Russian soldiers can refuse to fight?

[sbrothy]

According to this article from The Guardian russian "troops" can refuse to fight and expect "light" punishment as the country is not officially at war.

I cannot help but wonder why any russian soldiers would fight at all then? Surely this cannot be true?

Proscripted soldiers probably don't have this "choice"...

This is likely fake news, and will almost certainly not lead to a useful discussion. Thread is locked.
