The Russian army found itself in a stalemate after the Armed Forces of Ukraine and other components of the SDU began conducting a defensive operation in the border area of the aggressor country. It is impossible to make up for the large losses of the Russian occupation forces, and the Kremlin is afraid of a “large” mobilization. Therefore, in the Kursk region they decided to plug the holes with conscripts, and now they are throwing wounded occupiers into the meat storms – essentially to slaughter.

The Kursk operation “started the process”
According to Russian analyst Anatoly Nesmiyan, Russia no longer has the resources to solve two problems simultaneously – advancing in Donbass and defending the Kursk region and other border regions.
“There are two possible options – to stop the offensive and transfer forces to the Kursk region or to carry out a large-scale mobilization of everything that is left. In fact, it will most likely not be possible to carry out a mobilization of civilians – this will cause very serious social unrest, and it is not clear how the control system is capable of coping with this task,” Nesmiyan wrote on his Telegram channel.
He emphasized that there are a large number of security forces (police and others) in the Russian Federation, but the Kremlin will not use them in Kursk region or in other border regions.
“They are needed precisely inside (Russia. – Ed.), since the main enemy of the regime – the people – is not going anywhere. And if necessary, they will need to be brought into submission by someone. Therefore, the maneuver of the force resource is extremely limited. “Putin’s foot soldiers” from one North Caucasian republic (Chechnya. – Ed.) cannot be used either, they have their own task: they are the personal reserve of the commander-in-chief in case of a repeat of Prigozhin’s mutiny – suddenly one of his comrades goes crazy. True, Prigozhin’s mutiny made it clear that there is no special hope for the “foot soldiers” in such a case, they can get stuck in a traffic jam and not arrive on time. But there are no others anyway,” the analyst explained.
In his opinion, therefore, everything will remain as it is and the Kursk region will no longer be returned by force – the regime will only try to prevent even more from being seized.
Thus, the aggressor army found itself in a vicious circle: large losses in the combat zone in Ukraine, and now also in the Kursk region of the Russian Federation, led to a severe shortage of personnel, and there is practically no one to replenish it.
According to a Ukrainian Armed Forces officer who is taking part in the Kursk operation, this is why the Kremlin gave the go-ahead to plug the holes with conscripts. However, they will not change the situation.
“Conscripts cannot and do not want to fight. They were not prepared for this, moreover, they were promised not to send them to war. Some obey orders and try something, but it is useless, and others (the smarter ones) surrender – and this is their only chance to save their lives,” the Ukrainian defender told OBOZ.UA.
Thus, the situation is becoming explosive for the Kremlin: the decision to throw young and inexperienced Russians to their deaths, often even with minimal ammunition, could boomerang on Putin’s regime.
“The regiment commander is not in his right mind”
Meanwhile, the command of the Russian occupiers began to throw the wounded and even the disabled into the meat assaults in the combat zone in Ukraine and in the Kursk region of the Russian Federation. Information about this began to gradually leak out onto the Internet.
For example, a man mobilized into the Russian army suffered a severe concussion in the Kherson direction. He was evacuated to a hospital in Tavriysk, but his initial medical documents were not issued. After that, the occupier was transferred to a hospital in Sevastopol and placed in a psychiatric ward, allegedly with a nervous disorder.
“The hospital issued a discharge summary stating that he… was over-anxious. He walked there, roughly speaking, on his own two feet, and they put him in the psychiatric ward,” the occupier’s wife, Anastasia Vovk , complained to Russian opposition media .
The mobilized soldier was kept on psychotropic drugs for six months, which had side effects. In addition, due to the injury, his optic nerves were damaged and his vision continues to deteriorate. Despite this, they are preparing to send the “liberator” back to the front – appeals to the military prosecutor’s office and the Russian Defense Ministry have yielded no results.
Not only the wives of the occupiers, but also the occupiers themselves began to voice what was happening. For example, Viktor Stegantsev , a mobilized and reconnaissance squad commander of the 245th regiment (47th tank division of the Russian Ground Forces), recorded an address in which he spoke about the transfer of assault units from the Kharkov direction to the Kursk region . According to him, now unprepared scouts are being sent into “suicide assaults.”
“What they want to do now is simply kill six people. There is a road of death there – many leave and do not return. We do not know where they are. The guys and I do not understand how to do this, because it should be done by the “Storms” (special forces mainly consisting of convicted criminals who have signed a contract – Ed.). The regiment commander is not in his right mind,” says the mobilized Russian.
For objecting, Stegantsev was threatened with transfer to a unit made up of prisoners, where he would still become a stormtrooper.
Another striking example is a Russian “volunteer” who can’t even walk normally, sent to fight in the Kursk region. Vasily signed a contract in 2023 and ended up in the Avdeevka direction. He was wounded there, but a week later, literally in bandages, he was sent back to the front lines, where almost immediately the occupier was wounded again.
He was supposed to have a hip replacement, but the operation was not performed. Since then, he can only move with a cane and has very poor hearing – there is no eardrum in his right ear due to contusions.
The occupier’s relatives have been trying to get him a VVK for three months, but a week ago his unit was transferred from the occupied part of Donbass to Lgov (Kursk region of the Russian Federation). From there, “fighters” are sent in groups on missions. Instead of treatment, Vasily’s commander gave him promedol with the words: “Get a shot – and go!”
And this is only the tip of the iceberg. Despite the claims of Russian propaganda that “everything is under control”, the residents of the aggressor country no longer believe in this. Meanwhile, cemeteries in different parts of the Russian Federation continue to grow – the disposal of its own population is going according to plan.
Adolf Hitler also threw everything and anything he could find into battle at the end of his war. Not saying that mafia land’s Hitler is at the end of his war, but throwing anything and everything into battle never bodes well for an army.
The parallels are irrefutable. Hopefully fate will parallel Hitler’s too but I doubt the tiny nazi has enough bravery to kill himself. That’s ok though, there are millions of his countrymen that would volunteer for that and he will never be a hero or martyr no matter how he fancies himself.
No, he won’t be a hero, except for the usual sickos that inhabit every place on this planet, like bacteria and worms.
