*“This is a message we are conveying to the command of the Airborne Troops and the command of the AFU from the 3rd Airmobile Company of the Separate Airmobile Battalion of the 25th Secheslav Airmobile Brigade.
We were sent on a combat mission to hold separate combat positions. We did not receive proper armament and artillery support. As a result, 70% of the company was killed or wounded. We did not have and do not have combat equipment and proper armament. We did not even have the equipment to evacuate the injured, due to which several wounded did not survive.
We spent more than a month in the trenches transmitting coordinates never fired upon by artillery. Platoon sergeants fled their positions in the first days and were transferred by Chief of Staff Kipinach, now acting battalion commander. We are demanding the transfer of the entire unit.”*
70% casualties…
c’mon, mutiny.
Maybe there already were some mutinees, but we did not heard about it.
We’d probably have heard of them in Russian media
Do the Russians have a policy for mutineers in this war? I think at this point if they started dropping propaganda promising clemency to surrendering soldiers they’d get a lot of people crossing the line.
And yet the war drags on
