THE wives of mobilised Russian soldiers caught up in a massacre in Ukraine have confronted their commanders in an extraordinary protest, amid Putin’s faltering invasion.
Astonishing video captures the moment up to 70 military spouses accuse army chiefs of abandoning their men.
The women walked some 140 miles from the Russian city of Belgorod to Starobilsk in Luhansk, a Ukrainian region under Russian occupation since September, to find their husbands.
In emotional scenes, the group, all from the Kursk region of western Russia, blamed Putin’s commanders for a “massacre” and said generals had prevented their men from leaving the battlefield.
Reports claim only “around 30” men from a battalion of some 200 survived.
