Although there have been no major unrests in Ukraine in recent months, the fighting is still very bloody for both parties to the conflict. There is even increasing evidence that Russian losses are so great that some units are refusing to attack.
Russia is silent about its losses, the exact amount of which is not known, but its soldiers are experiencing difficult times in Ukraine. For Vladimir Putin they are expendable and it doesn’t matter how many of them he sacrifices, but on the front there is a different mood, writes the Kyiv Post.
According to the spokeswoman for the Ukrainian southern command, Natalya Humenyukova, the Russian losses are so great that the elite units refuse to continue the attacks. “They don’t want to engage in frontal attacks,” she said. According to her, every Russian ground attack near the village of Krynky recently resulted in 50 percent casualties.
Such a claim is supported by other members of the Ukrainian army, who say there are visible signs of weakening the morale of Russian soldiers. “On the way, 20 of them were simply lost. When they listened to the radio, it turned out that they sabotaged the order and went somewhere so that they didn’t have to launch an attack,” says Stanislav Bunyatov of the 24th Battalion.
The Russian army practically always follows the same strategy. A similar situation was already discussed during the battles of Avdijivka and Bakhmut, Business Insider wrote last year in its article, which referred to the words of the leader of Wagner’s group, Yevgeny Prigozhin. He called this strategy a meat grinder.
Before his death in June, he said that around 20,000 Russians had been killed, for which he sharply criticized the country’s leaders, including Vladimir Putin.
