Russian soldiers punished for refusing Ukraine orders
Stripped and taped to trees in killer cold: Russian soldiers punished for refusing to follow orders · wionews.com

Some Russian soldiers didn't want to fight in the war against Ukraine.

Their bosses got really mad and punished them by taking off their clothes, taping them to trees in the freezing cold, and making them eat snow.

One soldier was even tied upside down.

The soldiers said they were sorry and promised not to do it again.

Some people are comparing this to a famous book called Animal Farm, where animals are treated badly.

The war has been going on for almost four years, and this is one of the ways the soldiers are being punished for not following orders.
