    Of course its a terrible tragedy if you get wounded and don’t get any medicine. Of course there will be a lot of pain and that sux.

    But maybe there was a way to not get wounded in combat. Maybe if you didnt try to invade a different country and try to hurt the people there all of that pain could have been avoided.

    Because you know, unless you live in the US you usually dont get shot at in your own country.

      I wish people would remember that Random Russian Conscripts != Putin and Gang. Imagine living in a fucked up oligarchic kleptocracy and it’s your 16th birthday and you’re thinking about your girlfriend the test tomorrow and maybe moving to America to get away from it all when you graduate and suddenly you find out it’s your turn to get fed to the meat grinder. There are standing orders to shoot you if you attempt to flee to the safety of enemy hands.

      Young Gregorvitch, why did you choose to be born in this place at this time, you piece of teenage garbage? You should have made better pre-life decisions.

      I hope we never become truly FTL space-capable unless we breed this seemingly necessary hate of “the other” out of ourselves. Imagine the havoc we would wreck on the universe with all the “others” out there.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    A group of Russian soldiers wounded while fighting in Ukraine recently released a video in which they discussed being “dumped off” at a field hospital without necessary medication.

    “Here are the patients and how they’re treated in these conditions,” a soldier narrating the video said at the beginning of the clip, according to WarTranslated’s captions, while the camera panned around what appeared to be a basement dwelling with little supplies.

    In his post, Gerashchenko indicated the servicemen were from Russia’s 144th Motorized Rifle Brigade and filmed their video from inside a field hospital in the Russian-occupied part of Ukraine’s Kherson region.

    The media project also published a video earlier in November on X that allegedly showed naked Russian soldiers being forced to stay in a pit because they refused to fight.

    Similarly, WarTranslated posted a video in late June of a Storm-Z company from Russia’s military saying they would not return to what they called the “meat grinder” of the front lines.

    The Institute for the Study of War (ISW) in a Wednesday assessment wrote that “positional engagements continued in the east (left) bank” of Kherson near the village of Krynky.
