Kids, conscripts russians sent to Kursk with nothing

320 russian soldiers captured during an operation in the Kursk region passed through a prison in northern Ukraine. According to Babel, 80% of them are conscripts.

After processing the data, the prisoners are sent to special camps. In a conversation with journalists, they recalled how they left their positions and surrendered when they faced the onslaught of Ukrainian troops.

The prisoners complained that they were sent to the battlefield with insufficient preparation. Many of them served only a few months. Now they have replenished the exchange fund of Ukraine.

The Astra publication published an audio interception of a conversation of the head of the village council of the Goncharovka administration (west of Sudzha) Alexander Garkavenko on the eve of the Ukrainian Armed Forces offensive in the Kursk region

"There were several conscripts during the evacuation. I was amazed when they were wading through the river with civilians. (The conscript) had two magazines. I said, "Boy, is that all that's left?" - "No, that's all we had. Two magazines. The command told us to hold out for a day." But we evacuated them on the third day!" Garkavenko says in the audio recording.

The official said that the local population "dressed, fed and shod" local conscripts, and also about the signs "Caution, mines" in places where there are no mines. According to him, on the eve of the border breach, russian soldiers deployed "Grads" right in the middle of the street and fired from the territory of villages.
