As expected, Putin’s intended cannon fodder. Not even issuing them proper weapons or ammunition with which to fight.

In WW2 the Russians soldiers would be shot dead by political commissars if they did not move forward in attack. They would be shot for pretty much any reason and their bodies left in the open as the army moved ahead. Other ways to use you was to put you in front of the attack with no weapon. The Russian soldiers did not have enough weapons so those that did and died the next soldier that came upon him would grab the weapon till he died and the next etc etc.
If they were captured then after the war came back to Russia they would die in a prison camp.

These conscripts have it easy....
