As the conflict between Russia and Ukraine persists, it is clear that both sides have suffered significant losses among their troops. Nevertheless, this was not what Russia expected when it initiated the conflict with its neighbor.
The Kremlin believed that capturing Kiev would be relatively easy, but the Ukrainians have mounted a strong and commendable defense against their aggressors. A video shared on the social media platform X has left viewers around the world in disbelief as Russian soldiers prepare to engage Ukrainian forces.
In the footage, these Russian troops are seen receiving weapons and ammunition. Their commander informs them that there is a bullet designated for each soldier. He further instructs them that if they do not survive, they should take their own lives to avoid being captured as prisoners of war by Ukrainian forces.
It is astonishing that these soldiers are provided with bullets rather than first aid kits by their commander. It is evident how these troops have been reduced to mere pawns of Vladimir Putin, sent into the combat zone with the expectation of dying for him.

Russia is experiencing significant losses, and its military is gradually being diminished. This situation has led Russian President Vladimir Putin to recently authorize a decree to enlist over 160,000 individuals into the armed forces. Analysts worldwide suggest that if U.S. President Donald Trump had not withdrawn American assistance for Ukraine, Moscow would likely be in a much weaker position by now.
