The Kremlin’s policy of sending hundreds of thousands of Russian men, including many prisoners, to war in Ukraine with little to no training or equipment has had predictable effects back on the home front: numerous soldiers have committed violent crimes upon returning home, and the country reportedly has a critical shortage of psychologists trained to treat PTSD.
The Russian authorities have been reluctant to criticize these veterans, with Putin calling for them to become the country’s “new elite.” But according to inside sources, the Putin’s team is well aware of the risks the returnees pose and fears Russian society isn’t prepared to accept them.
I have zero sympathy for Putin or his enablers. I have great sympathy for the rest of Russian society who’ll be left to pick up the pieces after draftees return home injured and traumatized. Almost no one asked for this. It’s too bad we couldn’t just send Putin & Co to an isolated location and let them do whatever they do without harming anyone else.
Naa a large portion of russians are for this war. It’s a minority that’s been against it.
You are surely Russian and know what you are talking about? Thought so.
Go away russian apologists.
I live in Russia, so not an apologist. I can’t confirm what you said.
