Russian soldiers are lured into war by promises of high salaries, but often fall victim to brutal assaults. Reports TSN. This has been reported by Kontrakty.UA.
This opinion was expressed by Denis Nikitin, commander of the Russian Volunteer Corps (RDK) White Rex, in an interview with Novyny.LIVE.
“The motivation is solely financial, exclusively," – he emphasized.
According to him, they are promised lucrative earnings that are ten times higher than their usual income, and they are assured that they will be "on the fifth line," which does not involve participation in active combat. However, as Nikitin notes, these soldiers are often thrown into the most brutal assaults, finding themselves on the front lines.
"I call this the only ticket out of poverty. I reiterate that I do not justify any of these people. Yes, of course, some of them are told: “Buddy, you will earn ten times more, you will be on the fifth line, dig some trenches, set up bunkers, and you won’t even need to pick up a gun, you’ll just guard a supply depot at most." And then it turns out that they are pushed forward in a bloody assault, but by then it’s too late," – explained Nikitin.
He emphasized that among the Russians, there are bloodthirsty maniacs who want to kill Ukrainians for the sake of a greater Russia or their own bloodthirsty fantasies. However, most of these occupiers "enriched the Ukrainian black soil in the first year of the war."
As a reminder, the warriors of the 3rd Assault demonstrated precise drone operations against the enemy. As a result – minus one self-propelled howitzer, a mortar, two "BTRs," and several units of Russian automotive equipment.
