Eight months in the trenches: Russian troops will leave the front line due to the decline of the moral spirit - the officer

This opinion was expressed by the former Colonel of the Soviet Army and the commander of the 58th Brigade in Afghanistan Sergey Gulyaev in an interview with Express. The former warlord said he regularly communicates with officers and soldiers who are fighting in Ukraine on the side of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.

Based on the fact that Gulyaev has to be heard, we can say that the moral spirit among the advanced troops falls, they are poorly equipped and remain without help in the trenches. The Russian military feels that they had thrown their bosses for the same, forcing them to produce and buy military materials on their own. In addition, they have to spend eight months in the trenches unchanged, as vacation is canceled due to lack of reserves.

"Soldiers have to buy equipment for their salaries, such as bulletproof vests, since there are no military goods. When you shoot day and night and the only thing you can do is dig a trench and sit there for months without tanks, APRs and any vehicles , - all this has a true demoralizing effect, "Gulyaev said.

The colonel also reported that Russian troops are experiencing a sharp shortage of car equipment - recently, soldiers from the front were asked to assist with the purchase of jeeps in the unit, since there were virtually no vehicles for the evacuation of the wounded. The absence of a car also leads to the fact that all equipment and supplies to the Russians have to deliver to the advanced manually.

According to Gulyaev, the angry and fall of the moral spirit of the Russian soldiers have already led to sabotage acts, when the military units refuse to attack. At the same time, during the Wagner's rebellion, many officers and soldiers stood on the side of Yevgeny Prigogine. "There were sympathies to Prigogine. I talked to a person who was close to the" Wagner " - they had neither shells, nor ammunition nor supply.

Gerasimov and Shogu deliberately blocked supplies, so the rebellion of Wagner PEC was the first bell. I I think that soon officers, battalions and regiments will also leave the front, " - summed up the Soviet colonel. Earlier it was reported that according to American General Mark Millie, the Armed Forces seemed to have a breakthrough through the first line of defense of the Russian military in the south, in particular in the Zaporozhye region.
