Mobilized Russians complain of being sent into battle in Ukraine "to be slaughtered" – CNN

This is reported by CNN.

Military personnel from regiment 1439, which comes from Irkutsk, issued a similar protest for the second time. In the latest video, published on Saturday, the group claimed they had been given “unlawful and criminal orders” from their command and “were sent to assault the Avdiivka stronghold — without any support from artillery, communications, sappers, reconnaissance — to be slaughtered.”

"DPR commanders are firing machine guns and infantry fighting vehicles at our mobilized soldiers because they refuse to join the assault units… At this point, this battalion has been almost completely destroyed,” said one of the soldiers.

According to him, the unit is in a "desperate position".

• Germany's Federal Intelligence Service (BND) chief Bruno Kahl said that Russia might mobilize up to a million soldiers for the war against Ukraine.
