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.

    Yes but at least you will get a trial and not just “go to die at the front or be executed right now”

      Do they also get a trail during wartime?

        Yes. The last person that the United States executed for desertion, Eddie Slovik in 1945, was tried in a military court, found guilty, and executed.

        I assume that Russia would have rules for the same. Whether they are followed is the question.

        They’re meant to, but personally I don’t trust anyone of any nationality that joined the military or the police, to do the right thing.
