Part 6/8:
The treatment and neglect of Russian soldiers have led to a steep decline in morale, heightening dissatisfaction within the ranks. In response to these issues, commanders have resorted to extreme measures, resorting to tying soldiers together with handcuffs to prevent them from abandoning their posts during transport to the front lines. The cruelty of such tactics, coupled with Ukrainian targeting of logistical transportation, puts the lives of these soldiers at further risk.
As mismanagement continues to plague Russian operations, the prospect of massive desertions looms large. Ineffective assaults and the lack of support for injured soldiers threaten not only the immediate combat capabilities of Russian forces but also their long-term viability in the region.
