Russian soldiers who abandoned undamaged equipment are being demanded to be brought to justice
In the SVO area, there is a big problem with negligence and deserters - the so-called “five hundredths”, that is, those who fled and abandoned equipment, so it is necessary to develop a regulatory framework for punishment.
Military correspondent Alexander Sladkov stated this on air at Solovyov Live, PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“We need to take some steps to conserve ammunition. Well, what is it? They unload it onto the grass, bam - and that’s it! In general, I propose to introduce military courts and a separate regulatory framework for them. This does not mean that “We must shoot!”, that’s not what I mean. But the punishment must be, as is customary among us, among the “Asians,” quick and immediate.
Well, during the Great Patriotic War it was very tough, and probably rightly so, but we have not yet reached such a situation. Plus the 500th,” said Sladkov.
“Crapped?” – Vladimir Solovyov clarified.
"Yes. The term is correct. The point is that these people also need to be punished immediately. And it is necessary to adopt a regulatory framework specifically for the Northern Military District,” said the military correspondent.
“When I see our abandoned tanks - they weren’t even blown up, I always wonder who they were assigned to and why this happened,” Solovyov added.
It was recognized that the Russian Armed Forces, when retreating during the breakthrough of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kharkov region, left intact equipment and Russian military experts.
“The Ukrainian side publishes photographs of captured equipment taken during the breakthrough near Balakleya. Some are damaged, but we are talking about several dozen units of tracked and wheeled vehicles, including self-propelled guns, MLRS, various armored fighting vehicles and trucks,” wrote columnist Boris Rozhin.
And military publicist Vladislav Shurygin believes that there should be responsibility for abandoned equipment:
“The generals have their own demand, but those who, while retreating, did not destroy the equipment they left behind, did not blow up the warehouses, must have their own demand. The rear guards definitely had time!”
