Does Vladimir Putin's army have problems in the war? According to the latest information, it does. In the Russian regions, hundreds of mobilized individuals who refused to fight in Ukraine are being forcibly sent to the front.
As "Verstka" has learned, individuals who refuse military service due to their beliefs are being put on planes and sent to war, regardless of their health conditions and planned court hearings.
According to two lawyers and three families of those who refused to fight, at the beginning of the May weekend, 40 machine gunners and fighters with sticks entered the building where the refusers were being held.
And they took over the entire floor. According to the relatives, 170-180 people were herded onto buses and sent to the military airport and, from there, straight to a plane.
Those who consciously refused to fight on Ukrainian territory are being held on military bases and then sent to the front and other regions without their consent - reads Telegram.
Such forced expulsions began en masse in May. As one investigator told the wife of a detainee: "We didn't come up with this; it's an order from Moscow."
Huge Russian losses in the war
On May 25, 2024, the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense reported that Russian personnel losses in Ukraine exceeded half a million soldiers.
Despite offensive superiority, Vladimir Putin's army is losing a lot of equipment. From mid-February 2024 to May 23, 2024, the Russians lost as many as 1,185 tanks, or 130 per month.
In addition, the Russians reportedly lost 2,657 personnel carriers and infantry fighting vehicles, or 885 per month. Previously, these monthly losses were at the level of 505 per month.
