A Russian military officer posted what appeared to be a suicide note on his popular Telegram channel, days after reporting 16,000 Russian casualties at Avdiivka.
Andrei Morozov vaguely mentioned pressure from the command, including threats to withhold artillery shells, helicopters and tanks from the brigade and remove the post.
Morozov, whose channel “They are writing to us from Ioannina,'' which follows my 108,000 accounts, says he has “seen everything'' but is “too intimidated to say anything.'' told about the shocked soldiers of Avdiivka.
His regiment's chief medical officers register cases of shrapnel injuries, concussions and shell impacts, allowing soldiers to receive medical treatment before sending them into combat where “many people died.” He claimed that he had refused to do so.
“If no one dares to challenge this trivial issue, I will shoot myself. And they will give you tanks and helicopters,” read the post translated by Google.
“Friends, please do not mourn my death. Please refrain from making pompous speeches at my funeral.”
According to a Telegram account run under the name of lawyer Maxim Pashkov, Morozov shot himself overnight after the two spoke.
Sky News cannot independently confirm this report.
Morozov repeated the standard argument that the Kremlin justifies the war in Ukraine, saying it is ready to 'sacrifice' thousands of soldiers just to occupy Russia and 'prove its presence'. ” and “journalists who are building their careers.” About lies.”
Mr Morozov claimed he was threatened by “political prostitutes led by Russian TV host Vladimir Solovyov”.
Russian propaganda activists reportedly criticized Morozov after he detailed the heavy losses in Avdiivka.
