Wagner troops outraged at Putin as cemetery full of dead soldiers covered in cement

Wagner troops are outraged after Russian officials bulldozed a cemetery of its mercenary fighters just days after the death of its leader, Yevgeny Prigozhin.

Prigozhin himself had opened the cemetery last year in the village of Nikolayevka, Samara Oblast, in Russia's southwestern region.

Video footage from a Wagner supporter today showed that cement had been poured over the gravesites of those who died fighting in Ukraine.

The crosses marking the grave sites had also been ripped out of the ground and were thrown into a landfill "like rubbish".

The supporter tells viewers on Telegram that "everything has been demolished"

The man, who is wearing a PMC Wagner Group T-shirt, continued: "This is blasphemy.

"People were dying for Russia and you levelled all their graves. Do you not fear God?”

He shows a pile of crosses that appear to have the date 2023 written on plaques alongside colourful wreaths.

The brutal scene prompted comparisons between Vladimir Putin and former Soviet leader Joseph Stalin, who often erased rivals from history.

Because I give a damn about how our tax dollars are wasted and how our military is weakened.

That story wasn’t very convincing at first and nothing has changed, notice how incomplete and brief the evidence is, it gives an impression and then leaves you hanging, wondering where the meat of the claim and photographs are.

If you look into the first time around there has been some debunking of the claim since then.

Kind of describes America to a T nowadays.

People ignore the fact that America has become what we say we hate the most.

That is another reason for the west to keep it going. It is mass psychosis leading the sheep to believe that the bad guys are over there so they won’t see what they are doing here. Just look how personal some people are taking Joe Biden’s war. Nothing matters but robbing Americans and hatred for Putin.

Remember the motto of all the “current things”? “We are all in this together”? I didn’t buy that then and I sure do not now.

Point being this thread was about Putin desecrating graves of his own hired guns. Not much to do with whether or not we support Ukraine defense efforts. Your position on funding is well known on many other threads, each and every day. Dont you get tired of blowing that trumpet? At least on threads that are not directly related?
