Russian wives of mobilised men demand commanders return them home

Wives of mobilised Russian men travelled to the frontline to find their husbands and demand commanders return them home from Putin’s war.

Up to 70 women had set off on foot from Belgorod to occupied Luhansk region in search of their spouses and confronted commanders who have so far refused to permit them to leave the war zone.

The women from Kursk region accuse army chiefs of abandoning their husbands after “only around 30 men survived” from one group of 200 men.
