1
00:00:00,540 --> 00:00:06,180
According to media reports, untrained mobilized
men from the Irkutsk region of Russia as part
2
00:00:06,180 --> 00:00:13,440
of Regiment 1439 were sent in early March to
storm the Avdiivka fortification near Donetsk.
3
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:15,900
Most of these soldiers did not return alive.
4
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:21,540
Relatives of two soldiers who were mobilized
from the Irkutsk region and who were involved
5
00:00:21,540 --> 00:00:25,740
in the attack informed journalists that
almost the entire unit had been destroyed,
6
00:00:25,740 --> 00:00:30,660
with only a few soldiers wounded and the rest
presumed liquidated or missing in action.
7
00:00:31,500 --> 00:00:36,600
The wife of one of the soldiers spoke with
reporters and expressed her concerns, "My husband
8
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:42,720
called me - he has shrapnel wounds and is in the
hospital. He told me that there is nothing left of
9
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:48,240
the unit. He will only be given a week to recover,
then they will send him back to the front lines!"
10
00:00:49,380 --> 00:00:53,100
Government officials from Irkutsk have
traveled to the occupied territory
11
00:00:53,100 --> 00:00:57,300
in Donetsk to investigate and find out
what happened to the mobilized soldiers.
12
00:00:57,900 --> 00:01:03,540
On February 27, the soldiers had already made
their third appeal to Putin, complaining about
13
00:01:03,540 --> 00:01:07,380
the lack of support from the command of
the so-called "Donetsk People's Republic".
14
00:01:07,380 --> 00:01:12,660
According to the soldiers they were sent to attack
without proper reconnaissance, communication,
15
00:01:12,660 --> 00:01:18,780
or artillery support. Furthermore, when the
mobilized soldiers complained that they could
16
00:01:18,780 --> 00:01:23,340
not carry out orders, they were threatened with
prosecution for desertion : "If you are charged
17
00:01:23,340 --> 00:01:26,820
with desertion, you will have problems
with the military police and command,
18
00:01:26,820 --> 00:01:31,320
we will break you up into groups of two and send
you to an attack where you will not return."
19
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:36,180
It should be noted that the mobilized
soldiers are not trained in combat,
20
00:01:36,180 --> 00:01:41,220
and most of them work in civilian fields such
as construction, driving, and management.
21
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:46,680
Many of these soldiers are over 40 years
old and suffer from chronic illnesses.
22
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:52,500
The soldiers further claim that the command
only removes lightly injured soldiers from
23
00:01:52,500 --> 00:01:58,080
the battlefield. However, heavily injured and
eliminated soldiers are left behind because
24
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:03,120
the command is afraid of losing military
equipment. Deceased Russian soldiers are
25
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:08,100
registered as missing in action, and the wounded
are only evacuated once a day on stretchers.
26
00:02:08,100 --> 00:02:12,780
Journalists report that the military police
have detained the deputy commander of a
27
00:02:12,780 --> 00:02:16,560
battalion who was attempting to explain
to the command that "yesterday's drivers,
28
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:20,580
welders, furniture makers, and scrap
metal collectors cannot be part of
29
00:02:20,580 --> 00:02:24,180
an elite assault unit and do not
have the necessary skills for it.
30
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:29,640
After a year of full-scale invasion, they
still hope for the mercy of their lord.
31
00:02:30,300 --> 00:02:35,340
They ask three times each, hoping that their lord
does not know what is happening on the front.
32
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,540
He will look at the request and
pity the poor and unfortunate who
33
00:02:39,540 --> 00:02:43,920
should not have been sent into battle.
They all support their lord's actions,
34
00:02:43,920 --> 00:02:48,360
but preferably without taking their butt off
the couch and holding a beer in their hands.
35
00:02:49,260 --> 00:02:53,880
But I have bad news for you, he knows,
and he doesn't care about any of you.
36
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,960
He doesn't care about the 140
million people in his country,
37
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:03,720
yes - his country. It belongs only to
him and a bunch of his closest friends.
38
00:03:04,500 --> 00:03:09,180
And you are just expendable material in the
plans of a small tyrant of a huge country.
