In the first part of this video you see a group of Russians appealing for help to authorities after having exhausted a number of different avenues to locate a whole group of Russian soldiers. The batallion seems to have disappeared without a trace. Contracts should have been sent to the relatives, but they were not.
In the second part a woman asks why the mobilized soldiers are not given even a back-pack when they enter military service. The governor of the region has some rather creative answers. Amazing.
