Relatives told ASTRA that the video, recorded on April 10 or 13, shows some of the mobilized men who were sent on April 5, 2023, consisting of about 500 people, on three cargo planes from Kursk to Rostov-on-Don. Allegedly for training and transfer to a local military unit. However, the men were taken from there to Luhansk region at night.
The authors note that the group appears to have been divided. In particular, 170 of those mobilized from these planes were forced to sign contracts with the Wagner PMC.
“We, military personnel of military unit 11048 and military unit 61899, were sent from the field camp “Inns” (Kursk region), according to Lieutenant Colonel Maetsky and Colonel Yermak, to be transferred to the Southern Military District in the direction of Crimea, we were not shown a combat order , there were no officers with us, after that we arrived in Rostov to the 136th motorized rifle brigade, where only conscripts serve, where we had soldiers gathered under the pretext that they would affix new seals there about the transfer to the unit and it was said that the military will return within one day.
At the moment, five days have passed since those words, the documents have not been issued.<…>.
Many of us are incompetent. They have category “D”. They cannot perform combat missions. Many people need medical assistance, which they cannot provide here in the field,” the soldiers said in the video.
“The people who hosted us here, I’m not going to name them, but they help us, thank you,” says one of the soldiers, without explaining who exactly “hosted” them.

Since 2015 no cases in ‘high treason’ accusations have been closed. All the suspects have been declared guilty, no matter the facts. This tendency aggravates modern-day Russia. People see spies and ‘enemies of the state’ in their own neighbours and write suspicion notes to the special services. Learn more on human rights violations in Russia from our correspondents.
