During the shelling of the Belgorod region, three conscripts from the Sverdlovsk region were killed, reports E1. This happened on June 1, when a shell hit the car they were in. In addition to them, seven people were injured, two of whom are in serious condition.
Commissioner for Human Rights in the Sverdlovsk Region Tatyana Merzlyakova turned to the head of the General Staff of the Russian Federation Gerasimov and asked to return the conscripts from the Urals who ended up on the territories of Russia bordering Ukraine.
Merzlyakova said that "we still should not use guys who are not prepared at all." At the same time, she mentioned that they, “of course, did not participate in hostilities,” and also said that the governor of the Sverdlovsk region, Kuyvashev, instructed to provide conscripts with a “worthy” farewell.
Earlier, the publication "7×7" wrote that conscripts began to be brought to the Belgorod region. At least seven of them died. Their relatives said that the soldiers were placed so close to the border that they could see what the Ukrainian soldiers were doing in their positions. At the same time, formally, they are really outside the combat zone. It was also reported that these conscripts are practically not taught to shoot and handle weapons.
