Russian propagandist have been saying this over and over since Russia INVADED its neighborRussian units have come back with renewed vigor Released convicts and death squads to shoot their own retreating soldiers
Only Russia uses ‘barrier troops’ or ‘Blocking units’ – did in WWI and WWII and now Ukraine
