About 90 Russian conscripts who refused to return to the front lines have been held for a month on the territory of the former Beryozka children's camp in the village of Makarovo, Luhansk region. This is reported by Astra in the Telegram channel, referring to the wife of one of the mobilized from the Sverdlovsk region.
In a conversation with relatives, the servicemen said that they were not fed, they were not given water and they were trying to break them physically and psychologically.
“I don't know what will happen to us. We are 88 people, we go to the end. <…> Documents are not returned, they are not taken to the Rostov region. They are doing everything to take us to the front."
Astra's interlocutor said that her husband was called up on September 27, on the same day he and other conscripts arrived in Yekaterinburg at military camp No. 32. On September 28, the mobilized arrived in Rostov-on-Don, and in the evening they arrived in Makarovo. After three days of exercises, the men were taken to Zmeevka to dig trenches, and on October 31, in the area of the settlement of Ploschanka, they were fired upon, and the car was bombed. For three days, the mobilized lay in the field, with only machine guns, without the ability to shoot. Then, on the orders of the commander, the servicemen returned to Zmeevka, but the commander ordered them to return to Ploschanka. Most of the mobilized refused and wrote explanatory notes, after which their weapons were taken away from them and taken to the camp.
There they are threatened by employees of the military prosecutor's office and commanders, they are forced to sign a contract for 3 years. When the men tried to record a video of how the command communicates with them, one of the commanders noticed and broke the phone.
After the “partial” mobilization was announced in Russia, dozens of videos were posted on social networks in which the mobilized complain about the poor attitude of the command in the units, the lack of uniforms, payments, and even food. Military personnel do not want to go to war with rusty weapons from the 1970s and without proper training.
