Vladimir Putin’s troops in Ukraine are miserable and exhausted, a video of Russian army wives has revealed as they plead for their husbands to come home.
Sixteen women recorded an emotional appeal to the head of their region, Buryatia, appealing for an end to a deployment which began when they were sent to Belarus in January for “drills."
The women called for their husbands to be returned, fearing their fate as widows, like hundreds of others from their region, if the war continues.
