This is the emotional moment wives of mobilised Russian men – who ‘hid under corpses to survive’ – travelled close to the frontline to find their retreating husbands and demand commanders return them home from Putin’s war hell.
Up to 70 women had set off on foot from Belgorod to occupied Luhansk region in search of their spouses following a ‘massacre’ blamed on inept senior officers.
Some of the wives reached the men – who have pulled back from the frontline – and confronted commanders who have so far refused to permit them to leave the war zone.
The women from Kursk region walked and hitched lifts, some travelling for a week, to accuse army chiefs of abandoning their husbands after ‘only around 30 men survived’ from one group of 200 men.
‘We won’t leave them,’ a woman is heard telling an officer in Starobelsk.
‘We don’t trust you anymore.’
[Guess what they’ll be telling their neighbors and friends when they get back. — Ed]
