Russian soldiers drafted to Ukraine were told they wouldn't have to actually fight anyone, report says. Many of them were swiftly killed.
"Russian commanders told soldiers drafted to Ukraine that they would "never see combat," only for them to be killed in battle shortly after, according to a new investigation by The New York Times.
In September, about seven months into the war in Ukraine, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the partial mobilization of the country's military reservists.
The move called some 300,000 into action and gave them the same status as regular soldiers, Insider reported previously.
Drafted members of Russia's 155th Naval Infantry Brigade told The Times that their unit consisted of factory workers, truck drivers, and a former barista, some of whom had shockingly little experience with firearms."
