Relatives of Russian servicemen of the 5th Donetsk Brigade (military unit 41698), who disappeared after being imprisoned in the basement of Ocheretino for refusing to fight, recorded a video appeal demanding the return of the servicemen and providing them with medical assistance.
This is reported by ASTRA.
The videos are addressed to the head of the Russian Investigative Committee, Alexander Bastrykin, Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, and Defense Minister Andrei Belousov. More than 10 relatives of servicemen from this unit have also written statements and appeals to the prosecutor's office and the Russian Defense Ministry.
Women report missing relatives trapped in basements, many with serious injuries.
"They are practically rotting alive there. And people, their direct commanders, issue them with injury payments and receive them for them," one of the video messages says.
As reported, in Ocheretyne, temporarily occupied Donetsk region of Ukraine , Russian servicemen are being forcibly held in the basement of a private house.
