☆ Russian officers refused to collect the bodies of dead troops so the military wouldn't have to pay their families, convict soldier says
  + stars: | 2023-08-15 | by ( Chris Panella | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +2 min
An ex-convict Russian soldier said officers in Putin's army refused to collect the dead bodies of fallen troops. The soldier told The New York Times that it let the Russian military dodge paying their families compensation. In an interview, the soldier who served in one of the Russian Ministry of Defense's convict units — who was identified as "Aleksandr" — told the Times he was ordered not to collect the bodies of his fellow troops. He told the Times that officers could register the men as "missing in action," meaning their families couldn't collect compensation for them being killed in battle. And last week, researchers with the BBC said they've identified more than 30,000 dead Russian soldiers by name, including 1,300 in the last two weeks alone.

A Russian general who knew of Wagner's uprising plans hasn't been seen in days. Gen. Surovikin knew Prigozhin was planning an uprising against Russian military leadership, NYT reported. Surovikin is a top commander in the Ukraine war and rumors grew he may have been arrested. A Russian military blogger also claimed that Surovikin had been arrested, and taken to a notorious prison. Wagner's insurrection posed a dire threat to Putin and the Russian Ministry of Defense's leadership, although ending in retreat and a murky peace deal between Prigozhin and Russian leadership.
