A deputy Russian commander is facing the horrific prospect of fighting for war mad Vladimir Putin's army in Ukraine as punishment.

The unnamed man, who is under the leadership of Denis Valeryevich – one of the two men behind Russian fake news website InfoRos – allegedly filmed himself in bed with two naked women.

This caused outrage within the military school he taught at as he had apparently asked for time off, but nobody knew why.

According to a report by Baza Media, he had been identified by the enraged authorities after the video went viral on Russian social media and is now threatened with being sent to fight.

His name has not been made public, but the video shows him semi-naked making a video request to Commander Valeryevich to be allowed to report for duty late the next day.

“Please allow me to report late for duty tomorrow by lunch time, so I can grab a bit of sleep,” he says, with the naked women on the bed behind him.

“Brother, let me sleep for a bit, I am on duty tomorrow, and everything will be fine tomorrow.”

“Brother, I know you’ll give me time off.”

"As a result of the video he is threatened with being sent to the [war],” reported Baza, which has close links to law enforcement, the secret services and the military.

“He serves as a deputy platoon commander in one of the combined arms schools.”

He has already received two “reprimands” over the video for bringing Putin’s military machine into disrepute and faces a formal disciplinary commission at which he is expected to face further sanctions.

The news comes just a few days after President Putin signed a decree calling up another 147,000 more troops to his depleted army, which started happening today (April 1).

According to anti-Putin Russian news outlet Meduza, the draft end on July 15.

Russia is also planning to raise the draft age from 27 to 30 in 2024, while moving the younger age bracket from 18 to 21.
