War: Ukrainian Strike Hits Russian Barracks In Occupied Regions
On Friday Russia’s Ministry of Defence claimed the city of Soledar had fallen to the Kremlin’s troops and that the noose was tightening on Bakhmut.
Kyiv insisted that the city was still not fully under Russian control and that pockets of resistance remained.
If Soledar has fallen, then this would be the first major battlefield success for Russia’s commanders since the summer and should provide a huge boost to army morale.
However, Russian soldiers appear far from convinced that they should be waging war in Ukraine, according to a secret poll carried out by a brigade commander. A prominent Russian military blogger, Vladen Tatarsky, wrote on his Telegram channel that the commander asked his officers whether they wanted to kill Ukrainians every day.
To his dismay all but one indicated that they would rather not and would “prefer to go on vacation, and stay alive”. Tatarsky said the sole officer in favour of war dreamt only of how to kill the enemy day and night.
He described his appearance as being similar to that of North Korea’s brutal dictator, Kim Jong-un.
The military blogger added: “Our victory will come faster if the system in the army is built in such a way that people like our Kim Jong-un will rise through the ranks.
“I am sure that this moment should become a priority in the reform of the Armed Forces.” Russian troops continue to suffer from poor morale and to desert their units in high numbers, as they attempt to avoid being killed in fighting.
A study carried out by the Russian media outlet Vyorstka detected a huge increase recently in searches for “how to surrender” on Yandex.
