I am having great difficulty in understanding what tactical or strategic purpose sending cannon fodder to die serves. What is the purpose of killing your own citizens like this? This can only, finally, stir up opposition to the war.
Last night the body of Russian military draft officer Roman Malyk was found hanging on a fence in the town of Partizansk (near Vladivostok)
It reportedly showed signs of suicide, but "local residents doubt that he could have killed himself"
