“I don't know whether or not I will get out of here.”
Anton Andreyev, a contract soldier of the Russian Armed Forces from the 5th company of the 1009th regiment, told ASTRA about the Russian army's operation during the offensive on the Ukrainian city of Vovchansk. According to him, only 12 of his company of 100 men remained.
Officers said his company was told to stay on the Russian-Ukrainian border, but they were sent to Vovchansk. But before the offensive, even before taking one of the strongholds, some of the fighters died from artillery fire.
“The operation started already out of time. They [commanders] started to push us “forward and forward”. Mortars were firing, and people were sent there. Half of the company was wounded during the first night. Most of them were wounded. There were also a lot of dead,” the Russian soldier says.
According to Andreyev, the officers sent the fighters to Vovchansk with nothing but body armors and assault rifles. They managed to take one of the streets in the city on the first night, but after that, large-scale losses began - fresh groups from the training units could not pass two houses, as they were crushed by machine guns and hit by drones. Only one man was left in one of the groups.
“You pass a street, it seems everything is okay, but then you get under the fire - under machine guns, especially drones - they eliminate so many troops! And the commanders on the radio shouting “forward, forward!”. You can't move back. When 5-10 people from all groups are left, maybe they will let us retreat,” Andreyev describes the storming of the streets in Vovchansk.
“'They just kill us and that's it. Sent under machine guns, under drones in daylight hours. Meat assaults. So I don't know if I'll be wounded or killed. Well, and I understand that our leadership is given an order, and those who sit in Moscow, they don't care,” Andreyev says.
Should have thought of that before signing a contract to kill Ukrainians.

Member of “Putin’s team” Alexander Artamonov called Ukrainians “second-class people” on Russian state TV
Pure Nazism. We remember, that Jews were called "untermensch" in the Third Reich. Now Russia has the same state policy towards Ukrainians.
This man is an idiot. When is the last time you saw a $10,000 tank? Tanks cost well over a million and they destroy them with $1600 drones.
"We can no longer be in a situation where a $10,000 drone destroys a $10,000 tank, or a $3.5 million missile destroys a $10,000 UAV. This is one of the lessons of the Russian-Ukrainian war," said Admiral Rob Bauer, head of the NATO Military Committee.
"We can't continue to do this financially. We need other solutions than what we have. We need to balance the number of high-quality, very expensive weapons we have in favor of cheaper weapons for less valuable targets. However, if a drone can destroy very expensive weapons systems, this does not mean that we no longer need these systems," he said at the Shangri-La Dialogue conference.
Please exile all of them. The Trump fan on hwy 76 got himself a smaller sign. But still a sign.

⚡️Ground Forces: Some online videos of conflicts with mobilization officers are Russian information operation.
Ukraine's Ground Forces said that a "heavy portion" of the videos on social media networks depicting conflicts with mobilization officers or Armed Forces servicemen are products of an "enemy information operation," according to the branch's Telegram post on June 2.
The command said it received information about staged beatings and recordings made in occupied territories using cars and minibuses with licenses from other regions, filmed in poor quality to appear authentic.
