Russian occupying forces deployed helicopters and weapons in search for deserters near the village of Babenivka Druha, in Kherson Oblast, in order to ensure their return to combat positions.
Source: General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine
Quote: "The morale and the psychological condition of [soldiers in] the occupying units [of the Russian Armed Forces] have considerably deteriorated, and instances of desertion have become more common, due to significant losses [sustained by the Russian army] and a lack of willingness to participate in combat.
The enemy was forced to deploy helicopters and weapons in search for deserters and in order to return them to combat positions on the temporarily occupied territory of Kherson Oblast, near the village of Babenivka Druha."
Details: The General Staff also reports that unarmed Russian soldiers are being transported by bus to temporarily occupied Crimea, via Kalanchak checkpoint [in Kherson region].
It takes more courage to retreat than to advance - Josef Stalin
We will see if the old rules still apply
Sounds like another turkey shoot opportunity for the Ukrainians.
The coward Russian Army is more a danger to itself than any Ukrainian. Why did we fear them? By Christmas the war will be over—How much Russian land does Ukraine want from Russia? All of the Black Sea and Billions to build back Ukraine. Russia should be rendered poor and beaten like Germany in World War One—so as to never be a menace again!
The area indicated on the map is pretty much farms with a few villages that look like those you’d find in the middle of Nebraska.

And he also gave orders to back it up.
Stalin issues Order No. 227—outlawing cowards
The order established that each front must create one to three penal battalions (Shtrafbats), which were sent to the most dangerous sections of the front lines. From 1942 to 1945, a total of 422,700 Red Army personnel were sentenced to penal battalions as a result of courts-martial. The order also directed that each army must create “blocking detachments” at the rear that would shoot “panic-mongers and cowards”. In the first three months, blocking detachments shot 1,000 penal troops and sent 24,000 to penal battalions. By October 1942, the idea of regular blocking detachments was quietly dropped.

Probably about the time that fragging was invented.
I had it on the good authority of Zeepers that Ukraine would win 4 months ago...
Also that Putin had weeks to live.
Sounds like the Kremlin is prepping the ground, domestic opinion wise, for something big. My guess: the use of chemical weapons.
It’s truly amazing to see how muchca bunch of keyboard REMFs who never served know about military operations thousands of miles away. Simply staggering the amount of intelligence shown
“military operations thousands of miles away”

Lieutenant General Andrei Sychevoi of Russia captured by Ukraine
Imho it’s not a good idea to parade POWs in front of cameras and broadcast it everywhere.
Hey, who cares about the Geneva Convention on land warfare anyway?

Thank you for devotedly presenting Globalist propaganda. Good work, little WEF serf. You will get an extra crust of moldy bread.
“Thank you”

WOW!
According to Agence France-Presse, a document purportedly from the “Russian Ministry of Finance” shows that Putin’s authorities need to pay a huge pension of about 316.4 billion rubles, which is calculated according to the 7.4 million rubles that each military family will receive, which means that the Russian army lost about 48,000 people on the battlefield in Ukraine. If this figure is true, although it is lower than the “50,000 sacrifices” issued by the Ukrainian military, it is already a very serious challenge for Russia, which has insufficient soldiers.
Although the authenticity of the document cannot be verified at present, and both Russia and Ukraine have different opinions on the number of casualties and refuse to provide true data, it is an indisputable fact that the Russian army suffered so many casualties on the front line that it had to recruit a large number of recruits from the rear. As early as the middle of this year, Putin lifted the age limit for Russian contract soldiers; At the end of last month, Putin again signed an executive order to increase the limit of the Number of Russian troops to 1.15 million, which is also the first time in recent years that the Russian army has increased the total number of troops. However, in the case that the Russian military has been facing “difficulty in recruiting troops”, this series of administrative orders may not necessarily work.
The Russian occupiers are shelling Ukrainian positions with ammunition prohibited by the Geneva Convention. We are at war with fascists who do not know any honor of waging war

If it’s in print, you’ll believe it as if it’s true…
The definition of victory has changed.
