Soldiers from South Ossetia describe what they encountered after being forced to go fight in Ukraine...

“During these 11 days, what happened there -- I won’t wish it on the enemy,” one of the servicemen began. - All the equipment...it was not good, I speak bluntly. When we arrived there, we were all put in a row - literally two kilometers from the combat zone. The support platoon and medical company should be in the rear, and not two kilometers from the combat zone. The command staff was not there. And that night the mortars started firing."
According to him, the person who sent them there "did not understand what he was doing."
“There was no command. And if the officers did not know what to do, then what would the sergeant do there? In the second battalion, 99% of the equipment does not work, we told them [senior in rank] about this here."
"We warned: our cars don't work, don't send us there. From the other company, the guys said that their guns did not fire. They were told, 'Go like this.'"
Ends with the South Ossetian leader asking if they think Russia will lose the war and a solider responds, “Yes, we believe that they will lose.”
