Families Of Mobilized Freshmen In Penza Demand Military Prosecutor Should Withdraw Their Relatives From Front Line

A collective complaint was written by about 30 women, among them mothers and spouses called up for war.

Relatives of the men mobilized for the war in the Penza region wrote a collective statement to the military prosecutor, in which they demanded that their relatives be recalled from the front line. This was reported by the NeMoskva Speaks Telegram channel.

A collective complaint was written by about 30 women, among them mothers and spouses of those called up for war. Their relatives were sent to the front without proper training, they said. According to the women, the mobilized freshmen have practically no food, water, or normal weapons.

Instead of training, the mobilized men were given lectures on heroism, the women told journalist Igor Alekseev. He also said that the governor of the region could not meet with the townspeople because of the tight schedule.

The women demand that the mobilized freshmen be immediately withdrawn from the forefront, given proper training, given command, uniforms and food, and provided with medical and psychological assistance. In addition, they call for organizing an investigation into the fact of what happened, and punishing those responsible.

NeMoskva Speaks published excerpts from the women's collective statement. They say that the newly mobilized soldiers were brought to the area near the village of Makiivka in the Luhansk region. They were supposed to join the defense on the fourth front line, but they were sent to the forefront.

A similar story was published yesterday by Vyorstka. Serviceman Aleksei Agafonov told how he was brought to the front not far from the same village of Makiivka. His battalion, which mainly consisted of those mobilized in Voronezh, came under massive shellfire.

Relatives of the newly mobilized men in Voronezh also gathered outside the prosecutor's office yesterday. They demanded to tell the truth about the fate of the servicemen. The governor of the Voronezh region met with them later. He promised to withdraw the drafted residents of the region from the front line and send them to the rear.

Today, the Insider also reported that reservists who refused to fight are being held in a special camp in the “DPR”. According to the publication, now there are 21 people there. They are held in the basement, forced to dig dugouts, threatened to be sent to the front line or shot. At the same time, at least eight mobilized had a reservation armor.
