Injured Russian soldiers appear terrified as they are awarded bravery medals

The wounded troops sat silently in a row of wheelchairs while Russian deputy defence minister Alexander Fomin hailed their war efforts. Despite the Colonel-General's enthusiasm, the young soldiers - many missing a limb from the horrors of Putin's invasion - looked shellshocked and full of despair.

Footage broadcast by the Kremlin-controlled Channel One showed Fomin declare "I serve Russia" as he greeted each ailing troop with a handshake before pinning a medal to their chest. "You all carried out the orders assigned to you, you all gave one hundred percent," Fomin told the wounded men. "Like real men, like real soldiers, you continued the glorious military traditions of our grandfathers and fathers."

A bedbound soldier who lost a leg in the bloody conflict looked wide-eyed and scared as deputy Russian defence minister Yunus-Bek Yevkurov stood over him in hospital.
"I hope you'll get back on your feet," he told the unsettled looking fighter as he gave him a medal.

2. Of course they're scared as hell.

They DIDN'T give 100%. Otherwise, they wouldn't be receiving their medals in person. They're probably waiting for the firing squad, as they survived their encounter, verifying their cowardice under fire. That's how the Russian soldier is trained, to give your life for Mother Russia, and anything else is failure. Just looking into that poor young man's eyes, you can see the premonition of death.

3. Hmmm, funny those leg stumps didn't look

like they were bandaged inside the pajamas. You'd think a major injury like that would need to be protected for a while.

Was this staged?

6. "Was this staged?"

Uh, no

4. Holy shit.....

That is the look of fear. Something cruel and inhumane is about to happen to him.

I feel sorry for him

5. Unlike Zelensky's visit to a hospital to visit the wounded.

Media reports were also that the hospital he visited had a wounded Russian soldier there, being treated.

7. The Last One

The last picture is haunting. He looks emaciated and terrified. I am surprised that he was allowed to be on camera.
