Why don't Russians defend themselves against Putin's bloody war?
The Russian armed forces suffer from enormous losses in the Ukraine conflict. It is estimated that the losses could now fall from more than 700,000 and wounded soldiers. Historian Prof. Dr. Klaus Gestwa from the University of Tübingen describes the situation as alarming because Russian cemeteries "burst out of the seams." While other countries celebrate Christmas and New Year, the bloody fight between Ukrainian and Russian troops continues unabated. Especially now that society in Russia is normally looking for contemplation, the country sees itself confronted with reality massive losses, which apparently remains unnoticed, like merkur.de reported.alarming situation on the front
The fights concentrate in regions such as Charkiw and Saporischschja, where Ukrainian troops fight with modern technology such as marten tanks against Russian superiority. These massive losses primarily affect remote areas such as Burjatia and Dagestan, while larger cities like Moscow are largely spared from mobilization. Statistics state that more than 600,000 soldiers in Russia would have been felled or wounded, a number that the Kremlin would not confirm, according to . . In addition to the high losses of the soldiers, it can be seen that the Russian army has difficulty providing wounded fighters adequately. Allegations of inadequate treatment arise, while the mayor of the occupied city of Melitopol reports that Russian doctors may not have the necessary competence to take care of the injured soldiers. The pressure on families to earn money through compensation payments in the event of death leads to a distorted perception of the military service, which is seen as an economic opportunity. In many cases, the death of a soldier is regarded as a possibility for social advancement, as the historian states.
