Altai soldiers urge Putin to dismiss Khorokhordin over land sales
- While we are defending our homeland, our lands are being sold. We will be left with nothing - say soldiers from the Altai region in a recording published by the Astra channel. They demand the resignation of the region's head from Vladimir Putin. - We are waiting for changes - they demand.
The soldiers recorded a message directed to Putin in which they demanded the removal of Oleg Khorokhordin, the head of the Altai Republic, from his position.
False promises of the authorities
In their opinion, servicemen's families cannot access "basic medical services," and purchasing firewood is too expensive. They are also concerned about the "distribution of land." All these issues were part of the promises made by the authorities to the service members in return for going to war with Ukraine.
- Thousands and hundreds of hectares are being given to so-called investors. Khorokhordin doesn't care about what will be left for our children. While we defend our homeland, our lands are being sold. We will be left with nothing. Serving in such a situation is challenging - they complain in the recording.
The soldiers appealed to Putin to dismiss Khorokhordin, a member of the "United Russia" party, and to appoint a "patriot of Russia" in his place. - We are waiting for changes - the soldiers added.
