How desperate is Putin over Ukraine’s incursion into Russia? I’ll tell you. Hundreds of Russians who have refused to fight have been held at a military base in Kamenka, St Petersburg. Some are in their 70s, or too sick to walk, or blind. They’re being flown out to Kursk today to fight.
I've seen a few videos of the new 'disabled regiments,' made up of troops who've already been wounded in combat being sent back to Ukraine. But if true, this is a new low. It's not even a good idea!
Surely they'll all just give themselves up to Ukraine.
Part of the challenge is that I don't think anyone wants to be in charge of defence - if you're too incompetent you'll be shot, if you're too competent you're a threat to Putin and you'll be shot. If you can walk that line you might be a political genius, in which case stay away from windows!
Good grief. Putin really is insane, isn’t he?
Just as you think Putin couldn't sink any lower, he finds new depths. That's barbaric. Blind people?
Putin knows that he will not survive losing. It’s literally do or die!
I hope the Ukrainians are ready for a lot of defectors.
Really? Even for that hideous murdering cunt dictator Putin this is next level fucked
This makes me sad. I have never been one to believe I should vilify a people for what their government does. Russia sending sick old men to their death is frankly disgusting.
