Russia's war on Ukraine must be reaching a turning point
and it's not good for the Russkies.

Aleksei Smirnov, a serviceman from Russia’s 11th Separate Air Assault Brigade who came from Irkutsk to “liberate” Ukraine, reports extremely heavy losses on his unit’s assault mission. He says there are “more than twenty ‘200s’” (i.e., dead) and complains that their leadership has effectively abandoned them. According to Smirnov, he was the only survivor from his group; there has been no evacuation and no contact, and his current fate is unknown.
After facing death in combat, he says he realized how dire the condition of the Russian army in Ukraine is. He urges fellow citizens not to go to the front and to think about their families, warning that otherwise they will be brought home in black body bags. Smirnov also accuses the military leadership of not caring for ordinary soldiers: once you sign up with the armed forces, you become nothing more than disposable “meat” for them, he says, and no one cares what happens to Russian servicemen.
