DON’T COME TO UKRAINE - A Russian soldier desperately pleads. #shaunpinner #ukrainewar

Russian Desperation:
This short captures one of the most raw and desperate realities of Russia’s war in Ukraine. In the video, a Russian soldier makes a direct, heartbreaking appeal to his compatriots: “Don’t come here. Think of your children. This isn’t our war. There were 20 of us… and I am the only one left.”

The footage has been blurred to protect viewers from the most graphic imagery, but its message remains powerful. What you see is the collapse of Russia’s propaganda, soldiers promised glory and quick victories, now abandoned on the battlefield with no support, no reinforcements, and no way home. His radio is silent. His comrades are dead. And he is left asking why.

This is not just one man’s story, it is the story of thousands of Russian conscripts and mobilized men who are used as expendable cannon fodder. Behind every statistic are human beings destroyed by Vladimir Putin’s decision to invade Ukraine.

Context
• Russia continues to forcibly mobilize men from across the country, as well as occupied Ukrainian territories.
• Many are sent to the front lines with minimal training, outdated equipment, and no proper support.
• Reports from survivors and captured soldiers show the same pattern: abandonment by commanders, catastrophic losses, and silence on the radio when things go wrong.
• The Kremlin denies these realities at home — but on the battlefield, the truth cannot be hidden.

Why this matters

This short is not just about one soldier, it is about the truth breaking through censorship. Russians are told this war is about “defense,” “liberation,” or “historic mission.” Yet the ones sent to die know the truth: Ukraine is defending itself, and Russia is burning through its own people in pursuit of an imperial dream.

As Ukrainians fight for survival, Russian soldiers are left questioning why they are even here. Some, like the soldier in this video, risk speaking out even in their last moments.
