By the end of May 2025, more than 20,000 cases had been filed against Russians who refused to serve in the military during Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Over 17,721 Russian troops were handed decade-long prison sentences for being absent without leave (AWOL), the British Ministry of Defence reported.
Before the full-scale invasion, refusal to be drafted typically resulted in a financial penalty. Now, prison sentences of several years are standard. While reports vary, draft evasion is reportedly punishable by up to 2 years’ imprisonment, and in practice, courts typically impose fines rather than jail time. With support, Russians can also apply for “alternative civilian service” (AGS), which is a constitutional right in Russia but often likely ends up in a trial and potential sentencing, United24 Media says.
Russian courts hand out even harsher penalties for desertion or abandonment of military units than draft refusal. AWOL soldiers receive between 10-15 years in prison, Connection e.V., an organization supporting anti-war and anti-conscription efforts.
Russian military losses have surpassed 1.2 million soldiers, more than its entire pre-war army. This includes both those killed and the severely wounded who will never return to combat.
Despite these staggering numbers, Russia keeps advancing the only way it knows how, throwing its soldiers into meatgrinder assaults. Some are forced to the frontline on crutches, others are severely wounded. Russia, as a token of gratitude, has “rewarded” relatives of killed soldiers with a gift for laying their lives down for their nation, such as a meat grinder, other kitchen appliances, or even a bag of onions.
The soldiers who refuse to take part in assaults are subjected to Russia’s widespread practice of summary executions, known as “obnuleniye” or “zeoring”, referring to killing one’s own comrades, for punishment or intimidation.
Countless executions have been filmed by Russian forces, and the soldiers behind them are lionized for their atrocities. Violence and extrajudicial punishment for soldiers who refuse to fight or disobey orders have become commonplace. Russian forces have tied their comrades to trees, put them in so-called torture pits, depriving them of food and water, and physically torturing and beating them to death.
Refusing mobilization in the first place can be far safer than facing the frontline, torture, or execution. If it’s too late, surrendering to Ukraine’s Armed Forces is the only way to survive—before the battlefield or brutal torture and executions decide their fate.
As more soldiers are tortured, mistreated, or even executed by their own commanders, prison becomes a rational alternative. If those who refuse mobilization face shorter sentences than those imposed after deployment, then accepting imprisonment before risking life and torture on the frontline is the more logical choice.
“The Nullifiers” is a Verstka project that has identified 101 Russian military executioners. It publishes information on soldiers who "nullify" their own comrades—killing, torturing them to death, and sending them on assaults from which they are unable to return alive.
While shocking, “zeoring,” the execution of one’s own soldiers, is now routine in Russia’s army. For those facing forced conscription or frontline combat, Ukraine offers a path to safety: leaflets and drones instruct soldiers how to surrender.
