Russian soldier says army suffering heavy losses in Kharkiv offensive

Anton Andreev says only 12 out of 100 soldiers remained alive after unit came under Ukrainian fire and drones in Vovchansk.

Anton Andreev, a Russian soldier from the fifth company of the 1009th regiment, painted a bleak picture of Russia’s offensive in the Ukrainian northern region of Kharkiv.

His unit had been decimated, he said, with only 12 out of 100 soldiers still alive as they came under constant Ukrainian fire and drones in Vovchansk, a prime target of Russia’s advances.

“They just chop us up. We are sent under machine guns, under drones in daylight, like meat. And commanders just shout ‘forward and forward’,” Andreev said in a video message.

Fighting has been raging near the city of Kharkiv since Russian troops crossed the border to open a new front on 9 May.

“I don’t know if I will get out of this or not, but I need to say this to honour the memory of those who died like meat here because of certain individuals,” Andreev said in the clip, which was first published by the Russian outlet Astra and verified by the Guardian.

“You walk through the street, and everything seems to be fine,” he continued. “But then you get caught up in a massacre. During the first night, half the company immediately died.”

“Your Kharkiv offensive was a flop. Lol!”

I don’t have a direct line into the Kremlin, but you claim to, otherwise you’d be speaking out of your butthole to claim it failed. So please tell us what were the objectives of the Kharkiv Offensive, or at least give us a link to an OFFICIAL Russian Government source to back up your claim.

Encourage them to go AWOL and give them asylum. Pass on information they died in battle.

Arrange for a 3rd party to inform a family member they’re alive and well.

Big brain Putin thought he’d conquer Kharkiv with imported African mercenaries from Congo. Classic!

This reminds me of the buildup to the Normandy invasion 80 years ago. Two and a half years after Pearl Harbor the allies invade. That’s 2 and a half years where the Krauts and Russians can carve each other up. That’s how the Russians saw their ‘allies’. Do you think we really care about the Ukes?

Both sides are lying. I’m sure there is some truth to it, but also some exaggeration as well.

I’ve had to tune out all the propaganda and just wait to see what falls and what doesn’t.
