| Queen commemorative newspapers ‘They didn't give us a tent': New Russian recruits abandoned in warzone's cold, dark field |
| 2022-09-30 |
| [Sun UK] Vladimir Putin’s order to mobilise an additional 300,000 reserve troops has come as intelligence reports claim the Russian military is struggling to provide even the most basic supplies to servicemen. Video footage of Russian soldiers abandoned in a field without essential rations or shelter has emerged on social media as the Kremlin continues to draft thousands more to continue the "special military operation". The clip followed earlier reports which claimed Russian conscripts had been handed rusted and poorly maintained weapons to defend occupied territory in Ukraine. In the video published on Twitter by investigative journalist Mark Krutov, a group of Russian men, reported to be recently mobilised soldiers, are filmed gathered in a remote field caked in snow. The men appear to be carrying some limited supplies, including roll mats for camping, although one man claims they have not been provided with a tent or any food for their stay. "Only a round of bullet!" There appears to be no clear hierarchy among the mobilised troops as, in the absence of a leader, some of the men wander aimlessly around the area while others stand huddled around a small fire in a bid to fend off the freezing conditions. |
