Ukraine Mocks Russia's 'Squid Game'-like Soldiers' Quarters [Watch]

The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine on Thursday published a video showing the quarters of Russian soldiers that looked similar to the room of participants in the Netflix series "Squid Game."

The Ministry of Defense also quipped that while streaming giant Netflix has already exited the Russian market amid the war, "Squid Game" still remains.

"Until recently, Russians have been enjoying the 'Squid Game' series on Netflix. After Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Netflix left the Russian market, but 'Squid Game' remains," the post read.

Many social media users commented on the Defense Ministry's post, uploading memes that also appeared to mock the Russian army's quarters.

In one meme, a "Squid Game" actor was seen visibly upset when told that he needed to report to Russia's mobilization center.

In another post, a social media user uploaded a snippet from the "Squid Game" that showed the Netflix series' infamous guards.

The video posted by the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine is the latest in a string of evidence pointing to cramped conditions in the Russian army's living quarters.

Footage posted on the Baza Telegram channel Monday showed many of Moscow's new conscripts sleeping on the floor due to a lack of beds at the mobilization centers. Another clip shared by the Twitter account Ukraine Reporter showed a Russian conscript recounting how his unit members are being denied access to food, water and the bathroom after complaining about their cramped quarters.

In addition to suffering from poor living conditions, new Russian conscripts are also being asked to buy everything they would need on the battlefield using their own money, including winter gear and military equipment, according to a report from the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (UAF).

Some units were also told they should buy their first aid kits and women's tampons that they could use to treat bullet wounds on the battlefield, adding that the Russian army would not be providing them with their basic needs.

The videos of the conditions in Russian quarters after President Vladimir Putin announced a partial mobilization last week. The order will call up as many as 300,000 reservists to bolster Moscow's army in the war in Ukraine.
