In this way, the Russians are trying to hide the real state of their losses in Ukraine, informs Railway Supply magazine.

The Kremlin is constantly trying to maintain public support through propaganda for a “special military operation,” which is essentially a war in which innocent people die.

Supporting such sentiments in Russia must be a difficult task, given the losses suffered by the invader. According to the latest information from the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, from February 24 to April 4, about 18.3 thousand Russian soldiers died in Ukraine.

Turkish Bayraktar drones used by the Armed Forces of Ukraine are sowing fear among Russians in Ukraine.


According to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Russians have already lost: 647 tanks, 1844 armored combat vehicles, 330 artillery systems, 107 missile systems, 54 air defense systems, 147 aircraft, 134 helicopters, 1273 vehicles, 7 ships and boats, 76 tankers, 92 unmanned aerial vehicles and 4 Iskanders.

In many cases, damaged Russian equipment remains abandoned on the battlefield. Then they are taken care of by Ukrainian railway workers, who use the obtained parts to create anti-personnel and anti-tank barriers.

Part of the equipment is transported by Russians to Belarus, where, as it turns out, they fall into wagons with coal in order to hide the truth about the losses of the Russian army during transportation.

Such transport was seen in Gomel, Belarus. Stations in the city perform a rear function for the Russian army.

There is a lot of equipment, the wagons are stretched across the station, writes the Community of Belarusian Railway Workers.

This organization is in opposition to Lukashenka’s regime. They report any actions of the railroad workers sabotaging the transportation of Russian equipment and are being pursued by the Lukashenka regime.

According to the Community of Belarusian Railway Workers, a transport with heavy equipment arrived in Khoiniki. The Russians will send new equipment to the border with Ukraine, the areas where it is located will be patrolled by Belarusian services.

The wagons on the platforms include: 14 units of BMD-4M, 10 units of BTR-MD “Rakushka”, two units of BTR-ZD with a 23 mm ZU-23-2 anti-aircraft gun, BTR-D, self-propelled unit.
