Vladimir Putin has lost more than 1 million men and he is growing so desperate he is sending disabled people to fight his war in Ukraine, and now a 53 old man was dragged out of hospital on crutches.
According to a Russian independent media outlet, ASTRA Igor Tishchenko who lives in the Donetsk region suffered spinal injures whilst at a training ground.
The injury prevents him from moving or turning his head, however the Russian military do not give a damn and dragged him from his hospital bed wearing slippers and he is using crutches.
In October 2023 Tishchenko signed a military contract and he was injured around a year later and after nine months in hospital the military removed him on a stretcher.

He has been diagnosed with diabetes and coronary heart condition, he was signed off by doctors as Category “D” meaning he is “unfit” to fight, despite this the military took him away and has been sent for combat duties in Avdiivka.
Tishchenko’s wife Elena told ASTRA, “On the evening of the 7th, as he was in tights and slippers, they put him in a car and took him to Avdiivka.
“On November 8, around one o’clock in the afternoon, he contacted me for the last time and said: ‘That’s it, we’re on our way, we’re being sent.’ He hasn’t been in touch since. He’s alive there, inanimate, they just want to get rid of him.”
“What is he supposed to do there on crutches?
“He has now been sent to Avdiivka on crutches to an assault brigade and sent into battle. What kind of war do they want to win with the disabled?!”
She said her husband’s deputy commander Maxim Semenich, of the 1453rd regiment refused to sign him off sick and has been sent out to fight.

Ukrainian military has confirmed they have seen five cases of men who are either disabled or have diseases serving on the frontlines.
Putin’s forces are suffering mass casualties and experts have said this shows Moscow is prepared to thrown men into the meatgrinder to gain a few inches of land.
British intelligence has estimate that Russia has massed around 1.118 million of casualties and so far in 2025 an estimated 332,000 have been killed or wounded.
Russian troops are using zombie waves in an attempt to overwhelm Ukrainian defences, this is failing and the losses continue to grow for the Kremlin.
