Vladimir Putin' s troops have been told by their commanders to shoot "looters", the Ukrainian Dad's Army and pet dogs, it has been claimed.
However, Russian soldiers have also been ordered to avoid using language such as “killed, liquidated, [and] shot” when speaking with locals, according to an “invader’s manual” allegedly seized from troops.
The disturbing manual goes on to explain that such descriptions have an "impact on local residents negatively" and should not be used.
