Near Vuhledar Russian units are refusing to advance and writing letters of complaints
[Twitter] Near Vuhledar Russian units are refusing to advance and writing letters of complaints to their commanders and governors about their situation.

The cause: The 155th Marine Brigade tried to take Pavlika and Vuledar and got spanked hard.

And here is the letter itself from the 155th Marine Brigade that is on everyone's lips today. The brigade was ordered to advance to Uhledar via Pavlivka. They mention 300 casualties (dead and wounded) in just 4 days, and these are marines.


The grandiose claims about successful operations by Russians in Pavlivka and Uhledar direction have changed
for "urgent appeals to the higher-ups to do something about it", as Sladkov cries about it in his latest post.

"Vostok" commander Khodakovsky with an even more grim conclusion: he does not believe in the success of this operation anymore, despite the previously positive outlook.

1 Ukrainian population 43 million.
Russian population 143 million.

The Russian army is feeding new draftees into Ukrainian kill zones until Ukraine runs out of bullets???

4 The Russian Army has long (at least a century) believed in human wave attacks. They use them to (1) get rid of people they didn't want and (2) soak up enemy munitions.

7 Better NAFO than MOFO. Dmitri translates what the Russians themselves write and say.

But wait, there's more. Seems there was another Russian Naval Infantry (40th) brigade that was supporting the main assault.

Russian telegram author who previously spoke about losses at Pavlivka, put another update saying he believes the losses are far higher than reported by MoD, mentioning large tank losses.

He expects public outcry when the battle is over and surviving mobiks return.
