Russian Troops Being Told Their “Pay" is Only to be Used to Buy Their Own Ammo - They Are Refusing to Fight
A new video posted to social media on Friday reportedly shows Russian troops in Ukraine proclaiming they will no longer fight on behalf of their country due to lack of payment as well as not being given proper supplies.
"We...have to fight for our own money. All we've got left is to buy our own ammo," a soldier says in the video.
WarTranslated, an independent media project that translates materials about the war in Ukraine into English, shared the video on Twitter.

The group of soldiers all wore either medical face masks or gaiter masks, and various men spoke during the video. They claimed to have not received any payments from Russia since January and said they've been in combat for 10 months with no leave. Other grievances were also aired in the clip.

"Today, on July 6, they want to forcefully deploy us again in Novodarivka. So we will refuse," another added, according to WarTranslated.
They went on describe having "no heavy vehicles support" and "only rifles" to fight against Ukraine's tanks.
"All the items given to us by the army were destroyed by bombs. We have two shovels left for the whole company. That's nothing," one soldier said.
The clip ended with a troop wearing a mask emblazoned with a skull image saying, "We even blow up on our own mines."
