Russian Soldiers Confront Putin Over ‘Promises Not Kept’ in Ukraine: Report
A group of Russian soldiers confronted Vladimir Putin this week over “promises not kept” in the invasion of Ukraine, RadarOnline.com has learned.
In a surprising development to come nearly two years after the Russo-Ukrainian war first started in February 2022, a Russian commander posted a video for Putin on Telegram on Tuesday.
According to Daily Beast, the Russian soldier was a commander for Russia’s Storm Z unit – a military unit created by Russia’s Defense Ministry that is mostly made up of ex-convicts.
The commander claimed that he and his men were “tricked” by defense officials. He also told Putin that “promises have not been kept” regarding the conditions of their agreement to fight in Ukraine.
“All of my guys, and me, are having problems,” the Storm Z commander said. “When we were invited to join this unit, we were promised payment of [$2,500], but it ended up being two times less.”
“All of the guys here bravely defended the interests of the Russian Federation, spilled their own blood, practically each one of us has been wounded, and severely wounded,” the Russian soldier pleaded. “I ask you to help achieve justice.”
The commander concluded the video by begging Putin to “ensure” that he and his men are provided the “payments and social benefits” they were promised when they agreed to fight on the frontlines of the Ukraine conflict.
Also shocking are reports that Putin has “turned off the heat” inside Russian prisons to compel Russian prisoners to join the war effort.
