1/ This is the first published photo of Russian soldiers being held captive by the Russian army in a basement in the village of Zavitne Bazhannya. It reportedly shows 20 men being confined in a 5 m x 3 m space, with no toilet, no water, and food being provided only once a day. ⬇️
2/ The independent Russian ASTRA media group has published further details of the improvised prison facility that was first identified by The Insider (see thread below). The men being held there are mobilised soldiers who refuse to fight on the front line.
3/ Earlier reports said that the men were being held in "anti-sanitary conditions", where they were being used as labourers a few kilometres behind the front line and being threatened periodically with being sent to the front line or being shot.
4/ According to the wife of one of the men, "They have not been in contact since 22 November. After 6 people were taken from there to work, there has been no connection. They made an attempt to call yesterday, but the connection was cut off."
