It Finally Happened! Escaped Russian Soldier Reveals Horrible Dirt About Z-Army - The Russian Dude [View all]



An escaped Russian soldier just dropped shocking revelations about life inside Putin’s Z-Army, and it’s worse than anyone imagined. After three years of war sold as a “special operation,” the Kremlin still insists Russia advances methodically while only Ukraine bleeds. But diaries, hospitals, and convoys tell a different story—one of mass casualties, corruption, and systemic rot hidden behind propaganda. This exclusive account comes from a sixty-year-old volunteer who joined for money but quickly realized the Russian military was a nightmare of untrained recruits, missing pay, stripped ID tags, and suicidal tactics. His diary exposes everything from convoys lined up as drone bait to injured soldiers forced back to the front on crutches.

From the illusion of a one-way war to ritual “victories” staged over ruins, this insider testimony reveals the brutal truth about the Russian army, its commanders, and the human cost Moscow tries to erase. If this is victory, then who exactly won? Watch the full breakdown of the escaped Russian soldier’s testimony, the lies of the Kremlin, and the horrifying reality of Russia’s war in Ukraine.
