Sat together in a row of wheelchairs, the medically discharged soldiers - some missing entire limbs - waited in silence as deputy defence minister Alexander Fomin waxed lyrical about their courage and sacrifice, before being presented with their rewards...
Each soldier shared a handshake with Fomin and declared: 'I serve Russia!' as the Colonel-General pinned a medal to their chest, but the prideful facade could not conceal the troops' real feelings.
The video, broadcast by the Kremlin-controlled Channel One, showed clear expressions of terror and despair emblazoned across the young men's faces.
Fomin reeled off a list of cliches as he stood in front of the ailing troops, many of whom were missing feet or legs as a result of the bitter conflict across the border.
'You all carried out the orders assigned to you, you all gave one hundred percent,' Fomin said.
'Like real men, like real soldiers, you continued the glorious military traditions of our grandfathers and fathers,' he proclaimed.
But his audience refused to acknowledge the speech and instead merely sat in silence and stared into space, perhaps reliving the horrors of a war which has resulted in the death of thousands of their countrymen.

Ukraine must be winning if Russian soldiers look awkward.
Back during WW II the average Russian soldier could tell you exactly why he was fighting. What would today’s Russian soldiers say? Nobody was invading Russia. Nobody was threatening their families.
All of a sudden they’re in the midst of a war on foreign soil. I genuinely wonder what their field grade officers told them.
"Stand up, Chuckski! Let them see you!
I feel sorry for the ignorant indoctrinated young Russia soldiers lied to that they are “liberating” Ukraine only to find a population that tells them they will fight them.
These Ukraine invaders are just the JV team. The Varsity team is being held in reserve for the west/us.
Where would we be without the UK Daily Mail’s propaganda.
at least they get to go home,to a house and town untouched by artillery or missile barrage.
And, they are out of any future conflict.
Unlike the Ukrainians.
I serve the motherland!! Yeah, say it or we will have you put up against a damned wall and finished what the Ukraines started.
—yeah—the “average Russian soldier” knew that if he didn’t press ahead into whatever , the commissars troops behind him (Kruschev’s group) would kill him , for sure—
Pretty soon BLM and ANTIFA will be getting Hope-N-Change Courage medals.
Our Daily Dose of Daily Mail Propaganda.
I'm sure that when asked, an average Soviet soldier could provide an answer that was acceptable to the unit's political commissar (or equivalent ;>)...
Where would we be without the UK Daily Mail’s propaganda.

Exactly. The Ukie war cheerleaders will support war until the last Ukrainian.
Fact is Vlad will bury the dead and move on. The Ukies will also bury the dead, but have to beg for money to rebuild their flattened country for a decade…..10 percent of our taxpayers money will somehow go to the “big guy” Senile Joe. By all standards of war, Vlad has already won, get used to it….calls for peace I don’t hear…just war, war....both Zelensky and Vlad are filthy, corrupted leaders- support neither one.
Daily Mail propaganda is always good for a laugh.
with DM ,they could have been beheaded soldiers - LOL
Chuck stand up, I want them to see you.
I feel sorry for the ignorant indoctrinated young American soldiers lied to that they were “liberating” Afghanistan only to find a population that tells them they will fight them.
This is how the Ukranian Army is treating POWs. Hint: it’s a war crime. Warning very graphic.
