A Russian military officer blurted out.

In Russia, for the first time they told about the Russian Armed Forces operation in Suja, Kursk region. Advancing along the main gas pipeline, Russian soldiers died without even going outside from its other edge, so they had to actually step over corpses.

Russian serviceman Alexei Silaev told about it. His words are quoted by the special project "I want to live".

What was happening in Suja

According to Silaev, being inside the tube Russian soldiers were without normal sleep, water and basic needs for weeks. To avoid dying of thirst, they collected and drank condensate that flowed down the pipe. To move, they had to actually step over the bodies of the dead, who were dying right in the pipe.

"Guys were dying, they stepped over the corpses. They put condensate in rags and drank it. It's impossible to sleep - you freeze to death because it's cold. And none of them ever received an award," says the occupant in the video.

It should be noted that during the Russian counterattack on Suja, enemy commanders ordered the advance on a gas main pipe to get behind the Ukrainian military. However, it later turned out that the gas pipeline contained methane, and as a result of methane inhalation, most of the occupants suffered chemical burns to their lungs.

Subsequently, those who survived died of lung cancer and pulmonary embolism in Russian hospitals. 820 Russian servicemen went inside the pipeline, but only 100 came out, attacked by Ukrainian FPV drones on the way out.
