    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Ukrainian internal affairs adviser Anton Gerashchenko posted the clip on X (formerly Twitter) of the unnamed Russian serviceman describing how he had been “sent to slaughter” in the war.

    The video, which as of Saturday, had received more than 225,000 views, is the latest account from a member of Vladimir Putin’s personnel who have complained about poor training, leadership and morale.

    It comes as Russia suffers huge losses in the offensive it launched in October towards Avdiivka, in the Donetsk oblast, which has seen a spike in troop deaths, according to Ukrainian and Western estimates.

    The YouTube channel says that it is showing “the real situation in Ukrainian captivity and calls on the families and friends of the Russian military to surrender.”

    The clip of the soldier, whose named is bleeped out and whose location is not given, shows him describing how he and his comrades were given automatic rifles and driven to a firing range.

    Putin issued a decree on Thursday for foreign nationals who fight for Russia in Ukraine to get Russian citizenship for themselves and their families.
