The levels of horrific violence allegedly used against Ukrainian civilians points to Russian soldiers being under the influence of drugs, a UN official has said.
Today, two Ukrainian soldiers recalled how they battled hundreds of deranged Wagner fighters who seemed superhuman as they fought on despite serious gunshot wounds, suggesting they had been "given drugs" before the clash.
But earlier scenes in the war, which is nearing its grim one-year anniversary at the end of this month, suggest Vladimir Putin's boys may have been taking narcotics because of the sheer level of violence used against the Ukrainian people.
