Russian soldiers increasingly began to refuse to fight in Ukraine. This indicates a lack of preparation and motivation.
In the Russian army, there is a high level of refusal to fight due to lack of training and motivation. About this August 30 reported UK Department of Defense in a report based on intelligence.
It was noted that on August 25, a military court sentenced two Russian soldiers to at least two years in a penal colony for refusing to comply with an order to return to the front in Ukraine. Mediazon reports that Russia condemns about 100 soldiers a week for refusing to fight.
“If this trend continues, there will be approximately 5,200 convictions per year for refusing to fight,” the statement said.
According to analysts, the high level of conviction indicates the low morale of the Russian army and the unwillingness of some to fight. The decline likely reflects the lack of training, motivation and high stress faced by Russian soldiers across the Ukrainian front line.
Even if some soldiers refuse to fight, and the army’s attrition rate remains high, Russia will likely compensate for their losses by sending a mass of poorly trained soldiers to the front lines. .
“Following the partial mobilization in September 2022, Russia adapted its strategy of warfare, using pure mass for offensive and defensive operations,” added the British Defense Ministry.
It was previously reported that over the past two months, Russia has likely begun building large new formations to bolster its ground forces. Including the 25th combined arms army.
