The four-car train has been stopped.
Around 200 soldiers in Russia rioted because of the cold in the train which was taking them to war in Ukraine.
The VChK-OGPU project, citing a source, reported that the incident took place on January 13. The four-car train was stopped at Ulusarka station in Lipetsk region.
“The soldiers almost got frostbites on their way to the “SMO” zone, as it was freezing, and the train was not heated in any way,” the report said.
As a result, the Russian servicemen refused to continue the journey and demanded four tonnes of coal as well as water to start the boiler in the train. Police officers were called to the scene to subdue the soldiers.
As Charter97.org reported earlier, mobilized from Russia’s Novosibirsk Region revolted in Ukraine.

The new commander of the Russian occupation army in Ukraine, Valery Gerasimov, has already made scandalous decisions.
The Moscow Times writes, citing Russian propagandists, that the command has actually banned the use of modern technology (phones and tablets), making it impossible to use drones for artillery and reconnaissance.
Military correspondent “romanov_92” writes that a number of units have also been banned from using drones for war. They have been asked not to drop grenade shells from them.
The use of personal or donated four-wheel-drive vehicles is also banned. It’s required to hand them over to the Russian Ministry of Defense.
The use of “non-statutory vehicles” is also banned. The use of personal vehicles is driven by the fact that the regular ones “are stuck, because there are neither repairmen, nor spare parts”.
In addition, the military were ordered to shave their beards off and wear uniforms as per the Statute. It is not known how it will affect Muslims who also serve in the occupation army of the Russian Federation.
