Soldiers from the Murmansk region appealed to the governor of the region, Andrey Chibis, with complaints about the conditions during "combat training." Video published by Astra.
In the footage, the men claim that they have to live on the street in tents:
“This is how we live, in dugouts, damn it. Fucking army, damn it."
One of the soldiers said that he was a volunteer, but during combat training he was never taught anything, and he fired only two times:
“Comrade Chibis, I myself came to the war as a volunteer, and they write a report on me that I drink. They don’t teach me anything like that, I shot twice.”
Earlier, mobilized from the Kemerovo region recorded a video message to the governor, complaining about the lack of medicines and thermal underwear. Military personnel from different regions regularly try to gain support from the authorities by posting videos online. In recent months alone, dozens of videos have been posted in which mobilized people complain about the attitude of the command, the lack of food, water and clothing. Many people are worried about the payments promised for the war, also at many points of preparation and even at the front they complain about rusty weapons. At the same time, propaganda is trying to blame the mobilized – for example, one of its representatives, Vladimir Solovyov, believes that the military personnel themselves are to blame for poor preparation. He addressed them on the air of his program with the words: “And you will talk about yourself: your commander is not the same, and you have not been trained like that. And how did you prepare yourself? And what did you do at the training ground to be ready for battle?
