Wounded Luhansk soldiers claim abuse, still sent to front
Soldiers from the 26th Armoured Regiment of the 47th Division of the so-called Luhansk People's Republic have published a recording claiming that the command sends them "straight from hospitals to combat missions, even though many of them can only move with crutches."

The soldiers say this message is our last chance to reach the command through the military prosecutor's office, the Minister of National Defence, and the president (Putin—ed.).
"None of this was achieved"
The recording shows that this situation affected several dozen soldiers.
The documents they received in the hospitals indicated that the wounded "are to receive discharge due to injuries" and "require rehabilitation." - None of this was achieved - they add.
They also claim that they did not receive the promised veteran certificates, salaries, or compensation for injuries sustained. At the same time, they still declare their readiness to fight against Ukraine.
This is yet another appeal of this type directed to the Russian command, the prosecutor's office, or Putin himself. In most cases, the Kremlin "solves" problems by issuing an order to immediately send soldiers to the so-called zero line - which means direct combat, where they disappear without a trace.
They massacred the entire unit on the front
Such a fate befell, among others, those mobilized from Irkutsk, who said they were not prepared for an assault, and their experience did not allow them to participate in combat. They begged to be transferred to territorial defence. They also turned to Putin. The soldiers were massacred on the front in Donbas.
- My husband called me. He is in the hospital, injured by shrapnel. He said there is (literally) nothing left of the regiment. There are known to be only two wounded, and the rest either died or were abandoned on the front in critical condition. My husband will be given just a week (to recover), and then they'll send him to the front line again! - reported the wife of one of the reservists in an interview with Radio Liberty.
