“I don’t know if I’ll get out of this or not, but at least to honor the memory of those who died like meat here because of certain individuals.” A contract soldier of the Russian Armed Forces recorded a video about the situation during the attack on Volchansk - out of 100 people, 12 survive
Contract soldier of the Russian Armed Forces Anton Andreev from the 5th company of the 1009th regiment told ASTRA about the operation of the Russian army to attack the Ukrainian Volchansk. According to him, out of his company of 100 people, only 12 remained.
The officers initially said that his company would be located on the border of the Russian Federation and Ukraine, but they were sent to Volchansk. But before the offensive, even before taking one of the strong points, some of the fighters were killed by artillery fire.
“The operation (capture of Volchansk) began at the wrong time. They started driving forward and forward. The mortars hit, and people are sent there. During the first night, half the company immediately died. Most of them are three hundred, thank God. Two hundred was also enough,” says the Russian soldier.
According to Andreev, the officers sent the soldiers to Volchansk lightly - only with bulletproof vests and machine guns. On the first night in the city, they managed to capture one of the streets, but then large-scale losses began - fresh groups from training units were unable to pass two houses, as they were suppressed by machine guns and finished off by drones. There was only one person left in one of the groups.
“You walk through the street, everything seems to be fine, but then you get caught up in a massacre - under machine guns, especially drones - they take out so many trains! And the command on the radio shouts “forward, forward!” You can't leave. When there are 5-10 people left from all groups, maybe they will let us retreat, but then it’s already half of the “300,” Andreev describes the storming of the streets in Volchansk.
With his video, the fighter would like to honor the memory of those “who died like meat here because of certain individuals. If we die here, we want to take revenge on those who are to blame.”
“They just chop us up and that’s it. They are sent under machine guns, under drones in daylight, complete meat. And just “forward and forward.” So I don’t know how I’ll wind my way, I won’t stay three or two hundred. Well, I understand that our leadership is given an order, but those who sit in Moscow are fucked,” says Andreev.
