The “surprise attack” made by Russia’s troops against the rear of the Ukraine Armed Forces, and praised by Russian propagandists, left most of the soldiers involved in the seriously ill attack in the hospital, as the newspaper has reported the newspaper .
In March, it was reported that the Russians had traveled more than 15 kilometers through a gas pipeline near the city of Sudzha, in the Kursk region. The objective was to launch an attack on the Ukrainian rear, but the soldiers had to stay whole days in formation. Meanwhile, Ukraine says he was aware of the intentions of the Russians.
The greatest general of the Russian army Api Alaudinov told the state news agency Tass that the soldiers who participated in the operation now suffer serious health problems. “Most are still in treatment. The time they spent in the tube had a very strong effect on their internal organs and their lungs and respiratory tract were seriously damaged,” he said.
The Russian media controlled by the Kremlin have previously praised the operation as an act that will go down in history. According to the Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Russia, Valery Gerasimov, in the attack on the pipeline, up to 600 military participated, but other estimates have also been presented. Russia has not commented so far about the health status of the military who participated in the operation of the gas pipeline.
However, among the bloggers of war and some propagandists who support the offensive war, the strategy of the pipeline has been criticized for being poorly planned, due, among other things, to the lack of supplies and ventilation, according to the Finnish medium. The Russian forces finally regained control of the city of Sudzha on March 12 after an attack that caused huge losses.
