Mobilized citizens of the Russian Federation sent to the Taman Division and Belgorod recorded videos complaining about the living conditions and organization of the exercises.


According to the 1st Taman Division mobilized from the 3rd Company of the 1st Tank Battalion, no documents were signed. The assault rifles were issued, but not fixed in the military card. There are also no seals on the military ID. Mobilized, according to him, are not officially issued in any way, bank accounts are not open for wages. Future fighters were "spread" through the forests, where they lived for six days in trenches dug on their own.

"The tents don't give, they lived in dugouts. At the moment, there are 400 of us, we are not going to go anywhere and are waiting for help from the state," said the mobilized.

The complaint was also received from those mobilized from the Belgorod region.

"We are 500 people with weapons, we are not assigned to absolutely any part, we lived in cattle conditions for a week, no material support. Nothing at all. It is not known who is going where, the weapon is on hand, but it is not written on us. Cattle attitude from officers, no one needs us, preparations are zero, we buy food ourselves, not to mention ammunition," complain the mobilized.

Shoigu announced 200 000 mobilized, Ukraine has information of 92 000 concentrated in training grounds. Multiple problems with drafting and equipment, weapons. Ukrainian officers doubt ability to create task forces at operational and even sub-battalion level. If this goes on, even recruiting 17 million won’t change much on battlefield. New record from recruitment to death in battlefield – 4 days. Medical care is non-existing, there isn’t even clothing and food for mobilized.

Russians captured near Kherson have lost 10-15kg, have blank eyes, they absolutely don’t trust command, can’t establish communications for 3 days. Those were contract solders from elite Russian units.
