Wanted: Russian men to die in Battle of Avdiivka – Russian ‘widows’
Read NV on Google
Russian propaganda has taken an unusual turn by actively promoting participation in the Avdiivka assault as if it were a thrilling tourist adventure, rather than a direct ticket to hell.
Ironically, these calls have been noticed, particularly on the Telegram channel Soldiers' Widows of Russia.
"The assault on Avdiivka is a landmark event, like the Battle of Kursk and the Battle of Kulikovo. An event that will be talked about for centuries, and the participants will become heroes forever. Hurry up to sign a contract with the Russian Army to join the list of these heroes. We need people who are ready to fulfill this historic mission, those who have no fear. Become a part of the Russian legend," Russian "widows" promise their naive fellow citizens.
Russia has lost around 10,000 military personnel in just a single month of active offensive operations in Avdiivka, Ukraine’s Commander-in-Chief, Valery Zaluzhnyi, said on Nov. 10.
Russia has sustained casualties of between 300,000-400,000 killed and wounded in its full-scale invasion of Ukraine so far, and is losing between 500-1,000 a day in heavy fighting in Avdiivka, Western media reports, citing military officials.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
