“Spare people”. Russian MP and ex‑DPR leader Alexander Borodai caught on tape describing Russian volunteers as expendable in Ukraine war

An audio recording of a phone conversation has been circulating online, in which one speaker refers to Russian volunteers dying in Ukraine as “spare people” and dismisses their value “from a social perspective.” The voice on the recording is widely believed to be that of State Duma deputy Alexander Borodai, head of the “Union of Donbas Volunteers” and former leader of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic. The exact date of the recording is unknown, though a version was posted on VK in mid-September. Pro-war supporters haven’t questioned the claim that it’s Borodai’s voice—in fact, last week, Mikhail Polynkov, a Russian fighter with the callsign “Khrustalik,” and even the ultra-nationalist outlet Tsargrad discussed the recording. Mediazona now publishes a transcript of this revealing monologue.
They’re seen as second-rate infantry. In reality, they’re positioned on the front lines as defensive units, set to hold the line. Their real task is to draw attention and exhaust enemy forces as much as possible while others in the rear prepare for the main offensive. Just wear them down, you understand? No one expects these forces to achieve some f****** incredible—or even small—victory. They’re simply cannon fodder.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
Russia apparently has lots of "spare people" to expend on the Ukrainian battlefields...

Messina appears to be a pure, one issue propaganda site. You can do better. I am surprised you are not posting excerpts of Mein Kampf.

Russia absolutely does not have ‘spare people’ It has a declining birth rate and can’t afford to lose working age men to a useless war.
Putin and co are mad and evil.

Our leaders/rulers think the same about the citizens of this nation. We are not only expendable, we are referred to as garbage.
Perhaps you view us that way too. For as far as I can see, you care more about Ukraine than you do this nation..
Why is that? Don't feed me your usual BS that you care about Ukraine, because nothing this nation has done under its current leadership, has provided Ukraine with anything more than money, which ends up being funneled back to the enemies from within this nation, who also do not care about thus nation either.

Meanwhile, in Europe, a “far-right” populist leader won a first round and is in the runoff election. In classic, European style, it is explained:
“Georgescu lacks an agenda, Andrei added, and has a vague and populist manifesto with positions that are “beyond the normal discourse.” His stances include supporting Romanian farmers, reducing dependency on imports, and ramping up energy and food production.”

Just an observation not based on a study. These 3 Ukr POWs were recently captured. I’m no expert at telling age based on looks but I’d say the average age is 50??? I’d say Russ is not the only country running out of warm bodies. madness ☮️

Which is why Putin is now bringing in North Korean cannon fodder, i.e. “spare people,” because he’s running out of Russian cannon fodder, i.e “spare people.”
