1/ More details have emerged of events relating to a recent disastrous offensive in which 300 Russians are said to have died. Survivors say their commander called them "a piece of meat" and told them that he "wished them to die quickly" when he ordered a fresh assault. ⬇️

2/ The failed attacks near Kupiansk between 7-17 October left literally hundreds of bodies lying on the ground as Ukrainian defenders mowed down successive 'meat assaults', whch included not only Storm Z convict units but members of elite tank regiments being used as infantry.

3/ Relatives of men from the 12th Guards Tank Regiment wrote in a complaint that "their command in the person of Lieutenant Colonel [Sergei] Chizkov (who was in a drunken state) sent them to carry out the combat mission, carrying only automatic rifles, without support."

4/ The men say that they lacked ammunition, food and water and there was no organised evacuation of the wounded. Chizkov had previously been the subject of complaints, but when an army inspection was carried out, he sent the men into the forest to hide them from the inspectors.

5/ According to the men, he also "did not allow them to say" that they were mobilised, called his subordinates "a piece of meat” and stated that "others will come in their place."

6/ When the assault started, it went disastrously wrong from the start. One of the men says:

7/ "The drunken company commander did not explain to whom and where, he sent the stormtroopers to another treeline, and when he realized that he had fucked up, he walked across the field, ordering us to go.

8/ "We walked on, knowing that our boys were there, but it turns out that 20 soldiers were on their way to the slaughter, because their company commander decided to save his job.

9/ "When they started knocking us down, we didn’t know where to shoot, we were afraid to hit our own people, but it turned out that our people weren’t there.

10/ "One of our wounded said that when they were sent to the treeline, they reported that we are being mowed down solidly, and there was drunken laughter on the radio, they're probably walking around glassy-eyed."

11/ When he ordered them into a second assault, the men say, Chizkov "wished them to die quickly.” As a result, 20 of them refused to carry out his order and were sent to the notorious "Concentration Rehabilitation Centre" in Zaitseve to be 'remotivated.' /end
