The Armed Forces thought it was their own: Russians resorted to forbidden tactics

To spread: the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation applied treacherous tactics, which is forbidden by the Geneva Conventions, and the world learned about it, because the commander of the Cadyrivs Alaudinov told about the tricks of the Russians. During the attacks on the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kursk region, the Russian army used Ukrainian distinctive signs to think that it was their own and did not resist. This is stated in the report of the American Institute for War Study (ISW).

"The commander of the special forces" Akhmat "Major-General of Pharma Alaudinov described the recent tactics of deception by Russia, which can be equated with acts of treachery-a war crime in accordance with the Geneva Convention," the report reads. Analysts have specified that Russian troops used a blue insulation tape during surgery using an underground pipeline. The tape of the same color was used by Ukrainian troops.

Alaudinov argued that Russian troops used a blue isolation tape to "not let the Ukrainian military understand what was happening", as well as to ensure that Ukrainian servicemen "thought that their own units were on its own. " "Ukrainian drone operators would see people with a blue isolation ribbon and decide that these are their own units," the ISW said.

Thus, Russian troops tried to "sow panic in Ukrainian benches", which would allow the Russian forces to "cause maximum harm" while the Ukrainian troops were "disassembled". Alaudinov emphasized that the Russian forces had to have a blue ribbon during the first 24 hours of surgery, and then to change it to red - the color, which is traditionally used for the Russian Armed Forces for distinctive signs.

Analysts emphasized that the Geneva Convention defines treachery as "actions aimed at trusting the enemy in order to force him to believe that he has the right to defense and is obliged to provide such protection in accordance with the rules of international law used in the period of armed conflicts. " We will remind, analysts found an unusual granary of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in Kursk region.
