Leaked Video Shows Russian Soldiers Tied to Trees, Forced to Eat Snow as Punishment

Key details of the footage remain unverified as Ukrainian channels denounce the scenes as torture.

Overview

  • The clip shows two men in underwear bound to trees in freezing conditions, with one suspended upside down while a commander shoves snow into his mouth and hurls profanities.
  • Audio on the video features accusations that the soldiers tried to leave their positions or disobey orders and orders to "work" rather than "**** off."
  • Some reports claim the men failed to reach an assigned destination, but the location, unit identities, and full circumstances have not been confirmed.
  • Kharkiv's governor reports recent strikes severely damaged the energy system, leaving about 80% of the city and region without electricity as crews work to restore service.
  • Officials in Odesa say strikes damaged residential buildings and other civilian sites, with 22 people injured.
