“What good are these Kalashnikovs to us if we can’t walk”: Russian occupation troops are storming over commanders’ crimes

12.01.2026 

The opposition media of the aggressor country and Telegram channels are now full of reports about what is really happening in the Russian occupation forces. But the “official” media, of course, has no information about the crimes of the commanders. Meanwhile, Russians are sending each other posts with video and photo confirmation of what is happening – far from the glossy and “heroic” picture that the Putin regime is trying to paint.

More details about this can be found in the material on OBOZ.UA.

“Doesn’t see” mode

Before Putin’s “direct line” in December, his press secretary Peskov claimed that there had been a decrease in the number of complaints from servicemen and their relatives. But this is, of course, a lie. Everything is exactly the opposite: a sharp increase in complaints to human rights commissioners in various regions of the aggressor country is being recorded.

According to Russian opposition media, most of the appeals are related to the search for occupiers who went missing during the war in Ukraine and requests to help free their loved ones from captivity. The rest concern payments, contesting the results of the VLK, and the failure to provide medical care.

Moreover, the last reason is “growing” like an avalanche. Both mobilized and contracted soldiers of the ROV who have been wounded and maimed are not only massively denied access to the VLK and treatment, but are also driven to slaughter.

Disposal is proceeding according to plan

Russian military lawyers are already openly talking about the system built by the Russian Defense Ministry and commanders, through which occupiers with diseases and disabilities after injuries cannot pass a military medical commission. Everything is done in order to send as many people as possible to the front. The natural result is the disposal of the “heroes of the SVO” by their own.

As an example, one lawyer cited the story of a soldier with severe mental illness who was hospitalized several times for long periods. The command deliberately dragged out time, not sending the “fighter” to the VLK and transferring him from one unit to another. As a result, he was sent to the front line, where he was expected to die soon .

The lawyer regards this as premeditated murder: “The commanders simply beat the f*ck out of the kid and killed him. Just like that. It’s completely senseless. A person with illnesses like his couldn’t serve. He couldn’t perform combat missions or anything else. I regard this solely as murder.”

On behalf of his parents, he filed numerous complaints and statements to the Investigative Committee, etc., but there was no reaction to the commanders’ crime .

But the commission’s conclusion about unfitness for service in the Russian army does not solve anything. For example, a group of servicemen from Company V of the 59th Guards Tank Regiment with serious injuries and illnesses were sent on a “combat mission” to the Ukrainian Karpivka area.

In the video , they cry that some of them cannot walk normally, one has a broken arm, another has no fingers, and the commanders even suggested that the occupant in a wheelchair “take turns.”

“We are going on a combat mission (combat mission. – Ed.), all crippled. They don’t want to treat us, they just decided to kill us all together . We don’t need these Kalashnikovs if we can’t fucking walk. They just decided to destroy us. This is how the Ministry of Defense and our command will dispose of us ,” the crippled stormtroopers say.

Most of these occupiers were given a “B” category with a red stamp after the VLK – they cannot participate in hostilities even with documents. But the commanders don’t care.

The son of the Russian occupier from the 122nd Motorized Rifle Regiment (military unit 50333), Andrey Kozhevnikov, also recorded a video. In it, he said that his father was again sent to the front, despite his terrible injuries. During his service, he was repeatedly wounded: after the last one, they could not put together the shattered bone in his leg, and some of the fragments still remain in his limbs. Because of this, he was officially diagnosed with a second-group disability.

The Russian invader managed to get a referral to a military medical commission with great difficulty, however, according to his son, his condition and disability were actually ignored there: “He came to the VLK, and they told him: alive and well – come back and fight on. “

Kozhevnikov has already been sent on a combat mission again. His family has repeatedly contacted the military prosecutor’s office and provided medical documents confirming the severe injuries, but has only received formal rejections in response.

And the mother of Pavel Sh., a serviceman of military unit 29760 (68th motorized rifle division), who was sent to fight on crutches and died, filed a lawsuit with the Moscow Garrison Military Court. The woman demands that the actions of the unit commander be recognized as illegal and that the Russian Ministry of Defense be held accountable .

“Meat” was not given a say

Putin stated that over 400,000 people signed the contract in 2025. According to him, there are so many applicants that the Russian Ministry of Defense is forced to announce a competition. But there are already many facts confirming the coercion to conclude a contract, in particular, Russians who have alcohol or drug addictions, as well as those who already have serious health problems.

This is designed to make up for the large losses of the Russian occupiers in the war. But not for long. Such “recruits” will be in the forefront of storming the positions of the defenders of Ukraine. Without the right to treatment in case of injury, because for the Putin regime they are just “meat”. As, in principle, all the “heroes of the SVO”.

    What he means is there is a decrease in the number of complaints we respond to.
