More than 2,500 Russian bodies ‘sent to Belarus in dead of night’ as Kremlin hides true death toll

Now, locals in Homel are reporting an influx of bodies in “black sacks”, with Mazyr’s only morgue reportedly overflowing by March 3.

“Passengers at the Mazyr train station were shocked by the number of corpses being loaded on the train,” one man said. “After people started shooting video, the military caught them and ordered them to remove it.”

There have also been reports of a surge of injured Russian soldiers arriving in need of medical attention.

“There are a lot of deaths. Limbs are being cut off and there are a lot of shrapnel wounds,” a human rights worker in Mazyr told The Telegraph last week. “All these are mostly very young guys born in 1998-2002.”

The sheer number of patients has reportedly triggered a shortage of surgeons, with locals being discharged to make space. There are also fears that there may soon be a shortage of everyday medications for the general population.

“There are so many wounded Russians there – it’s just a horror,” one resident told Radio Free Europe. “[They’re] terribly disfigured. It is impossible to listen to their moans throughout the whole hospital.”

But even in Homel, the exact picture is murky as doctors and nurses treating the injured have been ordered not to discuss the situation – underlining just how desperate officials are to stop casualty numbers reaching the Russian public.

“Those who could have said something, they were fired or they have quit,” the human rights worker said last week. “Those who have remained are forbidden to even take their phones to work. There is total control.”
