Russian soldiers were sent to Ukraine deceived

Mothers of soldiers demand truthful information from the government.

Currently, Russian soldiers have no voice, so their mothers made the decision to speak for them. They will be the ones who can speak for the suffering of their children and for what remains for them to suffer.

In the complaints made by some of them, they indicate that the young people were captured, deceived and sent as a token of the war. It was only expected to last a couple of days. However, it has spread and now has a great humanitarian cost.

The outraged mothers have forced the Russian Ministry of Defense to make public the real information on the losses suffered by the Russian army, since it is not even published by the country's public media.

According to the Russian authorities, there are 1,540 seriously wounded, 498 victims and an unspecified number of soldiers who have been captured by Ukraine. These data were made public, after the request of the mothers of the soldiers.

fake news

In Russia, the media has turned into ' fake news ' or as 'fake news ', all current information regarding the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Even the video in which a Russian soldier is seen next to a young Ukrainian woman, while offering hot tea and a video call to her mother, after surrendering, did not exist for the Russians.

For this reason, the family of this soldier decided to make the story public, through the few social networks that the Government cannot control.

In this war, ' fake news ' is handled a lot, thus playing an important role at this time everything that has to do with propaganda.

Knowing this, the Ukrainian government became aware of one of Russia's weaknesses.

The Ukrainian Ministry of Defense decided to issue a statement on March 2, through social networks, indicating that those soldiers who have been captured as prisoners will be handed over to their mothers, when they are picked up in Kiev.

Soldiers who went to war without knowing it

A mother, in the town of Ulan-Ude in Russia, in southern Siberia, managed to recognize her son Sergey Ochirov, through a video that shows that he is a prisoner in Ukraine.

After this, she has been standing, in the form of a manifesto, under the Lenin monument in her city, with a sign that expresses "No to War".

He explained that he wants people to realize that everything that happens is real, since his 19-year-old son was tricked into the fight, because he did not even know where he was going.

Another soldier who is captured by the Ukrainian people said that, “We came to train. They lied to us and that's why I'm here. At first they told us that we were going to train. Finally, after we were sent to the front, everyone was demoralized."

He further added that none of them wanted to fight, but they were told that they would be enemies of the state if they did not, as they would even be shot. Thus, they were thrown out as 'cannon fodder'. He concluded by assuring that the members of the unit do not want war, they just want to go home and peace.

Valentina Melnikova, the director of the Union of the Committees of Mothers of Soldiers of Russia, claims that there is a real problem existing. He indicated that all participation in war actions should be regulated by precise orders.

The director of the Non-Governmental Organization Committee of Russian Mothers pointed out that there had never been such a large number of young people from Russia, who have been transferred without prior notice, which shows that something is not right.

Mothers in constant protests

The Union of Committees of Mothers of Soldiers is a Non-Governmental Organization, which is in charge of demonstrating the violations within the Russian army of human rights.

This is not the first time that Russian mothers raise their voices, until they get the necessary answers. In the first war in Chechnya, the mothers came together and helped convince Boris Yeltsin to withdraw.

In August 2000, in the phases prior to the tragedy caused by the Kurks submarine sinister, the mothers demanded that the 107 bodies be recovered.

The authorities thought they could keep what was happening hidden, but they couldn't. At that time, Vladimir Putin decided to meet in Didyayevo, with the delegation of sailors' mothers. This being the only time they challenged the Russian president in public.
