Russian Soldier Shootings in Eastern Ukraine
Russian soldier suspected of shooting dead six comrades in eastern Ukraine, while another officer is on trial for killing seven soldiers under his command. There are claims of low morale among Russian troops due to various reasons. Moscow's war effort has involved convicts serving for freedom. The soldier on the run, Yuri G., may have an AK-12 assault rifle. The trial of the former platoon commander, Dmitry Lobovikov, involves him throwing a grenade, killing seven soldiers. His defense claims the incident was accidental due to a combination of sedatives and alcohol.
