Intense russian video from the Hostomel air assault attempt at the beginning of the war in Ukraine. The intrepid documentarian and every paratrooper you see in the video was KIA.

Do we know that, or do we assume that because we assume that all VDV troops were wiped out in Hostomel?

We assume, but it's a solid assumption. Why?

Because knowing for a fact hits differently than probabilities.

Considering they were surrounded from day 1 and didn't want to surrender, the probabilities are pretty high. But ok.

I hadn't heard about this before... Russian soldiers are getting extorted out of their pay by superiors, tortured when refusing...

That has been going on for years tbh. There have mentions of it for a while now
