The Gulagu.net project published a video in which Russian mobilized people ask for help to leave the territory of Ukraine. Relatives of the men contacted the human rights activists and said that the mobilized were thrown under mortar attacks without preparation and communication with the command, and after they retreated and went to look for a military unit, they began to threaten them with an article on desertion.
The wife of one of the mobilized recorded her husband's conversation with the military police, who came to deal with the men in the Lugansk region. The recording is available to The Insider. In it, the mobilized are indignant that they were “told in the face” (refuse to say who) that they would leave the region with “two hundredths”: “Do we have any rights at all? They want to tear us out of our families and “over two hundred”. Other mobilized will then be placed. We were told it to the face."
We are talking about soldiers from unit No. 91711, 252nd regiment, separate rifle battalion, 2nd company, 1st platoon. From the beginning of October, they were in the Lugansk region in the direction of Svatovo – Makeevka. They were sent there after a two-week "preparation": relatives say that they shot 4 times at the training ground and "dug trenches." The mobilized were under shelling of the Ukrainian Armed Forces from mortars – only with grenades and machine guns.
At the end of October, according to their relatives, they were transferred even closer to the shelling zone of the Armed Forces of Ukraine – without any connection with the command: “For several days they hid from shelling, someone was seriously injured, someone was killed. Our guys ran out of provisions and water, there was no ammunition. Ate what they find, drank from a puddle. They just sent them to their deaths."
After that, the men decided to retreat and went to look for the nearest military unit. There are 39 left in total. On October 28, they went to a military unit in the Luhansk region, where they were ordered to lay down their arms. It turned out that, according to the documents, the soldiers were at the scene illegally, and they supposedly should have been in the Belgorod region. The men were "sent on foot to the Rostov region."
Relatives of the mobilized ordered a bus for them, which was supposed to pick up men from Starobilsk, they were waiting at the Chertkovo checkpoint. However, the soldiers never reached the Belgorod military unit. At the checkpoint, they were taken by the military commandant's office and taken to the Lugansk village of Melovoye. Now 39 people want to be charged with desertion.
At the same time, in a telephone conversation between the commander of the commandant's office and the commander of the Belgorod military unit, from where the mobilized were sent to war, it turned out that the unit did not have the slightest idea about the location of 39 soldiers.
“This is the extermination of our men. Not even an enemy, but their own commanders! ”The relatives complain.
