occupiers complain to their families about fatigue
British intelligence drew attention to a video published by Russian media on Dalny East, where the wives of the soldiers of the eastern military district appeal to the authorities to return their husbands home.
Russia claimed that the personnel of the 5th Separate Guards Tank Brigade were “morally and psychologically exhausted” because they had been fighting continuously since February 24.
The Russian Ministry of Defense cannot solve the army's problems
According to British intelligence , the lack of planned breaks in a tense combat situation is probably one of the most devastating among many other personnel problems that the Ministry of Defense of the aggressor country is trying to solve.
By the way, the Russian authorities are not going to announce a general mobilization in the country, they are simply afraid of it. The announcement of a general mobilization in Russia would mean for the Russians that “everything is not going according to plan.”
So, rotations and rest are not good for Russian soldiers. Local officials are looking for ways to delay the mobilization.
But in fact, in Russia everything has already gone according to plan, if mobilization is not announced, there will be no one to fight. After all, the losses of the invaders in Ukraine are colossal. As of July 11, the Armed Forces of Ukraine liquidated at least 37,000 infidels.
There is no declared “operational pause”
By the way, the American Institute for the Study of War reported that, despite the fact that that the Russians have taken an “operational pause”, they are participating in operations in order to prepare the conditions for future offensives.
However, exhaustion is audible. In today's summary of the General Staff, they also confirmed that there is no “pause” – there are offensives, but unsuccessful ones, like that at Maryinka over the past day. The invaders were driven back by Ukrainian defenders with heavy fire, they were forced to retreat.
