MEMBERS of Putin’s brutal private army are believed to have beaten a Russian conscript to death using a sledgehammer after he joined the Ukraine army. Convicted murderer Yevgeny Nuzhin, 55, is seen being smashed in the face with a sledgehammer in a barbaric uncensored video in what is deemed an extrajudicial killing by the notorious Wagner group. He is thought to have been killed “for treachery”. In September there had been reports that the convicted killer had defected to Ukraine soon after arriving to fight for Vladimir Putin at the front. He spoke on video at the time saying he had felt like “cannon fodder” in the Russian forces. He told a Ukrainian journalist Yury Butusov that he had decided in advance to surrender to Ukraine, where some of his family live. According to pro-Russia source Grey Zone, he was later kidnapped by pro-Moscow forces and made to answer by Wagner – which is headed by close Putin crony Yevgeny Prizohin – for his treachery. The media outlet posted the graphic and grotesque video, calling it: “Hammer of Vengeance.” (…) He is then hit evidently by a long-handled mallet, and after falling backwards is struck again. “Those who understand know that a sledgehammer and traitors have a close relationship,” said the pro-Wagner Grey Zone Telegram channel. Founder of the military charity Dzyga’s Paw Dimko Zhluktenko, who claims to have known Nuzhin, wrote on Twitter: “That is why this morning is very tough for me mentally.
