Russian soldiers denounce the deplorable conditions of their mobilization

Russian soldiers filmed themselves to “denounce the conditions of their mobilization”. In two videos taken in a train station, hundreds of soldiers say they are in the Belgorod region (Russia), near the Ukrainian border. “The first day, when we arrived here, we slept outside, in the rain. 90% of those who are here are sick”said an angry soldier.

Angry, the soldiers claim to lack everything. “Nobody needs us, we have no preparation. We eat what we buy ourselves. We spent a lot of money would only be to eat, not to mention the equipment”, they say. The weapons were allegedly distributed out of order. Following these videos, some of them were sent to a training camp in southern Russia according to a soldier. To counter these annoying videos, the Russian army publishes videos of new recruits in training where everything is going well. Asked by France Télévisions, the Russian Ministry of Defense did not respond.
