The families of Russian occupiers killed in the war complained to Putin about the three legs in the coffins

The families of Russian occupiers killed in the war complained to Putin about the three legs in the coffins

A relative of one of the missing Russian occupiers has appealed to Russian dictator Vladimir Putin and the Russian military command, complaining about the deployment of disabled soldiers to the front lines, as well as the chaotic conditions surrounding the burial of fallen occupiers. 

The video message was posted on Russian Telegram channels.


According to the Russian woman, instead of being referred to a military medical commission (MMC), Russian servicemen are sent on assaults, and there is no evacuation from the battlefield. Relatives complain about the lack of feedback from the command, extortion, the medical unfitness of the unit’s chief medical officer, and demand “an end to the tactic of sending soldiers to certain death in assaults with assault rifles against drones,” when “every soldier, upon going on a combat mission with Military Unit 529, is declared unfit for combat.”

Military Unit 52892 is stationed in the occupied part of Donetsk Oblast.

Separately, the appeal criticizes the practice of returning the bodies of Russian terrorists killed by the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

“Why don’t the remains of the killed fighters match after independent DNA testing? Why are three legs sent to relatives in transport zinc boxes? Help us save the lives of servicemen who are paying their debt to Russia. We are in despair and already at the breaking point,” the woman appealed to the Russian dictator. 

As a reminder, on May 22, the Russian army lost another 950 soldiers in the war against Ukraine. The Ukrainian Armed Forces also destroyed dozens of pieces of military equipment, including tanks, armored vehicles, artillery, and drones. Russia’s total losses since the start of the full-scale invasion have already exceeded 1.35 million soldiers. 

Putin has once again received a promise from his generals to “capture the Donbas by the fall of 2026,” although the Russian army has repeatedly failed to meet previous deadlines. 

A state of emergency was declared in the occupied part of Luhansk Oblast following a strike on Starobilsk, where a training facility of the Russian occupiers was destroyed
