Russia has acknowledged the deaths of several of its conscripts in Ukraine. Russian media reports that these soldiers have been sent to the front without training.
Source: BBC News Russian, citing relatives and close friends of the dead soldiers
Details: BBC journalists identified three out of five soldiers [whose deaths were reported by the Chelyabinsk Oblast military commissariat on Thursday, 13 October]: Anton Borisov, Igor Yevseev and Timur Akhmetshin.
They were conscripted by the Korkino military commissariat [in Chelyabinsk Oblast, Russia] between 26 and 29 September. A total of almost 1,000 people were conscripted around that time, the relatives of the deceased said.
On 3 October, the men found themselves near Luhansk. From there, they were transferred to Kherson Oblast. By 9 October, their relatives received the first death notifications.
An acquaintance of one of the soldiers shared a recording of their phone call in which one conscript from Chelyabinsk Oblast, currently hospitalised in Sevastopol (Crimea), explains the circumstances of the death of the five men to another recently conscripted soldier who is preparing to depart for the front.

Yep, if BBC tells it then it is true. Ghost of Kiev did it.:)
Assuming the report is correct, they were sent into combat with less training than the green troops at First Bull Run…
Sheer murder if they are going up against experienced troops.
Chelyabinsk Oblast is in the eastern Ural Mountains
are all the recruits being pulled from the eastern half of Russia?
meanwhile all the western “European” Russians get free pass?
Their city says they are dead. Are they lying? Then there is the other case of a mobik from Moscow already dead. Is that a BBC lie too? Isn’t it amazing how everybody lies except the KGB guy and his minions?

Nope. There was a similar case reported from Moscow today. Untrained mobik to dead in Ukraine in a few days. This is how Russia has operated for generations, obviously.
6 soldiers died at war. It happens. So what?
The amazing thing is so far there are apparently zero deaths on the Ukrainian side.
There were 1831 Polish tracked by the Russian military by the end of Q2, 563 of them killed. So what?
Sending untrained men to die horribly in Ukraine is acceptable? And you wonder why Ukraine does not want to be in the filth and scum of the Russian world?
Change in tactics once Modi disproved your earlier statements?
What about 563 untrained Polish? Regarding Russian scum you forget to add orcs and like definition. This sort of dehumanization is going to help you when they finally come for you. Ask the Germans:)
What are you talking about?
Ukraine is 10 miles from Moscow and Putin is about to comit suicide because of how bad everything is for them. Sarc-
Not in the news much: https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2022/10/13/dane-bird-patridge-ukraine-idaho-veteran/
Something like the 207th American citizen to get killed fighting for Ukraine and God knows how many are wounded and crippled.
What else isn’t talked about much, US citizens held by Russia and fighting as mercenaries facing the death penalty.
US tax dollars essentially used to hire these mercenaries.
The DOJ closing their eyes as these folks travel (usually they try to stop them).
The US State Department not trying to stop them (what is usually done). It’s open knowledge that some of these folks are going, which route they travel, etc. We could EASILY ask Poland to block them.
Ukraine openly recruiting on their government web sites abroad and the US not stopping this.
The US government allowing for Ukrainian state run and highly deceptive information intended to stir up the masses to hit the US audience unfiltered while censoring the other side.
***Frankly, the US government has a responsibility here.
Even most of these Islamic fanatics doing suicide bombings get money for their families through various charities and here you have US citizens basically getting crippled or killed for a war we started (NATO membership October 2021), are financing, where you had a mercenary army of ~7,000 men at wars begin and we knew about this and we’re ok with it.
Did you miss my sarc? Having to add a sarc tag to every post diminishes the sarc.
I truly do not understand the pro-Russian sentiments of so many Freepers.
This forum has changed so much.
“I truly do not understand the pro-Russian sentiments of so many Freepers.”
Nor do I. I don’t understand why anyone is pro either side here.

The Soviets did this in WW II. Just fed conscripts to the Nazi’s guns to buy time.
Infiltraitors have been a problem since the “Whitewater” days.
Read the history of W.W. II on the Eastern Front and complete brutality that Stalin ordered, then you understand why Russia lost 27 Million in that war compared to small numbers of the Allies.
