Vladimir Putin‘s forces have been caught red handed going on a looting spree in their own country amid the Ukrainian invasion of Kursk.
The Russian ‘defenders’ took advantage of the chaos caused by the stunning cross-border incursion launched by Kyiv‘s forces almost two weeks ago to steal goods from a mobile phone shop.
A quartet of Moscow‘s soldiers are seen helping themselves in a MegaFon store in frontline town of Glushkovo in shocking security footage.
At least three of the four are thought to be from the elite Chechen assault force Akhmat, which was partially responsible for defending the border in Kursk, it is believed.
They smash their way in by breaking a window before spending more than five minutes breaking into display cabinets and filling their pockets with tech.
The group is later seen attempting to break into a storeroom where they suspect more phones are hidden.
They repeatedly batter the lock with a fire extinguisher before kicking the door to no avail.
Eventually, they manage to bust a hole in the door and appear close to opening it when one of the group spots the security camera.
The CCTV footage draws to an abrupt close when one of the fighters smashes the camera.
