The mothers and wives of mobilized men from the village of Zhukovo, Kursk Region, recorded a video message so that everyone “sees and knows what is happening in Russia with those who have been drafted into our beloved army.” They demanded that the officials find their loved ones, who stopped communicating a week ago.
According to the women, the conscripts were abandoned "in the woods without food, water and command in the Kharkiv region." Where exactly they are is unknown.
One of the women in the video says that men were thrown into the war unprepared and starts to cry. Another tells about her son with a brain injury, hypertension and other diseases: “He has been taking pills for 20 years. He arrived, everyone was shocked that he did not serve, but they took him away. Help me please".
Wives and mothers have already applied to the military enlistment offices, to Governor Roman Starovoit and to television, but, according to them, there is no answer.
“It becomes scary that we have now come to defend our guys who went to defend our great power. Respond to our grief! they asked.
Previously, the video message was recorded by relatives of those mobilized from the Bryansk region - they turned to President Vladimir Putin and asked to return their men to Russia. Women also complained about the officers at the Soloti training ground in Belgorod, where their relatives were taken. On October 15, a mass execution took place at this training ground. According to the women, the mobilized were threatened, and the foremen robbed them, taking away their uniforms.
