Daniil Frolkin, a 21-year-old Russian soldier who served in the conflict for five months, told reporters for iStories media that they were supposedly attempting to free citizens from Nazism.
But we slaughter innocent people. What justifies the continuation of this conflict?
He described in terrifying detail how “my commanders ordered me: “Those are the ones to be shot” to journalist Yekaterina Fomina.
I then went and killed them. Lieutenant Colonel Andrey Prokurat issued the command.
In addition to Prokurat, he named Colonel Azatbek Omurbekov, a.k.a. the “Butcher of Bucha,” as the person who gave the order. His men are suspected of employing rape as a weapon of war.
He instructed: “Take them somewhere, and shoot them.” These men were brought in.
They carried a large amount of cash on them, both dollars and [Ukrainian] hryvnia. This Lt. Col. pocketed the cash.
“Walk them out, shoot them, destroy their phones and their paperwork,” they also gave us, according to what they said.
He described his attempts to escape Putin’s killing machine army but initial failure.
He described how one commander stole refrigerators, clothing, and athletic equipment from Ukraine and sent truckloads of the stolen goods to Belarus, a Russian ally.
I don’t know who we’re fighting, but I would guess it’s the [Ukrainian army].
However, they are Slavic people like us and are not Nazis.
“We’ve never had Nazis,” individuals in the villages claimed when we spoke with them.
He claimed that the majority of them were retirees who had migrated from Russia to Ukraine.
Guard corporal Daniil Andreyevich Frolkin, a member of military unit 51460, made a dramatic confession to journalists, saying, “I plead guilty to all the atrocities I did in Andriivka [village].”
“The execution of citizens, looting [them], and taking [their] phones” were among these.
He asserted that war crimes were done to get medals and appease their top brass because “our [Russian] superiors don’t give a f*** about our guys.”
He acknowledged shooting images of Russian invaders while swiping a phone from a Ukrainian.
This phone, which was later discovered after the Russians left, includes shocking first-hand information about the alleged war crimes committed by Putin’s forces.
He mentioned specific Russian leaders who were connected to his 64 Motorized Rifle Brigade and accused them of war crimes.
In order to impress the defense leaders, the colonel allegedly fabricated successful operations. While sending his troops into danger, he hid in cellars.
“He always sat in the basement when we were in Andreevka,” recalled Frolkin. We were basically thrown into battles; we weren’t treated like people.”
Frolkin, a Siberian from the Altai region, accused Lt. Colonel Denis Romanenko, the head of intelligence, of sending his own troops to their deaths and sought an investigation into other commanders.
He pleaded with the authorities to punish the commanders, explaining that he had come forward in the aim of inciting legal action and jail time for them.
However, his aspirations for a “furore” in the army are improbable given how impossible it is for Russian defense authorities to acknowledge the atrocities.
According to Frolkin, one of the civilians he killed was in the process of telling the Ukrainians where the Russian troops was stationed.
He claimed that as a result of him, “We had 18 wounded, one badly wounded with his balls blasted off by shrapnel.”
“Please guys, give me a machine gun, I’ll shoot myself, I don’t want to go back to my wife like this,” he begged us.
I told [the informant]: “On your knees,” Frolkin said. “And only a single shot to the forehead. I spent a very long time shaking. I realized that if I murder anyone else, I will kill myself. On moral grounds, I was unable to take any more lives. I killed one, but I also tried to save as many lives as I could. I want to protect my men.”
Frolkin, who has returned to Russia and has left the service, acknowledged that his revelations might land him in jail.
Days after claims of extensive war crimes in the Kyiv suburb surfaced as Russian troops retreated, more than 400 tortured, killed, and mangled corpses were found in Bucha.
Due to the alleged crimes, Omurbekov, also known as the “Butcher of Bucha,” received a promotion from Lieutenant Colonel to full Colonel.
It happened even though his soldiers were under suspicion for gang rapes, torturing, and killing civilians.
The unit was quickly redeployed to the eastern Donbas front, one of the most hazardous in the conflict, after winning the honors.
