1/ Hundreds, perhaps thousands, of Russian soldiers have been executed by their own side during the war in Ukraine – a practice called "zeroing out" or "resetting to zero". It's not just a disciplinary measure but a reflection of rampant corruption and criminality in the army.

2/ The Russian army has always practiced execution of its own men on a far greater scale than any Western military, including that of Nazi Germany. A comparison of military executions in the two World Wars illustrates this point.

3/ World War I:
United States – 11 men
Germany - 48
British Empire – 307
France – 650
Austria-Hungary - 1,148
Russian Empire – 10,000-20,000

4/ World War II:
British Empire – 40
France – 100
United States – 102
Japan – several thousand
Nazi Germany – 15,000-20,000
Soviet Union – at least 157,593

Up to 2,000 soldiers were also reportedly executed in the 1979-1989 Soviet-Afghan War.

5/ Executions were also commonly used by the Russian Army in the Crimean War in the 1850s, where the majority of the soldiers were conscripted serfs and harsh discipline was the norm. Commanders sometimes ordered attacks on their own units as a form of punishment.
