The latest rebellion in Kazan highlights how disgruntled draftees are bravely challenging the authorities amid fears they face being sent to the front as cannon fodder.
Mutinies against Vladimir Putin’s war are spreading as up to 2,500 mobilised Russian men faced down a "drunk" general in a protest over their training camp conditions and rusty weapons.
Disgruntled draftees are bravely challenging the authorities by staging the rallies in Kazan, Ulyanovsk and the annexed Luhansk region.
In a new video shared online last night, riot police arrive at a demonstration in Kazan, where the approximate 2,500 soldiers had gathered to confront their general.
Writing in social media posts, one soldier said: "The general was kicked out of here - the brute arrived drunk and [making complaints about our behaviour].
“We have rusty machine guns from the 1970s that are not [tested], it is dangerous to shoot with them.”
Visits by family to the training camp are “banned”.
“The equipment for 2,500 people is two Ural [trucks].
“There is no water to shower, and the meals [are not regular].”

I wanna party with these guys 🇷🇺
This is what the Russian army does best. Uses their people to die and eventually win.
It’s gonna start getting cold.
I wonder if they get the boots one day a week, or one day a month.
They wouldn’t have won without the US before. They are not getting that kind of help now.
Lols..... and we need lots more rebellions by Russian troops and the dragooned, hapless mobiks
LOL. You know how hard it is to learn new weapon systems during a war? Russia screwed up at the beginning when they didn’t accomplish their mission and got their butts kicked in Kiev with russian based weapons.
Unless you’re talking about Russian winning before...I may have taken your comment wrong. Sorry.
Soldiers wants better weaponry and ammunition. They want better trainings. I guess those who didn’t provide soldiers committed the crime against a fight capacity of these soldiers.
So they but not soldiers who sabotaged the orders of supreme commanders. I guess they will be stripped of their ranks and be sent to a front line as privates. It is such traditional punishment in Russia for those officers who failed duty.

It is not against war but against stooges in the local command who failed to provide to soldiers. It is a crime against a fighting capacity of troops. Those responsible will be punished removing their ranks and sending to a front line as privates.
Kazan, did you see this protest out of your windows in Russia today?
I was talking about WWII.
In Russia, troops are not being given weapons. Per the story. Not the first article whenre troops don’t have gear to be effective, and some are buying their own stuff.
Isn’t there a FReeper named Kazan?

One hundred or more protest yesterday because their families at not received the $4,000 pound sign up bonus. Today 2,500 rcruits protest. Tomorrow the country and the war may end. HOPE< HOPE.
Well, that’s ironic! Anybody see Comrade Kazan around today?
- US assistance to Ukraine increasingly depends on "refurbishing" antiquated weapons kept in storage as current inventories of weapons run low;
- Russian tanks continue to roll out of factories while those in storage are also being upgraded and deployed;
- British state media admits Ukraine faces difficulties in taking Kherson city;
- Russian forces continue preparing for protracted combat while Ukraine races against the clock in terms of energy, economics, and material support for combat operations
You’ve been outed here as a Never Trumper. I have no idea why you’re allowed to remain here. But, there is nothing the least bit conservative about you.
There’s the pot calling the kettle black.
That you were willing to express such a totalitarian thought reveals that you are not a true conservative.
