There is a clip of russian soldiers stationed in Svatove.

They were mobilized 11 days ago in Moscow.

They got 1 session of shooting with life ammunition. Went through 3 cartridges.

Now they are in Svatove, a critical city in the Luhansk-oblast that Russia must hold at any cost if they want to stop the ukrainian advance.

And each of them has 3 cartridges of armour-piercing bullets.






I think these guys would rather be anywhere else than in Putin's war right now.





And I think, Russia sacrificing green troops as speed-bumbs for Ukraine's advance is further evidence that Russia ACTUALLY cares more about the southern front: Kherson and Crimea.
