Remnants of Russian Platoon Refuse to Fight After ‘Bulls–t’ Mobilization to Donbas
A Russian officer fighting in the Donbas region of Ukraine released a defiant video saying that he and whatever was left of his decimated platoon were refusing to follow orders after being forced to attack settlements without any training.
The recording, which spread on Telegram channels this week, shed light on the purported chaos within the ranks of Vladimir Putin’s draftees mobilized in Ukraine.
In the brief video, a man in a baseball cap who introduces himself as a senior lieutenant stands in front of a group of about 10 soldiers assembled in a bare room with a single light bulb hanging overhead and reads a statement from a sheet of paper.
“We were herded to attack villages absolutely without any training,” he says, adding that conscripts in their 40s were forced to fight “without reconnaissance, without communications, without scouting, without anything.”
The Post could not independently verify the video’s authenticity, and it’s unclear when or where it was recorded. (Read more from “Remnants of Russian Platoon Refuse to Fight After ‘Bulls–t’ Mobilization to Donbas” HERE)
