Analysts say that militants who were mobilized in the occupied Luhansk region complained at the exhausting pace of the offensive and refused to participate in the fighting in Donetsk. In his report, ISW mentions a video with the participation of "Battalion Soldiers 2740 LNR", who opposed the storming of the positions of the Ukrainian army and the full seizure of Donbass.
"Fighters claim that they celebrated the victory on July 3, when the LNR forces reached the boundaries of the Luhansk region and that their work is over. The video confirms the tendency of reduction of participation and moral spirit of mobilized" LNR "in support of the Russian war in Ukraine. This trend is especially dangerous For Russian forces seeking to recruit even more new soldiers from the Luhansk region to fill recent losses.
Further division within the Russian forces also threatens to reduce the efficiency of Russian military efforts even more, " - says ISW analysts. In addition, similar panic moods were recorded in the ranks of pro -Russian DNR fighters, which were involved in Kharkiv, Lugansk and Kherson directions. This behavior of mobilized from the occupied territories indicates that collaborators do not support the Kremlin's large -scale plans for Ukraine's occupation.
