A group of Russian wives and mothers have called on President Vladimir Putin to stop sending their husbands and sons “to the slaughter” by forcing them to join assault groups without adequate training or supplies.
In a video shared by the independent Russian Telegram channel SOTA, the women said their loved ones had been “forced to join assault groups” at the beginning of March despite having just four days training since their mobilization in September.
The video shows the women holding a sign in Russian that reads, “580 Separate Howitzer Artillery Division,” dated March 11, 2023.
“My husband… is located on the line of contact with the enemy,” says one woman in the recording.
“Our mobilized [men] are being sent like lambs to the slaughter to storm fortified areas – five at a time, against 100 heavily armed enemy men,” she continued.

I wish I could feel bad for these women but when they refer to the Ukrainians as “the enemy” they lose my sympathies.
Putin is the man killing their husbands, sons, and brothers.
Putin is their enemy.
I am quite certain Ukraine’s wives and mothers think the same. They have a 4 hour life span in Bakhmut.
Seems every time Ukraine is losing the propaganda ramps up even more.
you are delusional
Ukrainians are being slaughtered in this war too I seem to hear or see very little about that.
During the Vietnam War I saw the numbers of US dead broadcast every week.
In the Ukraine War I just don’t see any announcement from the Ukrainian side this many Ukrainians died this week.
Is there a reason for that?
“I am quite certain Ukraine’s wives and mothers think the same.”
Yup; they are very much opposed to Putin invading their country and their homes and putting their entire families at risk. Putin can end this today if he stops the war and withdraws all Russian troops back to Russia, as its borders existed in 2013.
I believe that would be you who is delusional. I just stated fact. This site has been overrun with Uke propaganda for a few days now because they are not doing well in Bakhmut.
Only four days of training? What did they do for over six months?
And NATO could have prevented this by saying they weren’t allow Ukraine to join. But I guess that’s too high a price, huh? Anyway, we have billions of dollars to waste and both of those sides have thousands of men to waste. Plus, we all risk nuclear war to boot.
Seems every time Ukraine is losing the propaganda ramps up even more.

Case in point, Avdivka is now being encircled.

Add to that the poor economic/ financial news in the West, failing banks, more rioting in the EU against the war, and yet even higher interest rates/ inflation reinforces Vlad’s resolve- it appears he still holds all the cards and time is on his side.
source for your facts?
It’s in Pravda newspaper. Are you well read? You have to stay current.
Brian also further explains the Bakmut / Avdiivka encirclement…

“….. An important thing to note about Avdiivka is the railroad going from Russia proper, through Luhansk, Donetsk, then splitting off to Mariupol and Crimea in Volnovakha. This railroad passes by Avdiivka. About 1km from the front line. In fact essence, it is under direct fire control by the Ukrainians. If and when the Russians take Avdiivka, they will be able to use that railroad to supply their troops from Moscow all the way to Melitopol. This is a HUGE game-changer for the Russian……”
Update on conflict in Ukraine for March 13, 2023;
- Bakhmut continues to be encircled by Russian forces;
- The Western media is reporting conflicting claims by Ukraine and Russia regarding steep losses inflicted on opposing sides;
- The West claims Ukraine is inflicting huge losses on Russian forces and that Bakhmut has little strategic value;
- The Western media, however, also admits Ukraine is outgunned between 3:1 to 4:1 in terms of artillery and despite claims that Russia has lost 20,000-30,000 troops around Bakhmut alone, the BBC’s own project verifying Russian losses says as of March 2023 Russia’s 1 year total losses stand at 16,000;
- A counteroffensive by Ukraine may lead to temporary gains, just as in Aleppo, Syria in 2016, however the fundamentals leading to Bakhmut’s encirclement have not been addressed, therefore any gains risk being reversed;
- A Ukrainian counteroffensive on any major scale will divert troops meant for Kiev’s spring offensive, diminishing the combat potential of other upcoming offensives;
- Poland’s military build-up is being hyped by the Western media, however Polish ambitions would see the creation of a military force roughly the size of Ukraine’s military at the beginning of 2022;
- Poland’s build-up will take years to complete
The Wagner Group is advancing on all fronts around Bakhmut and has fire control of key roads the Ukrainians need for resupply. Warming temperatures are turning the fields to the west of Bakhmut into mud, making vehicle access or egress very difficult for Ukrainian forces. The Wagner Group, with massive support from the Russian Army’s logistics command, has a decided advantage in artillery, shells, rockets, Anti-Tank Guided Missiles, medical support, food, electronic warfare and man power.

Bakhmut is just one component of a broader military strategy and plan. Russia’s defense industry is running full tilt and is producing the artillery shells, tanks, missiles and planes that Russia requires to destroy the Ukrainian military. Ukraine, even with Western support, has no answer for this.
To be wiped out in minutes from one nuke. lesson to be learned : Don't poke the bear.
Zelensky won't allow Ukraines Mothers and Wives to protest - however there's plenty of video showing forced men and boys scripted with the women and families trying to fight those taking them.
“And NATO could have prevented this by saying they weren’t allow Ukraine to join. But I guess that’s too high a price, huh? Anyway, we have billions of dollars to waste and both of those sides have thousands of men to waste. Plus, we all risk nuclear war to boot.”
Ah, you have your Kremlin talking points in front of you.
The NATO canard fails on so many levels.
Russia has had five — FIVE! — NATO countries on its borders for years; and is soon to get a sixth, and that one alone will have an 830-mile border with Russia. Why hasn’t Russia invaded Finland? Incredibly, Russia never invaded ANY of them; hell, Russia didn’t even invade any of them BEFORE they were formally admitted to the alliance, but had just expressed interest.
Putin launched this invasion because of his ego and his desire to take over Ukraine’s natural resources, 80% of which are in eastern Ukraine.
“”They have a 4 hour life span in Bakhmut.””
You say that as though it is a valid statistic when it isn’t, why?
