It is called "Zindan" the retaliation of which Russian soldiers are victims who are punished by superiors who, in military operations in Ukraine , ask to be able to terminate the contract and return home or who violate the regulation, for example by getting drunk.
Zindan: holes dug in the ground covered by a metal grid where the military are locked up against their will.
The complaint comes on Twitter from the intelligence of the British Ministry of Defence.
In support of the report, London cites "many reports prepared by Russian personnel". British intelligence points out that violations of discipline are punished with these harsh measures especially since the chief of staff Valery Gerasimov took command of the operation in Ukraine last January.
