Russian deserters from Ukraine war burned alive at Vladimir Putin's 'torture jail' Russian deserters from the Ukraine war were burned alive in Vladimir Putin's infamous "torture jail".
The fire broke out at around 2am with seven people admitted to hospital, officials said, although the Russian defence ministry has not said what caused the fire.
“The fire broke out in a detention facility for servicemen who were absent without official leave from their military units,” said the military commissar in Russia’s largest region, Yakutia.
Meanwhile leaked voice recordings have revealed the chilling scale of North Korean losses Ukraine, with "several hundred" troops reportedly killed or wounded on the frontline in Kursk.
Among those being held at the detention centre were war-wounded soldiers who, after medical treatment, refused to go back to Putin's frontline in Ukraine.
