Putin sends inexperienced youth to the front: Gerashchenko exposes betrayal
On the Ukrainian front, many young Russian soldiers are fighting. These are mainly conscripts who promised they would not have to participate in direct combat. However, brutal reality paints a different picture. The former Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, Anton Gerashchenko, published a recording showing the visible faces of Russian soldiers.
Anton Gerashchenko is a Ukrainian politician, civil servant, and activist who gained international attention, particularly during the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.
Gerashchenko is known for his activities in national security and combating Russian propaganda. His efforts also include working to expose Russian war crimes and human rights violations during the conflict.
The politician is active on social media, where he regularly posts information about the situation in Ukraine. His posts are often widely shared and cited, and this time was no different.
He showed who Putin is sending to war
Vladimir Putin, the President of Russia, has been struggling to recruit new soldiers for combat since the beginning of the invasion of Ukraine. As a result of increasing losses on the front, Russia is increasingly turning to young soldiers who often have little to no military experience.
Putin promised that conscripts would not be sent to the front line. This declaration aimed to reassure the parents and relatives of the young soldiers and avoid widespread resistance to mobilization. However, as reality shows, these promises were broken - soldiers found themselves in the heart of the conflict, facing experienced Ukrainian armed forces.
Young Russians often stand little chance in such clashes and pay the ultimate price. Those who manage to survive usually end up in Ukrainian captivity.
Anton Gerashchenko posted a recording online showing captured young Russian soldiers. Their faces, full of fear and uncertainty, reflect the dramatic situation they found themselves in.
Look at these young faces. These are Russian conscripts. Putin sent them to fight against the experienced Ukrainian army. It was Putin who guaranteed that they would not be involved in direct combat, but, as always, he deceived them. - wrote Anton Gerashchenko under the recording on the X platform.
