In a clip shared on Twitter and in pro-Ukraine Telegram channels, a group of ten student soldiers in oversized helmets wielding AK-47s from the 1940s complain they've been 'thrown into the s**t'.
One complains: 'Know the truth! The Russian Ministry of Defence has no idea about us, or what we’re doing here.
Another adds: 'Our rifles are from the 1940s! They don’t f***ing fire! They’re sending f***ing ordinary students into war', according to The Times.
The boys, who are reportedly members of the 15th Separate Motorized Rifle Brigade, filmed themselves in the back of a lorry near Sumy, close to the border with Russia.
One lad in a Russian army helmet too big for his head points to himself and says, 'I'm 18 years old.'
He then holds up his AK-47 machine gun - first issued to Soviet soldiers in 1947 - and complains, 'We’ve been given automatic rifles to take on Grads, artillery, mortar shells.
'We're asking you to spread this.'
One quarter of Russia's army is made up of conscripts aged 18-27, disproportionately from poorer backgrounds where families are unable to obtain legal letters or doctors' notes excusing their sons from battle.
Earlier this month, a group of Russian conscripts captured by Ukraine said they were deceived into believing the war was a military training exercise and apologised for behaving 'like fascists'.
Moscow youngster Aleksandr Morozov, 22, said: 'Ukrainians are a strong people, they fight like beasts.
'Their aircraft shatters our columns utterly. Our side suffers great losses: technicians, sergeants, officers, soldiers. And we want to stop that.
'I want to apologize to the whole of Ukraine for coming here. I do not want violence in this country. I am very ashamed.'

Some reason... I doubt anything and everything coming out of this war from either side. Really? Conscript in Putin’s army is going to give his full name while complaining about the brass? Not believable.

Considering he is holding an AK-74 not an AK-47 it is not from the “40s”. But the media would not know that so they push their false narratives...
I read earlier that one group of Russian soldiers were given nothing but instructions to point their fingers and yell “BANG!” The same instructions were given to Ukrainian soldiers and they killed a thousand Russians.
This what you get when you have a repressed country, conscripting to attempt to field an army.
Russia, will begin to implode after this is over.
Ah yes, the UK Daily Tabloid again.
“I doubt anything and everything coming out of this war from either side.”
Ditto.
Russian soldiers were not allowed to carry cell phones.
Fake news.
They rob the locals and take their phones.

Pray tell what other side in the media ?
Aside from mining the net for RT it’s a dearth
Our exposure is 99% this shit like from the Daily Propaganda that reads like Baghdad Bob
So why are we giving Billions in military aid to Ukraine if Russia is so incompetent?
This doesn’t pass the smell test.

The bullshit is getting thicker by the day.
Meanwhile, the Uke Nazis are short of manpower and getting sloppier at holding their people hostage.

Russia is fighting military battles. Ukraine is spending time on the internet.
It actually makes sense. Their only hope is dragging NATO in.
The problem with this is NATO has already said no. Since their only hope is dragging NATO in, and NATO says no, then they have no hope, and people are dying when they know they have no hope.
This is surrender territory.
Russia is bombarding civilians in a terror battle.
Ukraine stopped the Kiev invasion.
What has Russian taken ?
Answer: A beating.
Watch Patrick Lancaster’s reports from the Donbas, Donetsk, and Mariupol on YouTube. He interviews Russian civilians living in Ukraine whose lives are being destroyed by the fighting, especially by the Azov Battalion. It’s heartbreaking.
Hmm smells like antifa underarm deodorant
