1/ A Russian general has reportedly forbidden troops in the Kherson region from recovering the bodies of the dead. With temperatures approaching 40°C, this is likely to worsen the already extreme conditions currently being endured by the Russians. ⬇️
2/ The VChK-OGPU Telegram channel report that Colonel-General Mikhail Teplinsky has issued an order, in effect for the last two weeks, forbidding the men of the 18th Army to collect and remove the bodies of fallen Russian soldiers. He is said to have given no clear reason. Image
3/ Teplinsky's behaviour is said to have changed markedly following a reported injury in a Ukrainian attack on his command post in June. The nature of his injury has not been disclosed, but a traumatic brain injury could explain the behavioral change.
4/ According to a source: "Inadequacy in the general's behaviour towards his subordinates began to manifest itself after the last wound he received as a result of a strike on the command post of the Dnipro troop grouping at the end of June."
5/ "Teplinsky simply stopped being recognised [as the same person]." /end

1/ Ukraine is currently enduring searing heat (up to 36°C / 97°F) as south-eastern Europe experiences a record-breaking heatwave for weeks on end, in the second warmest July ever recorded globally. Russian soldiers are complaining about their excessively hot uniforms. ⬇️ Image
2/ The Russian milblogger Vault 8 – a serving soldier – writes on Telegram:

"In Ukraine we gain experience of war in a hot (sometimes especially hot) climate.

This applies to everything. Increased consumption of drinking water and more frequent washing.
3/ "Hygiene and prevention of infectious epidemics: typhus, cholera and the like. Timely evacuation of the bodies of the dead. Ventilation of premises. Heating the casings of unburied mines, glowing in the thermal imager. Overheating of electric generators.

1/ Russia's war effort in Ukraine is still hampered by lying commanders, corrupt bureaucrats, an ineffective military-industrial complex, a lack of defences against drones, and chronic shortages of men and equipment, according to a Russian journalist and military commentator. ⬇️ Image
2/ Vladislav Shurygin, an ultranationalist journalist and commentator on Russian military affairs, has written a lengthy complaint on his Telegram channel about the state of the Russian war effort. He says it is leading to massive and unnecessary losses on the Russian side. Image
3/ After castigating the indifference of officials and the man on the street, who he says is waiting for "'friend Trump' to give the order to end the war", he complains that "any initiative, any business drowns without a trace in the bureaucratic swamp."

1/ The CEO of a Russian defence contractor has been arrested over the alleged theft of 2 billion rubles ($22.6m) in relation to the supply of bulletproof vests to Russian forces fighting in Ukraine. It's the latest in a long series of Russian military procurement scandals. ⬇️ Image
2/ Andrei Esipov, the general director of the Picket Group of companies, the group's financial director Victoria Antonova and its security chief Mikhail Kalchenko were arrested in April 2024 on suspicion of "especially large-scale theft in the supply of bulletproof vests".
3/ The three have been in pre-trial detention in advance of a hearing in June, when they were all charged with fraud under Article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. All three pleaded not guilty and claimed that the case had been fabricated.

1/ Adding another perspective to The Economist's recent reporting on Russian casualties in Ukraine (see thread below), the Russian milblogger 'Vault 8' comments that almost everyone he knows who fought in Ukraine has been killed or wounded.
2/ He writes:

"A friend mentioned in a conversation that almost all of his acquaintances with whom he had been in contact on 24.02.2022 had died.

I decided I'd do some calculations based on my own circle. Here's what I got.

Of those I personally knew and shook hands with:
3/ - 6 died, including an old friend (by Special Military Operation standards).
- 5 were wounded, 3 of them seriously, and did not return.
- 2 are on the verge of losing their health. One has a mental condition, the other has a back problem, nerve compression in the lower back.

1/ Russian soldiers are still being sent to fight in Ukraine with broken legs, despite protests from Russian milbloggers. Meanwhile, injured soldiers who recorded a video last week have had their crutches taken away or have been sent to a torture camp. ⬇️ Image
2/ The Russian blogger Anatasia Kashevarova reports that after a video was recorded by 50 injured soldiers in Ukraine, "more messages came about sending untreated mobilised/contract soldiers to the front from the Samara region and from other regions."
3/ The picture at the top of this thread shows a man with an external fixator on his leg, who Kashevarova says is waiting in the Samara region settlement of Roshchinsky for a bus to take him to the 'Donetsk People's Republic' in Ukraine. Image

1/ Badly wounded Russian soldiers, some on crutches, are being sent to fight in Ukraine. Russian milbloggers say it is because of huge losses and shortages of personnel, as well as bureaucratic mismanagement and the military's culture of lying to superiors. ⬇️
2/ The Russian blogger Anatasia Kashevarova (a former adviser to State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin and then to the LDPR party) has posted an angry denunciation of the army's treatment of the men of the 26th Tank Regiment, based in Mulino in the Nizhny Novgorod region.
3/ A recent video shows visibly injured men on crutches pleading to be taken out of the battlefield. According to Kashevarova, they are from the 26th Tank Regiment of the 47th Guards Tank Division. They address their appeal to Putin and the military prosecutor's office.
