"To defeat the enemy you need to kill the enemy. Thanks to the position of not cowards and not sadists who urge not to finish off the enemy we have a significant amount of pro-Ukrainian population in the conquered territory which leaks data which leads to our soldiers dying every minute and for this they are being expelled from the Russian Federation to the territory controlled by the armed forces of Ukraine"
Hello Team!
Jonathan shares some extra bits of information due to a backlog he has accumulated.

Confusion and Chaos in Russian Deployment System
- Russian soldiers are reportedly spending weeks wandering around in search of their units due to organizational chaos behind the front lines
- Some are mistakenly listed as deserters because they haven't reported to units they can't find
- The problems are blamed on general confusion with management, organization and lack of communication between structures
- Ukraine's successful offensives last autumn exacerbated the problem when hastily assembled units fell apart
- Disorganization also hinders the return of soldiers from hospitals after recovering from injuries
- The Russian general staff has ordered military hospitals to prioritize treatment for wounded PMC soldiers over regular troops
Morality and War Crimes in the Russian Army
- A Russian Nazi group leader openly supports executions of prisoners of war, calling anyone opposing it "cowards"
- He believes Russia is showing too much "humility" to pro-Ukraine people in conquered territories who reveal Russian positions
- This mindset demonstrates a lack of morality and adherence to international law regarding treatment of POWs
- An example is given of a Ukrainian family, including two 1-year-old children, killed when Russia dropped two 500kg bombs on their home in March 2022
- This contradicts claims by Colonel Douglas McGregor that Putin has given strict orders to avoid civilian casualties, which is demonstrably untrue
Dissatisfaction and Morale Issues Among Russian Troops
- Mobilized troops from Kaliningrad complain about being treated as "meat" and cannon fodder by DPR/LPR militias
- They threaten mutiny, preferring jail over being sent to sure death in assaults they are not trained for
- One soldier committed suicide in front of the others due to the situation
- The troops demand to serve in territorial defense as intended, not as assault troops
- This highlights serious morale and cohesion issues within the Russian forces
Ukrainian Drone Operators Destroy Russian Tank
- Ukrainian drone operators find an isolated Russian tank and attack it with multiple drone-dropped munitions
- After 4-5 hits, the crew abandons the damaged tank which is then finished off by further drone strikes
- The tank is unlikely to be recovered due to Russia's lack of armoured recovery vehicles
Instability in the Caucasus Region
- The Russian peacekeeping forces normally policing the Caucasus region have been decimated in Ukraine
- If fighting breaks out between Armenia and Azerbaijan or Georgia and Russia, Russia may lack the troops to intervene
- In previous conflicts, Russia needed 75,000-80,000 troops to quell fighting, numbers it would struggle to field now
- There are reports Russian peacekeepers have lost many of their armoured vehicles, forcing them to use unarmoured cars
- China is increasing its influence in the region as Russia's position weakens
