Mobilized from the 1439th regiment from the Irkutsk region recorded a video message to Vladimir Putin, in which they complained about the conditions of service. The military said that at first they served in the territorial defense, but then they were transferred to the First Slavic Brigade of the “DPR”. There, from those mobilized in one day, assault units were formed, which, without preparation, are sent to storm Avdiivka. At those who refuse to join the assault units, the commanders of the “DPR”, according to the mobilized, shoot from machine guns and infantry fighting vehicles.
“They are sent to storm the Avdiivka fortified area without any support, artillery, communications, sappers, or reconnaissance. To the slaughter. And the command directly says that we are all consumables and the only chance to return home is to get injured. We don’t know the names and ranks of the commanders, since they don’t tell us them, ”the military man says in a video message.
The military also emphasize that there is no point in contacting the local military prosecutor's office. According to them, she is in collusion with the command. That, in turn, is not present at the front and does not know the real situation. One of the authors of the appeal also told People of Baikal that the commanders from the DPR were “prejudiced” towards them: ““Go and die” is the most beautiful thing we heard from the commanders”
