Online videos have emerged showing kilometers of what are allegedly Russian soldier graves along the side of the road in eastern Ukraine.
A video that was uploaded to the Twitter account of the Belarusian media organization NEXTA depicts the horrific image of miles and miles of graves in Luhansk as it is being driven by.
Russian Soldiers Leave War in Ukraine
Putin rescued #Luhansk from the invaders, according to the description of the video. The exact date when the video was shot is unknown. Along the way, many are lined with huge flags, and some are even adorned with images of the presumed dead, according to Daily Mail.
In June, Russia said that it had "liberated" 97% of the province of Luhansk, moving the Kremlin one step closer to its objective of completely annexing the eastern economic heartland of industries and coal mines. On the other hand, it was discovered earlier this week that 39 members of the 252nd motorized rifle unit had left the frontlines in the Luhansk region and asked to return to Russia.
Per Express, Putin said in June that Russian forces had "liberated" 97 percent of Ukraine's eastern region, but they have struggled to make any headway in their alleged "special military assault."
As the troops apparently binged on vodka while waiting to be transported to the front line, police were spotted stepping in to break up the brawl. Russian troops are alleged to have mutinied several times, refusing to engage in combat or raising objections to being "cheated" out of money.
Russian Troops Express Fury Against Vladimir Putin
Meanwhile, 300 troops were lost in four days of intense battle at Pavlivka, according to Russian marines, who also criticized Vladimir Putin for the deaths. In a letter, the Kremlin's soldiers requested that Putin be informed directly of the purported slaughter and lambasted the "incompetent" generals for treating them like "meat."
The letter is published at a time when there are rising reports of Russian troops committing mutinies around the country due to their increasingly unpopular and expensive war, Mirror reported. The massacre at Pavlivka, also known as Pavlovka in Russia, was emphasized by a pro-Kremlin war reporter who feared that the marines were turning into "flesh mixed with soil and boards."
In an effort to reach Putin, Marines from the 155th Marine Brigade wrote to Oleg Kozhemyako, the regional governor of Primorsky. Semyon Pegov, another pro-Russian war reporter for the Pavlikva, called the killing of the marines "very tragic news."
According to Alexey Sukonkin, a pro-Kremlin combat reporter, "awful slaughter was taking place in Pavlivka, as soon as the first battalion came under distribution on the boundaries of the settlement." The local governor "will be held accountable for the incompetence of the commander who planned this murderous holiday. "He'll have to stare into the eyes of youngsters who are orphans and widows. An unfortunate outcome."
