Russian Commanders Accused of Systematically Executing and Torturing Soldiers in Ukraine

Imagine a school where instead of detention, some teachers would secretly make students disappear or send them on dangerous tasks that they wouldn't survive.

That's kind of what an investigation found is happening in the Russian army fighting in Ukraine.

Some commanders are accused of killing their own soldiers if they don't listen or are scared.

They do this in many ways, like shooting them, sending them on dangerous missions without proper gear, or even using drones to make it look like the enemy did it.

They also try to hide these deaths by saying the soldiers died in normal battles or went missing.

This investigation says it's happening a lot, and it's hard for families to get answers or compensation.

The army's leaders deny these bad things are happening.
