From the MT:
“Mobilized Russians Launch
Strike to Protest Lack of Payment”
More than 100 mobilized Russian
men have gone on strike at their training center in central Russia to protest
their lack of payment. The men, who hail from the republic of Chuvashia, said
they still haven’t received the promised sum of 195,000 rubles ($3,170) and
refuse to fight in Ukraine until they are paid. “They are sending us to war for
pennies,” one of the mobilized men told the 7x7 news website. “We’re being
cheated here.” On Tuesday night, draftees at the training center in the Volga
River city of Ulyanovsk staged a protest to demand payment until security
forces broke up the gathering, 7x7 reported.
The men announced a strike the
following morning. “We are risking our
own lives, going to certain death for your safety and peaceful lives,” the
draftees wrote in an appeal published by the Gulagu.net prisoner’s rights
project. “For whose sake, then, should we go to fight for this government,
leaving our families without support? We refuse to participate in the special
military operation and will seek justice until we are paid the money promised
by our government headed by the president of the Russian Federation!”
A “total strike” continues at the
military center in Ulyanovsk, 7x7 cited its source as saying, with the men
refusing to attend training sessions. Shooting classes at the Ulyanovsk
training center have been canceled and the center's weapons storage rooms have
been locked, the Sota news outlet reported Wednesday, citing unnamed sources.
^ Sadly, these Men aren’t
protesting the War or the Rape, Torture and Mass Murder their Country is doing
in Ukraine. They are merely protesting not being paid. So, once they do get
paid they will go to Ukraine and be immediately killed by the Ukrainians who have
better weapons, better equipment, better training, better food and a better
(moral) cause. ^
