The Defense Ministry declared on state-run television late last year that all soldiers who suffer amputations or lost limbs in the war will get the “best” prosthetics.
One man who lost his left arm in the war returned home and waited patiently for months for his new prosthetic arm promised by the Defense Ministry—but when the day finally came, all he got was a metal rod.
“It’s just a metal stick with a plastic tip!” 48-year-old Vadim Sharipov vented to Radio Free Europe’s Siberian service. “Why should I be happy with a stick instead of a prosthesis?! At first they stalled, then they refused to admit that it was shoddy work, and as time goes on, the muscles will atrophy and then no prosthesis will be needed,” he said, adding that he is now suing in a bid to get a better prosthetic.
“even you, bald man”
Ha!
Keep complaining and you will be sent to one of Siberia’s finest rehabilitation units!
Boo-fucking-hoo.
He’s lucky he got out with his life. As for needing to lie to his daughter about how the limb was lost, what a fucking coward – doesn’t even have the balls to tell her he lost it in a war of aggression.
Somewhere there are fabulous yachts and dachas funded by the money allocated for rehab and prosthetics.
and…
Putin’s Will raise a glass champagne on their limbs.
And yet they’ll keep blaming Ukraine and the West for all their problems instead of the people who’ve lied, stole, and cheated them..
Where’s my violin? I can never find it when I need it!
