There is a message spreading around the pro-Russian channels which describes the salary and payment situation for #RussianArmy soldiers. Anger and discontent are growing, according to them.
My translation:

The situation is catastrophic with the money allowances of the SVO (special military operation) participants.
The scale of the problem is already obscenely huge. This problem already exists in every military unit. In every battalion, company and platoon.
Total non-payment of promised and due allowances.
Volunteer units such as BARS suffer in particular in this sense. People who were going as volunteers to the front in spring-summer of 2022 are marinated and strangled by bureaucracy.
People wait half a year for a stamp on a piece of paper to prove that they are participants in military operation. Then the circles of hell begin at the military registration and enlistment offices.
The circles of hell are consistent in the fact that the bureaucratic machine at the military units is simply disgusting.
But the most egregious case I know is when a man was drafted on September 22, 2022, and on September 26 he was already in Svatovo.
We talked to him at the end of January and he had not received a penny from the Defense Ministry at that time! He only received a salary from his previous place of work on his card. But that was not all. He was injured in November. There is a certificate on form 100.
But they refuse to pay compensation on the grounds that they do not consider it severe enough!
This is just trash. A man called up for mobilization, he has been fighting for almost half a year, he was wounded and they don't pay him!
And I personally know dozens of such stories.
People grumble. Discontent and anger are accumulating. If the situation does not change, it will lead to a social explosion in the veteran community. Do you need it?
Strict measures must be taken to normalize the situation in this sector.
It is necessary either to return the financiers to the units or take other measures. But we can't go on like this. There will be an explosion next.

Big interview with Ukrainian colonel Oleh Faydyuk, Commander of the 45th Separate Artillery Brigade. He talks about the soldiers training, the beginning of the war, the Kharkiv offensive, the needs of the UA army, and recent battles in Donbas.
wartranslated.com/pravda-com-ua-…
My translation:
(Interviewer): Mr. Oleh, on February 24, there were 52 people in your brigade, which at that time had the status of a reserve brigade. Can you remember what the first days of the invasion were like for you?
(Oleh): I did not believe this invasion would happen until the last moment. According to the rules of engagement, the ratio of forces and means was insufficient to occupy a country like ours.

The Battle of Kruty took place on January 29 near Kruty railway station in the Chernihiv region, about 130 kilometers (81 mi) northeast of Kyiv.
/1
As Bolshevik forces of about 4,000 men, commanded by Mikhail Muravyov, advanced toward Kyiv, a small Ukrainian unit of 400 soldiers met them. The small unit consisted mainly of the Student Battalion, a unit of the Khmelnytsky Cadet School, and a Free Cossacks company.
/2
Over half of the 400 men were killed during the battle, which lasted up to five hours. Young people, like Spartan soldiers, died for the sake of their motherland in a struggle against foreign aggressors, and it was an example of their sacrifice and selfless love for their land

Great interview with latoon commander Heorhii, call sign Armani. He tells about his experience of fighting in northern Ukraine back in march, compares Wagner soldiers with other units, and describes the situation in Bakhmut. Source: censor.net wartranslated.com/afu-platoon-co…
My translation:

(Armani): At five in the morning, my colleague, the cashier, calls me and asks: "Heorhii, are we even working today? Something happened there," he recalled on February 24 last year. /1
- "She spoke very quickly, so at first, I didn't quite understand what had happened. I said: "Mira, don't worry, everything is fine. We are going out and working. If something really happens, I will know about it" [smiles]. /2

An informative interview from today with a sergeant of the 46th Airmobile Brigade, Oleksandr Pohrebyskyy. He talked about #Soledar, occupants without equipment, and the "not a step back" policy in Wagner's army. By pravda.com

Text also here: wartranslated.com/interview-ukra…
My translation:

(Interviewer): Mr.Oleksandr, thank you for agreeing to talk, and I will start with the main question: who controls Soledar now? /1
(Oleksandr): The Armed Forces of Ukraine fully control the situation [the conversation was recorded at 12 o'clock on January 11 – remark]. It would be incorrect to say the current situation as the fighting continues. /2

It is rare to find some interviews with Air Force soldiers. But here is a fascinating discussion with a well-known Ukrainian pilot Vadym Voroshylov with a call sign "Karaya" by pravda.com.

(Interviewer): Vadym, when I first saw you in the media, I remembered the Russian pilot captured in Chernihiv. He was so... chubby. Is it the enemy's problem with physique, or is it my stereotype about aviators who supposedly all have to be athletes? /1
(Vadym): (Smiles). It was Krasnoyartsev. I would not say that they have such a problem. But, indeed, we already have a new concept of flight personnel training. After 2014, the emphasis is more on young people as the main force of strike aviation. /2
