Complaints of Russians about their own ineffectiveness against the Armed Forces of Ukraine/Channel 24 Collage

Probably, Putin's mercenaries did not expect that the Ukrainians would faithfully defend their country and mercilessly destroy the enemy. The invaders complain about the ineffectiveness of their own attacks on the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Such information was reported in the evening summary by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on Facebook. They came to the war against Ukraine in order to earn some money, to maraud and return home, but it turned out that the Ukrainian Defense Forces give great traction to uninvited guests.

According to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the moral and psychological state of the personnel of the Russian army remains low . In particular, they reported that the occupiers systematically consume alcoholic beverages, and also leave their places of military service without permission.

The personnel of the enemy units complain about the ineffectiveness of their attacks on the positions of the Defense Forces of Ukraine, – noted in the construction of the General Staff.

The demoralized Russian servicemen have been reported since the beginning of Russia's military invasion of Ukraine. However, Russians do not learn anything from someone else's example, and they continue to join the ranks of the Russian army. The Armed Forces of Ukraine have to explain once again to the occupiers that they are not welcome here – the Russians will either rot on Ukrainian soil or be behind bars for the rest of their lives.

How experienced militants from ORDLO leave their weapons and run away from the front< /h3>

Reliable sources of Channel 24 in the Ukrainian special services reported that terrorists from the so-called “DNR” and “LNR” massively despair of the Kremlin's propaganda. This also includes statements that “Russia has come to help the people of Donbass”, as well as that the war against Ukraine can be won.

Over the 8 years of the war in the Donbass, ideological groups of the military were formed there, who really believed that Russia was really protecting the Russian-speaking population of the Luhansk and Donetsk regions from harassment by Ukraine.

The militants who participated in the hostilities in the Donbass from 2014, now we saw how Russian artillery destroys entire cities, and also realized how weak the “second army in the world” is.

In particular, the so-called “contract soldiers” of the CADLO groups are very outraged by the attitude towards them from the side Russian command. They realized that they would be thrown to the front line, where it was almost impossible to stay alive. As a result of what they saw, the “elite” fighters massively lay down their arms and desert.

How Russians are fleeing the war in Ukraine: in brief

• Ukrainian intelligence reported. that the Kremlin's mercenaries massively refuse to carry out orders from the command to conduct active offensive operations on the territory of Ukraine. Enemy commanders are trying in every possible way to hide acts of disobedience.
• As early as February 26, mass desertion of Russians was reported. In addition, the facts of soldiers' refusal to carry out the criminal orders of their command have become more frequent. In response to this, the Russian authorities started talking about the death penalty.
• In early March, the Security Service of Ukraine reported that 600 marines mutinied near Odessa and did not leave the ship so as not to fight against Ukraine. Thanks to this resistance, the operation of the attack on Odessa was thwarted.
• Tsymbalyuk said that one of the companies of the motorized rifle brigade as a whole with the commander refused to go to the territory of Ukraine. It seems that the Russians realize that they will not return alive from the war in Ukraine.

The Russians shelled the Dnepropetrovsk region three times. The enemy attacked Pavlograd and the Sinelnikovsky district.

This was announced by the head of the Dnepropetrovsk OVA.

Probably today, Dnepropetrovsk region experienced more air raids in one day in the last three months. Today there are several “arrivals” at once,” Nikolai Lukashuk noted.
