Russian troops voice discontent over dire combat conditions
Russian soldiers have been engaged in the conflict in Ukraine for nearly three years. Although they are the aggressors, they are now suddenly beginning to feel the hardships of military service and are speaking about it openly. In one of the recordings, they display their injured arms and question how they are supposed to fight in such a condition.
War is a brutal and ruthless phenomenon for both sides involved in it. Russians, whose commanders and leaders do not take human losses into account, are also experiencing the inhuman side of the conflict. In a recording from the front that has surfaced online, Putin's soldiers openly complain about their "working conditions." A group of soldiers from the 70th Motorized Regiment, likely hidden somewhere in a bunker or basement, are requesting immediate assistance due to their condition.
It is 7 January 2025, Greenwich Time. Help us. Disabled men are being sent on combat missions. This problem needs to be solved. What is the issue? Forty people are going tomorrow with broken arms and gunshot wounds. Many have broken bones, shattered nerves. People are barely walking, says the voice in the recording.
One of the soldiers displayed a painful arm. - How is he supposed to reload his weapon? - asks his comrade. The Russians are appealing for any measures to be taken to assist them in these difficult times.
Russian losses in Ukraine
No wonder the Russians have aching limbs - they embarked on a brutal war, which they fully support themselves.
The losses of the Russians at the front are staggering. According to various estimates, they have lost between 600,000 to 800,000 soldiers, of which about 200,000 have died in combat. The others are unable to continue participating in the "special military operation," as Kremlin propagandists call the war in Ukraine.
