      The moving in small teams have been done by both sides for some time now. Larger formations are a prime target for artillery. Smaller targets reduce casualties and cause the enemy to expel more rounds. I don't know why the ISW finds it so surprising.

      ruZZia sent conscripts to Ukraine from day one.
      Also, most of the frontlines ARE within ruZZia.
      Don't forget.
      Putrid Annexed 4 or 5 Ukrainian Oblasts and Putrid considers these ruZZian territory.
      He also lays claim to all of Ukraine so again. He can justify sending conscripts anywhere in Ukraine in his Mind.

You need to watch Willy OAM, or others channels who are objective and not put under carpet all bad things in Ukrainian army, because one day everything can fell apart like Tower of cards, and all western allies can simple turn they back to Ukraine, what not be first time that USA abandoning someone. People need to have no illusion that USA moves are dictate with they present interest are, today they support Ukraine, tomorrow they interest can change and can abandon Ukraine, and people will simple forget about that, how they forget so many Afghanistan people who was supporter of USA.

      Because fighting for USA interest while make you believe you fight for your country liberty using ultra nationalist scoialist propaganda is so much better. Most of Russians soldiers are volunters or inmates they fight for Crimea and Donbass that are like what is Texas to Americans; actually Donbass and Crimea were already Russian while USA didn't exist and far before Texas became American. There was 8 millions ethnic Russians on 44 millions Ukrainians and it was also a civil war, and everybody kind of forgot it. I know ukrainian woman who live since more ten years in france, she is from Odessa, even if she hates Putin, she told me "Ukrainians and Russians we are the same". And many europeans thinks like this i personally always seen Ukrainians as some kind of Russians, but before this war i never realized their ultra nationalist extrem right problem, iwas thinking it a thing from the past of the WW2 no more alive... Sorry to hurt your feelings but all this si only facts.

      In Moscow you ABSOLUTELY need Shoigu-like persuasiveness & charisma to operate effectively in their corridors of power & I'm not sure that this new guy has adequate rizz.

      If you really believe such stupid numbers that's really you didn't read and seen much about this war. Take a look at mediazona and compare it with CSIS study that gave 65K russian soldiers dead for first year that's 178 KIA a day (thats maybe sound not a lot for you but that's actually a lot). Now look at mediazona and you will see Russian intenisty of losses in KIA more or less the same in average the second year so around 178 KIA a day. CSIS is western strategy and study institute based in california. CSIS for first year was saying 65k and mediazona repeorted 23 140 confirmed deaths, obviously they are more than the confirmed deaths so the reality is somewhere between those. Even in the worse case of CSIS it's 178 KIA a day certainly not 800-1000.

    A macabre observation of Ukraine attack drones is that often when a Russian is severely injured the Ukrainians more often than not finish them off.
    In a strange way this may be the most humane thing to do although that may not be why they do it.
    From a purely practical point of view it would seem that it is a waste of ammunition and that it may be far more beneficial to both tie up the Russians with having to tender to their injured and having injured conscripts return to their communities where their experiences cannot be covered up.
    The Russian state can dress up the return of a dead body, they can make out that the person died honourably and a "hero", they are dead and can't speak. Returning injured conscripts will in many cases be bitter, complain that they were used as cannon fodder, poorly trained and equipped.
    A further observation is how often the Russian conscripts are seen to be isolated, which would seem to suggest that with such a long front and despite the total number of conscripted Russian, the Russian front line forces are stretched.
    And finally it is also an observation how little comradery seems to ever be shown between Russian troops, when so often one is injured, their colleagues leave them to fend for themselves. This would indicate that they are fighting with strangers and there is no "band of brother" mentality, self-survival is paramount.
    While the Ukrainians are fighting for themselves and their land, Russian conscripts are fighting to satisfy Putin's ego. Even if Russia were to win, they would be subject to years and years of conflict trying to subdue a hostile population. It will be no different to the US trying to control Afghanistan where they won the war, but then couldn't control the country.

    The term conscription is also sometimes used to refer to Russians doing their obligatory national service, usually as a break year during their university course (since virtually everyone goes to university). Ostensibly it's reservist training but some have always seen active service during their "year in" and this seems almost required at present. Given that Eastern Ukraine has always been an amalgam of Ukrainians and Russians living happily side by side, this theatre has been a "desertion sponge" since day one. They don't see the enemy as the enemy, don't want to fight anyone anyway and can pass perfectly in a dual language environment. The natural way to do it would be to get creatively lost as your unit retreats and find someone to surrender to.
    They'd have to be processed and vetted of course, but there are quite a lot of Ukrainian civilians up to the job. I doubt many of them are actually trusted to "turn coat" and pick up arms and most would undoubtedly prefer to stay and be put to supervised war effort work. However, undoubtedly some will have returned to Russia, tasked with incommunicado guerilla resistance. It's actually not too hard to move around that part of the world as "just another face in the crowd" if you know how, especially if you have some hard currency.

      No, at best they are fighting for the right to choose their masters. And as it happens in most wars, young and usually poor fight for the interests of old and rich. This goes for both sides. I would love to see a war where those who stand to benefit the most or benefiting from the war itself did the actual fighting.

      Funny I made a comment and *poof* all I stated was Ukraine had a draft dodging issue and that there are plenty of videos, stories and reports of ukranian men complaining about the treatment they receive as fresh conscripts. Willy OAM I believe showed a story of 350 fresh Ukranian conscripts being sent to their death. You can look at Ukranian obituaries stating the deaths of men this year that only got conscripted late last year...
      Yes Russians are treated badly, but russian leadership does not care, so who are we trying to shame by pointing out their losses? They don't care lol
      On the other hand, western nations are relying on the success of the Ukrainians to decide how much and when support will be given. No point in sending money when officers take it for themselves. 🤔🤔

    I always felt that unless Russia scored a quick victory (which hasn’t happened), that Russia could score a drawn out win, but they would still have suffered staggering losses that would decimate the country for decades. And could potentially lead to more parts of Russia successfully seceding.

      Disturbing video has shown apparent desperate military recruiters seemingly snatching men from the street in UKraine to serve the frontline as Russian forces surge forward in Kharkiv.
      A drive to recruit men both in Ukraine - and those who have fled abroad - is seen as critical as Russia today reportedly takes control of Vovchansk, a strategic town in the direction of Vladimir Putin’s major target, Kharkiv city.
      A worried Volodymyr Zelensky has cancelled a trip to Spain and Portugal to remain in his beleaguered war-ravaged country. In some cases women attack the Territorial Recruitment Centre officers who seek to conscript the Ukrainian men.
