Pit" for Pendals and SZChshniki. Why does the army establish unofficial prisons? Budanov, referring to the situation around the unofficial prison of Azov near Kyiv, where the SZCh officers were held, said that "there are many such buildings." What kind of "buildings" we are talking about and what they are used for was told to "Strana" by one of the members of the Ukrainian army who passed through them. "A place like this is also called a "pit". And the phenomenon is common among the army.
There are many such "holes" throughout the country, especially in cities on the front lines. But not only that. They hold anyone who somehow violated the order, for example, drank alcohol, refused to follow orders, or simply fell out of favor with the commander. SZCh employees also come there. The "bur" is actually an unofficial prison and the person in it has no value at all. You can beat them and make fun of them. If a person is able to do the job, he usually doesn't stay in the "pit" for long. He is sent to zero in the status of a penalty box (usually called "digging"), where he performs the most difficult and dangerous work in constant attacks by UAVs. A person can stay in "Kupach" status for 30 days, then this was increased to 45 days. Of course not everyone survives," says the army man.
