The soldiers complain that they have only just learned they will be sent to the front and haven’t even seen a rifle during the two weeks they’ve been training.

    I have no sympathy. Their complaints are all about lack of training and not about the fact they are going to fight in a country that is not their own for absolutely no reason. Fuck Putin and fuck the men and women of Russia who don’t stand up for what’s good and right.

      I understand this sentiment but it is important to remember that all of the Russian population lives in a propaganda bubble. Anti-government messengers are regularly disappeared. They literally don’t know any better in most cases. This is the way of war. They’re fighting for the invader and will likely die if they do not surrender and deservedly so - but that just makes it that much more tragic.
