1/ Men evacuated from Shebekino are causing havoc at Belgorod State University, where they've been relocated. Students are complaining of sexual harassment, drunkenness and rowdy behaviour. "Get together as a group, find those men and smash their faces in," one student says. ⬇️ Image
2/ The ongoing fighting at Shebekino, on the border with Ukraine, has meant that many of its inhabitants have been evacuated to temporary shelters elsewhere in Belgorod and the neighbouring regions. However, the behaviour of some of the evacuees is evidently causing problems. Image
3/ Numerous complaints have been posted in Belgorod State University student chat rooms and on WhatsApp. "It turns out, at the moment, everything is allowed in the dormitory! Drinking, smoking and partying," says one student.
4/ Another student says: "The corridors in the dormitory smell of alcohol, yesterday there was an incident in the smoking room when drunken men harassed foreign female students, security guards came up, said something to them – and left without informing anyone.
5/ "When we approached the guards and asked what was going on, they replied that, if you want, you can make it public yourself, we would not do anything. This is how students are being guarded.
6/ "Anyone can enter the campus now by typing something resembling a pass and saying that he is from Shebekino. Students are in danger from refugees in an inadequate state, the security of the whole campus is in great doubt."
7/ A student says it is "gnawing" them that "female students have been deprived of basic security with these drunken men. Why they don't talk about it, I don't understand."
8/ "Is the sale of alcohol allowed on the campus? Get together as a group, find those men and smash their faces in," one student commented. "Let's assemble a squad of tough guys from the university," suggested another.
9/ The students were also incensed by being moved out of their rooms and into dormitory accomodation, with their belongings being packed into trash bags and left in a separate room. /end Image

1/ Citizens of Russia's Belgorod region are outraged that the regional government has spent far more on public events, including a dumpling festival, than on civil defence. As a result, bomb shelters have been neglected and evacuations have been chaotic and disorganised. ⬇️ Image
2/ The 'We Can Explain' Telegram channel reports that a source who has dealings with Belgorod officials says they "ignore the threat and prefer not to talk about the war in private conversations, but "have planned jam festivals for summer, recently they had a tulip festival"."
3/ The regional government has said that it has spent almost 30 million rubles ($368,500) so far in 2023 on organizing holidays and festivals. It held a "Varenyky Festival" last winter, in which 10,000 out of 64,000 dumplings were distributed to the military. Image

2/ There have been many accounts in the last few months, generally coming from relatives, of mobilised Russian soldiers being imprisoned, beaten, starved, threatened and shot at for refusing to go into near-suicidal assaults. Now there's a rare first-hand account.
3/ Dmitry Karpov, a 32-year-old soldier from Vyazniki, Vladimir region, gave an interview to Ukrainian journalist Vladimir Zolkin after his capture by Ukrainian forces. He described how his unit was lied to and abandoned on the front line before taking massive casualties.

1/ Men mobilised by the Russian Army were reportedly sold to a mercenary group for 25,000 rubles each ($310) and told they would be shot unless they fought in the Battle of Bahkmut. Hundreds are said to have become casualties. Now their relatives cannot contact the survivors. ⬇️ Image
2/ According to the relatives, 501 mobilised men were taken from Crimea to a training range in the 'Luhansk People's Republic', where they were trained by Wagner Group mercenaries. They were then taken to the Veterans PMC's base in the 'Donetsk People's Republic' (DPR) in April.
3/ Relatives of the mobiks say that their men were "driven around in circles for 11 hours, then they were given water and passed out. Maybe there was even something in this water. And in the morning they woke up to shouts of "Wake up!" from unknown people with "Veterans" badges."
