In the Russian forces on the eastern front, dissatisfaction is growing due to problems with supplying ammunition, food, and water. This was reported by Nazar Voloshyn, spokesman for the Khortytsia operational-strategic group during a TV broadcast.
"Soldiers from lower units are complaining about logistical support. They lack ammunition, food, and water. This has become a serious problem with the onset of cold weather and the absence of warm clothing. Soldiers are being sent to survive without food, water, or support. They feel like expendable resources. Their morale is low, and as a result, they are carrying out their duties with little motivation," said Voloshyn.
According to him, regular Russian soldiers are unhappy with their commanders and often refuse to carry out offensive actions against the Ukrainian Defense Forces.
"There is a noticeable negative attitude towards Russian commanders and even the higher political leadership of their country. There have been many cases where Russian commanders threaten to send their contract soldiers to the Vovchansk direction as punishment for refusing to conduct offensives against our forces. They've already taken heavy losses there, especially during the heroic elimination of soldiers from the 30th Regiment near Vovchansk. They are questioning what they are doing there. They are waking up to the reality, and Russian propaganda is quickly fading from their minds," Voloshyn added.
The total combat losses of Russian forces in Ukraine from February 24, 2022, to December 5, 2024, amount to approximately 748,950 personnel, with 1,580 casualties reported in the past day.
