I am addressing the Russian Defense Minister, Sergei Shoigu. We filmed a movie because the promises made to us are not being fulfilled - the Russian began.
In the film, we hear that soldiers are being mistreated, and a lot of harm is caused to them by, among others, Ramzan Kadyrov's soldiers. Russians emphasize that they are not cannon fodder, but human beings.
The Ministry of Defense is not keeping its promises, there's no ammunition. We're down to six from three platoons, while the Kadyrovites come to shoot films and strut around. And yes, their TikToks revealed our positions. After they're published, our positions are under fire, and we perish under bombardment, while they sit at home, receive medals, and drink tea - he added.
They complain
This is not the first film with Russians who complain about their leadership. A few weeks ago, a conscript from the Krasnodar territory recorded a video message from Ukraine with harsh criticism of the Ministry of Defense.
In the recording, the man claimed that he was thrown out into the field "like a dog", having only an "AK-47 and a bayonet", but without any bullets. There were also no commanders with him.
