A Russian soldier is shocked that his commanders let his wounded comrades die.
x 1/ A Russian soldier says that his commanders banned the wounded from retreating from the battlefield and executed those who retreated without orders. The injured men who stayed there "rotted alive without medical care and water". He had to pay a $38,000 bribe to be evacuated. ⬇️

2/ A soldier who identifies himself with the callsign 'Boxer', serving in the Russian 137th Assault Brigade (military unit 01591) has spoken on video of the abuse which the men of the unit experienced from their officers, in particular from 'Roma', the deputy commander. 3/ The man says that during an assault operation, "Roma was shouting there [over the radio]: forward, only forward. I also heard on the radio: if someone takes a fucking step back... like if you give in, roll back - you're fucked. Either you'll die there, or in the rollback. 4/ "You'll die anyway. You'll only go forward."The wounded faced "a bad situation with water. The guys weren't drinking or eating. Some people were already going crazy from the fact that they would either shoot themselves or simply die right before their eyes." 5/ “People were rotting, the order did not allow them to roll back ... As a result, [the platoon commander] then began to beat the wounded, those who were seriously wounded. In general, it was fucking crazy. I looked at him and thought, what is he doing, this is lawlessness". 6/ Boxer was wounded himself. The men were eventually allowed to retreat after appealing over the radio for permission. "It had already started to stink, everything smelled. Otherwise, it was impossible to even be there alone." 7/ "Everyone understood that they wouldn't survive there for long, especially without water, without food, they were lost, they lost a lot, too much blood, so they allowed a rollback. They understood that the boys wouldn't make it because we were neutralised. 8/ "There was no water, nothing. We went out on the highway so that at least 250 grams of water would be dropped off for six of us [by a drone], they gave one sip for seven ... In the end, half of us didn't make it."
Russia is rapidly catching up in drone development and the results can be seen at the Pokrovsk front.
