“Out of 150 men, we are the only ones left alive; we were practically being wiped out (brought to zero).”
“During the 3 months we have been serving, they haven’t paid us our due salary even once.”
“On the frontline where we were stationed, they didn’t provide us with ammunition, water, or food. There was no evacuation of ‘Cargo 300’ (the wounded), and the ‘Cargo 200’ (the bodies of the dead) are still rotting there right now, because no one was recovering them either.”
“The command issued horrific orders that were, in principle, impossible to execute.”
“Now they have come to us and told us that we have to return to the frontline, back into that meat grinder where we already were and from which we won’t return a second time.”
“We refuse to obey the order for the reasons we have listed. If any of us dies, it means our own people shot us.”
