The Sun's Defence Editor Jerome Starkey finds dead Russian soldiers rotting in trenches that have been made into shallow graves as Putin continues slaughter in the east of Ukraine.

DEAD Russian soldiers were left rotting in their bunkers on Tuesday as Ukraine’s troops overran their positions — but a deadly new onslaught by Putin’s forces is feared within days.

The Sun witnessed scenes of carnage following a major battle outside Kharkiv — even as Russian President Vladimir Putin vowed to press on with his slaughter in the east.

Bodies lay slumped in blown-open dugouts after Ukraine seized control of a ridgeline in the three-day battle for Mala Rohan — where soldiers are confident they can defeat Russia.

One said: “Whatever Putin does, we won’t surrender. We have won the battle of Mala Rohan. We are one step closer to winning the war.”

But it comes amid rising fears Russia will unleash chemical weapons to turn the tide in its bloodbath invasion after many defeats.

Dozens of Russian troops in T-72 tanks had dug into a treeline two miles outside Kharkiv and bombarded Ukraine’s second city.

    That old lady at the beginning of the war was not joking when she told that Russian that he will fertilize Ukrainian soil

    I used to work in a morgue. The stench of a dead body is the worse thing you will ever smell.

    My grandfather once told us "war only equals when the oppressor finds the same pain as the victim"
  • @stagg2158
    So how can the Russians give an accurate count of their dead soldiers when they leave their bodies to rot on the battle field 🤔

    Vladimir's already earned an upgrade to a first class ticket straight to hell.
  • @andrei1971
    Please release the name of the solider on the name tag. His parents ought to know what happened to their son and why he's missing, because the government isn't going to tell them.

    I'm always struck by the disorder and general trashiness of Russian positions. The conditions that they choose to live under indicate a lack of discipline and training.
  • "Too upsetting to show the rotting corpse of a dead Russian soldier." It's for reasons like this that our cultures have become soft and completely unattuned to what goes on in countries such as Ukraine, Brazil, Mexico, etc., as well as many countries in Africa and the Middle East. People need to see the graphic nature of this harrowing war to appreciate the true gravity of this situation.
  • They don't even have enough respect for their own soldiers to take their dead with them. A site like this can provide intel from what's left over.
  • @zcruddie1
    Why mention it if you're not going to show it?
  • @brndxt
    Whenever a leader has a dream of some perceived or past glory, it spells nightmare to many others.
  • Just like USSR. My grandfathers farm was occupied 1939..40. When soviets leave after battle they left fallen behind. Finnish civilians massgroove them. There was wooden pole and plank with text (translated): "Here lies, 37 russian, 2 horses and cat". Bones were moved officially 1997, by Finns of couse, Russia was not interested.

    Respect to the people of Ukraine.. Stay strong Ukraine.. Greetings from Denmark. 👍
  • My dad was recalling when he was a very young boy and his older brother was missing assumed dead in action in the second world war.. I think in Italy... everyone was mourning and then a letter came in saying he had been taken a prisoner of war and he was being kept in a certain prison camp.... the relief the family experienced.
  • @discostu9585
    There's going to be a lot of grieving Russians without a grave to mourn at. Those guys who drowned in that Tank were just left to rot. No effort was made to retrieve them , they lay rotting for a month. When will Russian people wake up and realise your government does not care about your sons in life or death.
  • @mrb.5610
    Putin really doesn't give a f for any human life - Ukrainian, Russian, military or civilian.
  • @vesnasaric5797
    Passionate and painful, watching one human life end, regardless of any nationality !!! I am against all violence and war! 😱😰😥😢😢
