Russia lacks commanders in the central military district/Channel 24 collage< p _ngcontent-sc88="" class="news-annotation">On the 141st day of a full-scale war, the Russian occupation troops started talking about a shortage of personnel, including in administrative positions. The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine explained that this was due to significant losses in the personnel of the army of the aggressor country.
This is stated in the morning report of the department for July 14. In addition, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine noted that cases of unsatisfactory food supply for Russians are increasingly being recorded.
According to the available information of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Russia remains low level of staffing platoon commanders in the units of the 2nd Combined Arms Army of the Central Military District. The reasons are banal – significant losses at the front and refusal to participate in hostilities on the territory of Ukraine.
Experts note that the mass refusal to participate in the war is the first sign that the paths may soon face serious problems. Thus, the Russian opposition journalist Igor Yakovenko noted that at present many servicemen refuse to go to the front. It is known about the refusal of 500 people in the Krasnodar Territory and 200 people in Buryatia.
Russia may start recruiting mercenaries from prisons
At the same time, British intelligence notes, due to personnel problems against the backdrop of covert mobilization, Russia may turn to recruiting mercenaries from prisons. It is known that the invaders have stepped up recruiting in the Republic of Adygea. The gathering of recruits takes place at a military training ground near the Molkino farm, located in the Krasnodar Territory. Similar work is carried out in places of deprivation of liberty in Rostov-on-Don, St. Petersburg and Nizhny Novgorod. All of them are promised a full amnesty upon signing a contract for 6 months. Russia launched similar activities in the unrecognized Transnistria.
British intelligence explained why there will be no mobilization in Russia
According to British intelligence, the lower house of the Russian Parliament adopted simultaneously in the second and third readings a law allowing the government to introduce “special economic measures”.
According to intelligence, this is another attempt by the Kremlin to introduce economic measures to support a “special military operation” without an official announcement of the mobilization. thus, the aggressor state will avoid the recognition that it is participating in the war and will not allow the opinion that the Russian army is not capable of overcoming the Armed Forces of Ukraine to penetrate into society.
