A group of Russian military recruits who were recently mobilized publicly protested and called on the authorities to pay those mobilized as promised, according to a video released by the independent portal Sota Vision.

The footage, said to be from the Omsk region in the southwest of the country, shows dozens of uniformed recruits, one of whom is making demands - to receive the money and benefits promised to them by the authorities, or be sent home to feed their families.

Funds for mobilization are not enough, admitted in Omsk region. The authorities of the region agreed with the military enlistment offices to give time to the mobilized people to reorganize the business (without specifying who), reports TASS. pic.twitter.com/w8HG1BE80n

"We have a question. First: Will there be salaries for those mobilized? I'm talking about the material help that our families need, they have to eat. They can send us out of here and we don't know what will happen to us. That is our first question, because we know that in other regions they are paid by the mobilized and everything is stable. Of course, we hope for the best and are ready to go. We are here, support us and our families", says the mobilized Russian.
