There is such a copious amount of footage of Ukrainian soldiers being slaughtered that it's just sadism, from whatever perspective you look at it. Scores of people are killed in an instant. I'm not overexaggerating. People are being sent forwards like ants, or a Zerg-rush in Starcraft.
A company or reinforced platoon (around 50-100 men, depending) are sent forward. They get ripped apart (as in, mines, mortars, drones, artillery, ATGMs, KA-52s, explosions, bullets, taking limbs clean off). The survivors are told they have to stay to "hold the recaptured ground", with "help on the way". Another company comes. They, too, are shredded in enfilading crossfire. They ask for evac, the evac convoy is shelled, with losses (there is footage of some APCs managing to pick people up, but in many cases this was a trap, to set them up for an ATGM flank hit, and there is a catastrophic explosion, no survivors). The wounded, many missing limbs, are left to bleed to death.
The few UA soldiers that remain on the field have to gamble, and either take the risk of surrendering (there are cases of UA soldiers trying to k * ll deserters via shelling if they think they're abandoning their positions, interestingly this is a tactic the Syrian Opposition also used), or call the enemy's bluff and hunker down (perhaps they don't want to fire any more artillery than they have to?).
Reminder that the interview in this video was from a pro-Ukrainian media outlet, and it was from a Polish volunteer.
Few articles, as the source is video footage taken from combat drones over the frontline posted to Telegram.
It's just after watching x amount, you begin to see patterns.
@Aldo2 So the whole cannon fodder cycle, do you have any articles on this I can show my normie friends that make their conspiracy alarm bells go off?
