Troops from Omsk are seen venting their discontent on camera in a clip that has been widely viewed online.
The soldier says that the group is from the 504th tank regiment, which trained as artillerymen in Omsk before being sent to the Chelyabinsk Oblast town of Chebarkul for further preparation at an artillery range.
"Communication with our command broke down," he said."The only officer who stayed with us, the chief of artillery, said, 'I am not your commander,'" and that the 504th regiment had been disbanded and had been told"we now belong to the Donetsk People's Republic Army." Ukrainian soldiers are pictured outside Bakhmut in Ukraine's Donetsk Oblast on January 18, 2023. Video purportedly showing Russian troops has been shared on social media showing them complain that they do not know who their commander is."We do not know who our commander is and what unit we belong to," he said, adding that there was"no communication" between his regimental commander and the chief of staff, who is a lieutenant colonel.
