“Russian women appeal to Putin for assistance with their mobilised men - in this new video, women say their men were commanded by a Separate Sabotage Assault Brigade “Veterany” [Veterans], who sent them into meat assaults in Bakhmut, which saw only 130 men survive out of 500. Two platoons have been completely lost. Women claim that “Veterany” “purchased” the mobilised for 25,000 rubles (£250) per head to be able to send them anywhere they want. It is unclear which Russian army unit has suffered, it could be the 72nd Brigade which was recently deployed to cover flanks in Bakhmut.”
