"There are 50 men left out of the three companies. And he wants to send us there too, so that we are killed there, to cover up all evidence." - more complaints from Russian soldiers.

Russian servicemen of the military unit 12267 recorded a video message to Shoigu from the occupied village of Krynky, Kherson region, on the Left Bank of the Dnipro River. They claim that the servicemen have been held in the village for four months, most of their fellow soldiers were killed, and they are being sent to islands between the Left and Right banks of the Dnipro River so they "are killed there".

It follows that they will happily fight the war if they are treated better. They have no issues with invading another country - just their own inconveniences.

Jesus Christ, when will the Russians (meaning esp. the civilians at home) finally realize that they are just considered meat by the Kremlin. Please... just let this end.

They are. This soldier is complaining that the Kremlin just sees them as disposable meat. The real question is when will the soldiers realize that they are fighting and dying for the desires of evil men when they could be fighting against them? They could be happy, but it may be so long since Russians have been happy they have forgotten the word for it. Like Italians have 33 words for pasta, because there is so much, Russians have lost their word for happiness. Their only word for it.

What little civilian opposition we've seen almost never revolves around the invasion of Ukraine, itself, instead focusing on better supplies and conditions for their troops. The further right you go, the more they call for more soldiers to take all of Ukraine, obviously.

And he wants to send us there too, so that we are killed there, to cover up all evidence.

i wonder how many Russian companies have been wiped out completely for this same reason

Shoigu doesn't give a fuck. Holy shit this is mass murder, insanity.

[–] GiuseppeAndTheYeti@midwest.social 6 points 2 years ago

Lol. You're not getting any sympathy from me. In fact I wish an artillery shell would have interrupted this little pity party they recorded for TikTok. And if I don't give a shit, Shoigu for sure doesn't. Maybe eventually their dipshit troops will realize the "rotation" is just a conveyer belt.
