"Russian Soldiers' Plea: Abandoned by Drunk Commander, Struggling to Survive"

Around 50 mobilized Russian troops in Ukraine sent a video to their families, pleading for help, as they claimed they were being led by a "drunk commander" and sent to the frontlines without food, ammunition, or fire support. The soldiers alleged that they were ordered to reinforce unmined positions and faced heavy fire from enemy tanks, mortars, and missiles. They protested their orders but were threatened with imprisonment or death if they refused. The troops also mentioned receiving only partial and delayed salaries. The authenticity of the video and the details of their deployment could not be independently verified.
