The National Resistance Center receives a lot of information about the conversations of the Russian invaders in the rear of the captured cities. We decided to structure this information.
MOBILIZATION
As you know, hidden mobilization continues in Russia. This is the first point where all the horrors of military service in the Russian Federation begin. On the territory of the Russian Federation, men of all ages are subject to conscription. Similarly, people of different ages, different physical abilities, skills and abilities are sent to the line of combat operations.
Today, the situation with mobilization is critical. That is why the command of the Russian Armed Forces involves contractors and conscripts in the combat operations, as the military themselves say they have “run out of mobilized people.”
Enrollment in higher education institutions is one of the ways to avoid mobilization. Therefore, due to the insufficient number of military personnel, the command of the Russian Armed Forces decided to involve people serving sentences in penal colonies and correctional facilities in combat operations.
Assault brigades are formed from prisoners or people who have committed an administrative offense. According to some of the inmates, it was established that from time to time mobilization commissions arrive at the correctional facilities and offer to sign a contract for military service in exchange for “freedom”.
As an incentive, upon release from the colony to the place of service, the state pays a one-time allowance of 30,000 rubles. Among themselves, the military call such colleagues “veshkas”. In common parlance, they are “Wagnerians” or “Wagnerites”.
That is, people serving sentences for serious or especially serious crimes are offered to sign contracts for military service in the ranks of the Russian Armed Forces. This implies that serving in the Russian armed forces is the same as serving a sentence. Civilian men realized the complexity of the situation when they found themselves in the same trench as a serial killer or a rapist, for example. As a rule, former prisoners are sent to the so-called “meat assaults”. It is worth noting that some convicts signed contracts without a court order for release.
Another way to get into the “hot troops” is to be brought to the police. It is enough for a wife to call the police and inform law enforcement about her husband’s domestic violence. In order to prevent the victim from repeating a possible incident, the abuser is served with a summons. After that, the man is automatically sent to the assault brigade.
Thus, according to the Russian military, it follows that all prisoners and those who got into the army through the police have only one way to go – the assault brigade, where there is almost no chance of survival.
SUPPLY
After going through all the stages of enlistment in the ranks of the Russian armed forces, a soldier faces the issue of supply and logistics. According to the interviewees, the command does not care about the soldiers in the “hot” spots. Thus, the military report that food and water have not been supplied for a long time.
It is also impossible to receive parcels with clothes and food. People are forced to drink water from rivers and reservoirs nearby. In this regard, military personnel have developed diseases related to dysentery.
One of the ways of survival for the Russian soldiers is to go to the trenches to get food or water. However, not everyone is able to accomplish this task due to their weakness. That is why the Russian military came up with the “dress up as a grandmother” method. This method is very risky, as is the method of robbing the trenches of our troops.
Whenever possible, Russian Federation soldiers disguise themselves as women by covering their heads with head scarves or other female headdresses in order to go to a store and buy food for the unit. According to some shop assistants, such “women” buy stew, canned food, water and bread.
As for the provision of uniforms to the military, it is a joke. In winter they are given summer uniforms, in summer – winter uniforms.
One of the interesting moments was the fact that the command of the Russian Armed Forces gives instructions to their subordinates to save ammunition.
MEDICINE
The situation with the provision of medical care is as critical as the situation with the supply. All over Russia, people complain that there are no medics on the front line and that they have to provide medical care for themselves. Bullet or shrapnel wounds are worthless and are regarded as just a hole that can be anointed with brilliant green. After receiving “brilliant green therapy,” the Russian army is sent back to the assault. Seriously wounded soldiers are placed in pits because of the inability to evacuate them and the indifference of the top leadership.
In a conversation between Russian soldiers, it was also established that there are a lot of dead soldiers lying in the fields, in pits and around trenches. Bodies are everywhere.
Sometimes, commanders of units or detachments forbid the Russian soldiers to leave their combat positions for treatment and inform them that they can be treated on the spot, without going to hospitals or places of medical care.
FINANCING
One of the key reasons why Russians go to war is the financial support. However, from conversations between the military themselves, it is known that salaries are either delayed for a long period or not paid at all. Therefore, this fact is also decisive in the issue of desertion.
As in any life story, there must be notes of cynicism and mercantilism. Thus, in their communication with each other, Russian military personnel tell stories about how their wives send their husbands to war.
It has also been established that unit and squad commanders also have plans for the money that their subordinates receive. Thus, from the story of a Russian soldier, it became clear that one of the commanders of an assault unit was wounded and took his subordinates’ bank cards when he left.
PROPAGANDA
The invaders are beginning to believe that the course of the war depends on the United States and are waiting for the presidential election in America, as they believe that the war will end after the election. The population’s distrust of the current president of Russia, Vladimir Putin, is growing. People believe that Putin is interested in prolonging the war because he has certain benefits for himself.
Finding themselves at the frontline, all those who had previously been patriotic and willing to “liberate” later regretted their intentions. After assessing the quality of medicine, the efficiency of food/clothing supply and the moral and psychological situation, the Russian military realized that the best and most effective thing that the Russian leadership did to attract civilians to the armed conflict was propaganda.
There are cases when the enemies or their family members are looking for those who can help them leave the combat zone among the local population by all possible means, because they realize that they have already been left to their own devices and that leaving the combat zone will be in a coffin at best.
DESERTION
It is not uncommon for Russian military personnel to engage in self-mutilation or plan to escape from their places of service. Some interviews revealed that there are many deserters in the Russian army. Most of the “fugitives” are from among the stormtroopers. It became clear to them that it is better to serve their time than to die in the war.
In the opinion of the Russian armed forces themselves, there are only two ways to leave the combat zone: either wounded or killed. However, due to the fact that medics are under strict control, the chances of leaving the TOT with a wound have become minimal.
To prevent escape, the command of the Russian armed forces takes away the badges, phones, passports and any other documents from their subordinates. According to the soldiers themselves, such measures are taken to prevent escape and to make it impossible to identify the soldier in case of death.
Therefore, there are suicides among the Russian military, both among soldiers and officers. The leadership of the Russian Armed Forces is trying to carefully conceal such tragic events.
The purpose of this material is to summarize the messages coming from the TOT. Information about such sentiments in the Russian Armed Forces is also confirmed by other methods of information gathering.
You can stop the policy of the Russian invaders and their collaborators by publicizing their crimes and demanding their international prosecution. You can also participate in rallies in support of Ukraine or donate to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
