1/ Russian soldiers are being reportedly "demilitarised" by their own brutal and corrupt commanders, who extort money from men they call their "slaves" and "disposable" before sending them into unsurvivable assaults. ⬇️
2/ The 'All-People's Truth' Telegram channel describes how 'Surgeon', the commander of the Russian 1194th Motorised Rifle Regiment, located near Ozarianivka near Bakhmut, has "established his own rules" that violate army orders and the laws of war. Image
3/ The blogger says that "the volunteers located there are called 'meat', 'slaves', 'disposable'" by their commander. An audio recording corroborates this, with a man describing them as "my slaves... You can beat him, you can tie him up."
4/ According to 'All-People's Truth', Surgeon is "sending them on senseless 'meat assaults' without additional additional reconnaissance, without artillery cover, even without the support of motor transport.
5/ "The wounded and shell-shocked are not taken to the rear, the command does not organize evacuation measures.
6/ "Those who disagree are sent on their 'last journey' into hell itself at the first opportunity, having all their documents, phones and even their soldier's badge taken away.
7/ "And at the same time, there is constant extortion of money, the wounded are required to pay money just to go to the hospital. Those who refuse to pay the wounded are sent again on 'meat assaults'.

Humanitarian aid sent by relatives and volunteers does not reach the soldiers.
8/ "Relatives receive information that their loved ones are considered missing in action, or transferred to another military unit, military unit 44744, which is more like a virtual one.
9/ "It is not possible to find out anything specific from the command of military unit 29593 [the 1194th Regiment].

The situation is critical, if this continues, then why should we fight if such commanders "zero out" our own boys❓"

1/ Russian forces fighting in Ukraine are facing a "catastrophic" shortage of reliable modern armoured vehicles, and instead have to rely on antiquated Soviet "shit that burns and kills our soldiers". ⬇️
2/ The Russian Voenkor Kotenok Telegram channel highlights the problems that Russian troops are having due to their reliance on old Soviet armoured vehicles, which cannot withstand landmines or drones. The blogger blames the greed and inaction of Russian manufacturers.
3/ "We have a huge problem with the delivery of infantry and the movement of infantry in the frontline area and its direct defeats there even by small arms.

1/ Russian warbloggers say that Russian soldiers are taking huge casualties trying to capture the strategically unimportant Ukrainian village of Novoiehorivka, because commanders have prematurely and falsely claimed that they have already captured it. ⬇️ Image
2/ Novoiehorivka in the Luhansk region is a tiny front-line hamlet with a handful of houses strung along a dead-end road. It has no apparent strategic importance. On 20 January, the Russian Ministry of Defence claimed to have 'liberated' it.
3/ This, it turns out, was false. Commanders had ordered their men to film a video report showing the village's capture, presumably so that they could send it to their superiors to keep in good favour. However, it was premature, as the village is still in Ukrainian hands. Image

1/ A Russian medic who has deserted from the Russian army and is seeking asylum in France has given a vivid account of the grim conditions on the Russian front line in Ukraine, the brutality of the Russian commanders, and the threats faced by Russian troops. ⬇️ Alexei Zhilyaev
2/ 40-year-old Alexey Zhilyaev from Murino near St Petersburg deserted from the Russian army in August 2024 after nine months of service as a medic. He fled Russia with the aid of a dissident group and is now in France, where he is seeking political asylum.
3/ Interviewed by Radio Free Europe, Zhilyaev says that he had trained as a medic as a student. He was inspired to join the army by seeing "crowds of people without arms and legs, on crutches and in wheelchairs, getting off the train" in St Petersburg.

1/ Russian escort agencies are seeking women with advanced skills in video games such as Counter-Strike and DOTA, to work as 'gamer girls' for $3,000 a day for members of the Saudi Arabian royal family. Sleeping with the clients is not compulsory. ⬇️ Image
2/ The VChK-OGPU Telegram channel reports that the super-rich now want to spend their leisure time playing video games with "gamer girls", a trend that Russia's 'modeling agencies' are capitalising on.
3/ The channel reports: "In addition to the standard requirements for applicants in the top category of “gamer girls”, they now need to have a “large gaming background”."

1/ Due to the effect of Ukrainian drones' suppression of Russian logistics, Russian soldiers are having to walk up to 35 km (21.7 miles) per day to form up for attacks, evacuate the wounded, reach frontline positions, or go to the rear. ⬇️
2/ The Russian warblogger 'Vault No. 8' writes:

"[A]t this moment, when the enemy has a huge numerical superiority [with drones] in the lower skies, the front line walks long distances every day.
3/ "Evacuation teams can walk 20 kilometres [12.4 mi] every day on the days of our attacks.

Supplies carriers also, about 20-25 km [12.4-15.5 mi] with a heavy load every day.

Infantry when moving to the assault, to the entrenchment and to rest – 10-20 km [6.2-12.4 mi] each.

1/ Russian soldiers are being trained to stand still if they are targeted by a drone, in the hope that the operator will not notice them if they are not moving. This tactic misunderstands how drones are being used and is lethally unsuccessful, as a Russian milblogger explains. ⬇️
2/ Commenting on a Ukrainian video of an FPV drone flying into a stationary Russian soldier's head, the 'Philologist in ambush' describes the tactic of "freezing like a post" as "some monstrous nonsense" imparted during the (brief) training given to newly recruited soldiers.
3/ "Human vision (especially with a weak drone image) is really good at capturing objects in motion, whereas static objects can be missed, and freezing in a well-masked environment (in particular, in untrimmed greenery) can help to some extent. But there are nuances!
