'Our families need it': Russian soldiers demand pay after mobilisation order - Guardian News



Mobilised soldiers from the Omsk region in Russia have recorded a video to say funds they have been given are not enough. 'We left our families at home, some of us have children,' they said. Vladimir Putin announced a partial mobilisation on 21 September. Putin has since made televised comments to say he has signed a decree to make 'corrections' to the mobilisation order after thousands of Russians tried to flee the country. The Russian president said the updated decree would defer conscription for additional categories of students, including those enrolled at accredited private universities and certain postgraduate students.

of grievances from a rushed group of mobilized soldiers. As he said in the video, he was drafted overnight. He received notice in the evening to report in a.m. Looks like a real cluster you-know-what to me.

They need to realize Putin cares not one teeny tiny bit for them. His only concern is to expand his criminal enterprise to further enrich himself and his close cronies. Putin cares not for who he slaughters.
