WASHINGTON, Oct 26 (Reuters) - The United States has information that the Russian military is executing soldiers who do not follow orders related to the war with Ukraine, the White House said on Thursday.
“We have information that the Russian military has been actually executing soldiers who refuse to follow orders,” White House spokesperson John Kirby told reporters.
“We also have information that Russian commanders are threatening to execute entire units if they seek to retreat from Ukrainian artillery fire,” Kirby said.
The United States has strongly condemned Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and is providing aid to Kiev.
Kirby said Russia’s mobilized forces were undertrained, underequipped, and unprepared for combat.
He said the military was using “human wave tactics” by throwing groups of poorly trained soldiers into the fight.
