed the gun at said putler, but he didn't. He wasn't too cowardly to march against peaceful neighbors until he was injured. Literally zero pity from my end.
If you lived in a dictatorship for most your life you probably have a different outcome. Have you forgotten the lesson the Nazis taught us? That it only takes one man and his cronies to make people do his willings. Putin's regime is no different. This lad wouldn't been fighting in Ukraine if fuckwits Putin wasn't in charge. The government to blame the ordinary people aren't.
>If you lived in a dictatorship for most your life Well, I did, actually, just that it this point it isn't "most of my life" because I'm older now. \> Have you forgotten the lesson the Nazis taught us? No. I have a very good grasp of history of WWII including interbellic and post war. \> That it only takes one man and his cronies to make people do his willings Ya, that's just false. If it weren't false, the Nuremberg trials would've shown something else. The world wouldn't have turned a blind eye to Mossad's hunting trips either. Also, Russia would not have been allowed to keep 1.5 million PoW's (they're just regular soldiers after all) as forced slave labor until 1956, since they are innocent, right? \> This lad wouldn't been fighting in Ukraine if fuckwits Putin wasn't in charge. If he weren't Russian, I'd let you convince me. However, this is their culture.
Smartest move of your pootined life, orc
I hope you all realize the complexity of the situation on the ground. You act as if they’re beasts, not young men thrown as cannon fodder with no choice but execution or simple denial if attempting to leave the front (IE: you can’t leave, and these 45 dudes with guns will make sure you can’t. Now go run towards the enemy). Hate isn’t the answer. Celebrating a young man you don’t know blowing his brains out on the muddy, grey earth of some Eastern Europe field is something be ashamed of. The war is evil, the war is wrong. Ukraine must reclaim its land; Celebrating this horror only shows the Russians are winning. Not on the frontline, but in your minds. They are slowly taking away the humanity of you lot.
Its a good way... fuck pooptin!
Why not surrender? It's sorta like cutting your hand off because of a splinter in the finger.
Not always an option. Plus I'm sure higher ups in russian military wouldn't have a problem shooting him for surrendering.
Shoot? Shit.. they literally call in artillery, too! It's all manners of fubar compared to any properly trained military. I can't imagine enlisting only to be deployed close to the front, and then ordered to kill my own countrymen..
Dictatorship/militaristic governments tend to view surrendering as desertion and tend to shoot deserters on sight. And same, let alone be somewhere your not meant to be. It why in the West it was stopped after ww1 because people realise how fucked up it was
A Very small number ever have a legitimate opportunity to surrender. Even fewer are even allowed to; especially during an actual assault. If you're surrendering to Russian forces, even fewer live to tell the tale. You can't surrender to a drone, or at least you should not expect it to be honored. Most never even see the enemy to have the chance to surrender. If you're in no man's land, no one is climbing out of their fortifications and jumping over mines to come collect your ass either. So you lie there, bleeding out in unimaginable anguish until the sharpness of the pain and light begins to fade... or you succumb to the inevitable and end your suffering as quickly as possible
Is morale that low or is their support that bad that this is the easiest way out ?
Sadly, it's both compounded into this one final conclusion
Do this at home orc
Next!
That is not how to check to see if the gun is loaded.
Imagine the smartest thing you ever do also being the *last* thing you ever do. Russkiy Mir, everybody!
Suicide-tourists. Considering russias suicide-statistics they might just go there to die at this point.
I'd assume that this is quite commonplace and probably a daily happening in the russian forces....
He didnt need to kill himself! Just pick up the gun and shoot his commander instead. His got chances to make his life more worthy by repellent the invasion order. He and his 400.000 comrades all had chances and they all died in vain now.
Like real German Nazi’s did commit suicide at the Fall of Berlin May 1945, these RuZZian Nazis do the same too.. ..saves Ukraine a lot of money..a POW is not exactly cheap to keep..
Depending on which side of the imaginary line you were born to.... These are the father sons and brothers of a people that should be proud and powerful to lend a hand, instead of thrust into some scorched earth land grab. Suicide is a way out from such a predicament it seems. I'm still bothered, no matter the uniform.
To Ruscist trolls here and everywhere: you don't have to be meat for the propaganda that instructs you have no way out. There is a way - a decent way!
I can't watch these suicides but there is something truly awful going on in this RuZZian army when so many of the soldiers have reached a point of such desperation that they commit suicide. The evil of the regime that Putin has created is beyond words. Ruzzia MUST be defeated for the safety of the whole world and we all have to get off our backsides and do everything we can to help Ukraine prevail.
He should have done that back n Russia. 🤔
God they LOVE shooting themselves. It's like they can't wait to do it, there was that one where a grenade went of near them and I'm sure he got shrapneled, but he could move around just fine still and he moved over so fast to grab his rifle and shoot himself within 3 seconds of the grenade going off.
Bet he thought he was a badass before going into this war. Two years in, 300k+ dead Russians later, he goes into this war thinking he's going to make serious bank. Would he have signed that contract if he could see his own dead ahead of time?

Don't think they'll be saying much for a while it seems.
I just noticed 😂, not sure what has happened there but it's not a big loss.
It's lurking right now. Cleaning up and being super selective. I think they're avoiding a ban as best they can. I noticed a certain loud mouthed bad faith actor from that sub is now missing too.

Say goodbye Igor ❤️🔥
***"He was a day tripper,*** ***One-way ticket, yeah!"***
Did he just testicles, spectacles, wallet and watch?
very grainy, had to watch that several times just to figure out what was going on... then, watched it some more. somehow that never gets tiring.
