Russian soldiers sent their families a desperate video, saying they were being led by a 'drunk' commander and without the supplies to survive

• A new video shows Russian troops raising the alarm about their treatment by commanders in Ukraine.
• The 50 or so mobilized soldiers said they weren't given food or ammo, and weren't being paid on time.
• They warned that they were being led by a "drunk commander" to reinforce positions in Bakhmut.

Around 50 mobilized Russian troops in Ukraine sent their families a desperate plea for help in a newly-surfaced video, saying they were brought to the frontlines by a "drunk" commander and given no supplies to survive.

In a video addressed to their relatives, the men from the 85th Brigade gathered solemnly in a building in Svetlodarsk and said they'd been sent to fight in Bakhmut without food, ammo, or fire support, according to a Sunday Telegram post by independent Russian outlet Astra.
