This and the couple of post from @bolverk above are the sort of things that causes bigger issues than most will recognize. I'm curious about the view numbers on those, but if they are going even minor viral, it's a bigger issue than Russia will ever admit. Part of war propaganda is now absolutely in the hands of influencers, for better or worse. For better, in this case for the record.

I've been hopeful in the past that something would get through to the Russian public. At some point, there will be that final straw, but I'm done with even trying to speculate nowadays.

"Atesh agents within the 247th Air Assault Regiment, stationed in the occupied territory of the Zaporizhzhia region, report widespread unauthorized abandonment of positions (AWOL). This is particularly affecting one of the air assault battalions," the statement reads.

The reasons for desertion are described as obvious — forcibly mobilized Ukrainians from Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, and Crimea do not want to fight against their own country. Lawlessness, incompetent leadership, refusal to register official reports, intimidation, and constant frontline casualties only strengthen their desire to flee.

Partisans note that soldiers are often listed as deserters even after being wounded, as they are "lost" in the paperwork following transfer to a hospital. Medical personnel typically do not specify the soldier's location, and officers attribute their absence to desertion.

As previously reported, nearly 50,000 armed Russian deserters are significantly worsening the criminal situation in the temporarily occupied Ukrainian territories.

Almost 50,000 armed Russian deserters are rapidly worsening the criminal situation in the temporarily occupied Ukrainian lands.

According to Ukrinform, this was reported in Telegram by the Center for National Resistance.

"Due to the mass desertion of militants of the so-called "svo" security situation at the TOT of Ukraine is rapidly deteriorating. According to the Center for National Resistance, more than 49 000 Russian servicemen have left their seats in service since the beginning of the full-scale invasion. And this is the equivalent of several full-fledged divisions," the message reads.

It is noted that most of these criminals do not return to the Russian Federation, but hide on the TOT and become a real threat to the local population. Robbery, beatings, rape and murder, which the occupiers are trying to hide or attribute to civilians, have become commonplace.

The invaders bring rescuers from Russia to the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine

"International human rights organizations should pay attention to the complete degradation of security on the TOT of Ukraine," the Center for National Resistance calls.

As Ukrinform reported, the Russians have developed a plan for the resettlement of "SVO veterans" to the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine.

Sadly not a suprise. Worse based on what I am being made aware of crossed with my admittedly limited knowledge of criminal oligarchs, females will end up in sex trade, males "former" soldiers potentially becoming a criminal issue for Ukrainian people.

Be curious if this is a trend of using women in combat.  NSFW

 

If they're sending women, what does that say about Russian "traditional values?"  

Lives of the youth - no matter which gender - are equally worthless.

50K armed deserters.    wowza

That is like Newt Knight and his crew on steroids and vodka.  

50k is equal to the number of all US military deserts during World War II in Europe.  But we had almost 2,000,000 servicemen in Europe at the time, and the geographic reach of where all the troops were stationed is vastly greater than the small amount of territory in an occupied Ukrainian area.

I assume the 50k is a little inflated, but really any number above a 5k is bad news for them.

it be nice if there was a way to weaponize them and send them to go after Putin. But, for whatever reason, they prefer to stay in the Ukraine and steal and rape there. The deserters, it seems, are as worthless as the non-deserters.
