Let Someone Whack You: Russian Troops Are Now Deliberately Wounding Themselves to Get Out of Putins War
-snip-
I had a commander who shot himself in the leg just to get out of here. And that was in the very beginning! What is there to talk about? He served in Chechnya.

The tapped phone chat was not the only one to suggest Russian troops are taking desperate measures to escape the war. In a similar recording released by Ukrainian intelligence Friday, a woman identified as the wife of a Russian soldier urges him to fall off a tank.
Theres no way out, she says. Otherwise you will be there until September They will not swap you out, because everyone is refusing.

His wife argues a fall from a tank is just one option. You just dont need to shoot yourself in the leg, because who the fuck knows how that would end. Or let someone whack you on your side, she says, so that his kidneys would get injured. I dont fucking know! Because youd be able to go home straight from the hospital.
