1/ Six crippled Russian soldiers, some on crutches, are sent to their deaths in Ukraine with three bulletproof vests and two automatic rifles between them. "It's just fucking crazy," says the man filming it, who is now likely missing in action. ⬇️
2/ The video was filmed by 50-year-old Sergei Aleksandrovich Pisarchik, a soldier in the Russian Army's 69th Motorised Rifle Division. He sent it to his relatives on 21 May 2026 and stopped communicating afterwards.
3/ The division was reported to be fighting around Vovchansk north of Kharkiv earlier in the year.
Pisarchik says: "We are going on a combat mission with two assault rifles and three body armours for six of us. We are all cripples. It's just fucking crazy."
4/ His relatives say that he signed a military contract after getting into debt, and was promised a position at a checkpoint inspecting vehicles. Instead, as has happened to many in a similar situation, he was sent to a stormtrooper unit, and likely to his death.
5/ The video highlights how Russia has frequently used badly wounded soldiers as assault troops, denying them medical treatment and sending them into assaults on crutches, or even occasionally in wheelchairs. /end
