The latest from mobilized Russian soldiers in Ukraine

@ChrisO_wiki

1/ Russian mobilised soldiers from Krasnodar complain that they have been "thrown out like dogs" in the fields of Ukraine, with no information, no orders, no radio, no ammunition and no medicine, and live in holes dug out with their bare hands, as they have no shovels.

1/ Russian mobilised soldiers from Krasnodar complain that they have been "thrown out like dogs" in the fields of Ukraine, with no information, no orders, no radio, no ammunition and no medicine, and live in holes dug out with their bare hands, as they have no shovels. ⬇️




3/ For a month we were, like, being prepared for something, it is not clear what for, fuck. We were being transported back and forth, fuck. And now, it turns out, we are somewhere in the fields of Ukraine. We were just thrown out like dogs, here, really, in the fields.

4/ No shovel, nothing with us ... We live just in the field, fuck. No, no, they bring some food, literally two times a day. We burn fires, chop trees, fuck, dig, what God sent, fuck ... They gave us Kalash[nikovs] and bayonets, fuck. And guys, dig as you want, fuck.

5/ There is no information, no command. We sit, fuck, like [we're] on needles, because we do not know where [are] our own, where the strangers [enemy]. No radio, no cartridges, no shit. What is this, fuck? Our Ministry of Defence is so class.

6/ We are all sick, no medicine, nothing. There are no medicines, two people are already [so sick] that they need to be hospitalised. Here they were treated, how to say, fuck. With their own drugs, who has what, fuck.




8/ Therefore, I would like to show our authorities, fuck, who promised to recruit people for the universities, for good medical care, shouted that we have, that a person is a little sick, fuck, he is sent to the hospital.

9/ Then he is not sent anywhere, he lies in the dugout, fuck, snarls blood, fuck. Do you think this is normal? There is nothing normal here. There is a proverb, yes, a full soldier, dressed soldier, he is ready to fight.

10/ So do you first, fuck, distribute people who should be to the universities ... [We are] just like a guerrilla detachment.



12/ This is what is happening here. This is how our guerrilla Krasnodar detachment lives. Somewhere in the fields of Ukraine. Where are our people, where are strangers? /end

or are they calling it a war now? Russian citizens will be forced to face the truth sooner than later as more are drafted and killed in time for Winter.

A special military op when he called for mobilization. I still like my estimate of 2 to 3 years from February before Putin is replaced. The only thing that can f it up is friends of Putin in the western Allies cutting off aid to Ukraine. But I don’t think it will happen.

NATO will help as much as they can to keep Ukrainians from freezing, but Putin won't do anything to help his soldiers.
