Why are Russians still voluntarily going to war against Ukraine? There is only one reason for this.

The size of the Russian army is increasing despite massive losses. There is only one reason why Russian soldiers continue to sign contracts and go to kill Ukrainians.

What exactly drives them to go to war was explained in an interview with Novosti. Live by Denis White Rex Nikitin, the commander and founder of the Russian Volunteer Corps (RDK). According to him, there is only one reason — financial.

"Bloodthirsty maniacs, who wanted to kill Ukrainians for the sake of a great Russia, filled Ukrainian black soil in the early months of the war. Then come those whom I call the only ticket out of poverty. Multiply your salary, for example, by 10. And let everyone answer: would I go to war for that money?"

What Russian soldiers are told before being sent to Ukraine

Nikitin states that Russians are actually told before being sent to Ukraine: "Buddy, you'll be on the fifth line, digging trenches, you won't even need to take a weapon. Well, at most, you'll guard the supplies." However, it turns out that they are sent to the front lines in a meat assault, but by then it's too late.

"And when I talk to the captives, many of them feel deceived. They were promised to set up trenches and bunkers on the third line of defense, but in reality, they were captured in the first attack during the meat assault," he shares.

By the way, a captive from North Korea explained how he ended up in captivity and what he was told to do in case they had to capture Ukrainian soldiers.

A hundred turned to minced meat within 48 hours

The commander and founder of the Russian Volunteer Corps states that Russia's mobilization potential is vast.

"But considering how they conduct the war… I have surviving fighters left — two out of a hundred! This hundred turned to minced meat within 48 hours. The first 20 went forward — they died, then the next 20, and so on," he shares.

People are running out

In another situation, 250 people were sent forward on four armored personnel carriers, and ultimately, only 17 ended up in captivity. One of them, from the Wagner Group, shot himself. The others died. Those who jumped from the vehicles were crushed by their own. This is a staggering loss of personnel; people are running out.

Nikitin emphasized that no major Ukrainian city has been captured by the Russians. Everything that Russia has taken amounts to 4,500 square kilometers. Two Moscows. 300,000 to 350,000 people lie in layers around Avdiivka, floating in the Dnipro, and elsewhere. The losses are insane. That's why Egyptians and even North Koreans have come into play.

Russia's losses

As of January 15, Russia's losses in the war against Ukraine exceeded 812,000 soldiers. Their numbers are growing daily.

Previously, "Telegraph" reported that for the first time since 2022, Ukraine has an advantage over Russia in battle tanks.
