Mutinies against Vladimir Putin’s war are spreading as up to 2,500 mobilised Russian men faced down a "drunk" general in a protest over their training camp conditions and rusty weapons.
Disgruntled draftees are bravely challenging the authorities by staging the rallies in Kazan, Ulyanovsk and the annexed Luhansk region.
In a new video shared online last night, riot police arrive at a demonstration in Kazan, where the approximate 2,500 soldiers had gathered to confront their general.
