Mobilized from the 1252 regiment from the Ulyanovsk region recorded a video message in which they were asked to be transferred to the Wagner PMC. The military said they lacked food, water and ammunition. In addition, the command does not evacuate the wounded members of the regiment.
“Hey everyone! We are mobilized 1252 regiments from the Ulyanovsk region. At the moment, 374 OSBs have been assigned. Due to the fact that our command does not carry out the delivery of provisions, water, ammunition on time, the evacuation of the wounded is not carried out, we have gathered here. We all voluntarily came to defend our Motherland, but due to the current situation, we want to defend the Motherland in Wagner PMC units, so that we know that there is a rear behind our backs, we will be taken out at any time and ammunition will be brought here. We came to drown for the Motherland, we want to fight, and not to be abandoned like kittens and forgotten,” the mobilized said.
It is noteworthy that the military talks about the irregular supply of ammunition and cites this as one of the reasons they want Wagner in the PMC. At the same time, the mercenaries themselves also suffer from a lack of ammunition, as the founder of the group, recidivist Yevgeny Prigozhin, regularly speaks about. On May 9, his press services published a half-hour video on his Telegram channel, in which he once again talks about this problem, as well as about the cowardice of the Russian regular army.
