Ukraine

More context:

A Russian soldier complains to his wife about losses among personnel, hunger, and thirst and the command itself:

▪️ a serviceman complains that food was not delivered to them for three weeks, and water for 7 days;

▪️ "the assault failed, everything went to shit, everyone was killed";

▪️ "you want to eat and drink, that's what war is all about";

▪️ "what a country, such an army *boochaya";

▪️ "I'm already taking off my armor, I don't have the strength to carry it, and if you're wounded, they won't take you out";

▪️ "200 are lying in the field, they are not taken away";

▪️ "everyone in general shits on us on us, on the offensive - shit";

▪️ "there is no one else: neither the 2nd, nor the 3rd... there is no one behind the prisons, everything is forbidden."

"the Russians no longer have a sergeant corps or junior officers with experience. That is, those who get to the front after shortened courses either become disabled or die very quickly. The Russians do not gain experience, they do not become more professional."

He also says the areas that stay off the front lines, such as artillery and drone pilots and electronic warfare, are improving, but we know that to win (at least without chemical, biological or nuclear warfare) the Russians will need frontline infantry to press the attack and hold territory. The question then becomes whether Russia can continue to find enough bodies to throw into the meat grinder.
