Former Russian soldier accuses his superiors of torture

Available for 28 days

The testimony of Russian soldiers includes witnessing soldiers being executed on the spot for refusing orders. One soldier says he was tortured after refusing to send a group of soldiers to a so-called ‘meat storm’. This is where Russian soldiers are sent forwards to engage Ukrainian positions without support or reconnaissance. Police in London arrested and are questioning the former UK ambassador to the US, Peter Mandelson, over his ties to the sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. And tourists have started leaving western Mexico after being stranded since Sunday when drug cartels unleashed a wave of violence following the killing of their leader, El Mencho.
