British Ministry of Defence expressing about the disciplinary problems in the Russian army that worsened after the start of forced mobilization.
According to British analysts, reliable research by independent Russian journalists indicates that between January and May 2023, Russian military courts heard 1,053 cases of unauthorized discharge of personnel (AWOL), more all in 2022.
British intelligence says the Russian military is trying to maintain discipline in its ranks, but their problems are likely to be exacerbated by the forced mobilization of reservists from October 2022.

“Russia’s efforts to improve discipline are focused on setting an example for deviants and encouraging patriotic fervor, rather than addressing the root causes of soldier failure,” the Defense Ministry said in a report.
