I Russian soldiers they are ready to kill even their generals who are forcing them to go to the front to take the offensive. It happens in the region of Donetskwhere soldiers almost shot the general Valery Solodchuk and his bodyguards, who had come to quell the mutiny and force those who refused to fight. From the interceptions of one of them with his partner, it seems that the latter is part of an artillery unit as several weapons are mentioned. In the scene told by soldiers, the battalion refuses to fight. So the general is forced to scold them but his attempt leads to the anger of the entire brigade (“about 200 soldiers of the initial 600, the others are dead or wounded”, he says). The battalion and the general – with his bodyguards – arrive to point their weapons at each other – then Solodchuk leaves the area after a soldier refused the blackmail and threatened to blow everyone up with a grenade.
