P.S. In the Russian army, a soldier is a disposable item! The real "Russian world" is very different from the picture painted by Kremlin propaganda and stupid Russophiles...
The fleeing Russian army leaves destruction everywhere, dirt, mines, unexploded ammunition, equipment, burnt tanks and their fallen soldiers...
