HEAD OF PERSONNEL OF THE AFU IN KHERSON CALLS ON UKRAINIAN TROOPS TO SURRENDER AFTER DEFECTING
After the commander of the Kherson defense brigade and the head of the personnel department went over to the side of Russia, the former militants of this formation voluntarily surrender in droves.
The Head of Personnel of the Ukrainian Army in Kherson calls on Ukrainian troops to surrender after defecting to the Russian side:
Valentin Bondarenko resigned as head of the personnel department of the 124 Territorial Defense Brigade in Kherson. He asked for the surrender of his former comrades and to recover their old lives and occupations, because he sees no sense in resistance and only sees a future within the Russian Federation for Kherson.

HARSH FRONTLINE FOOTAGE - LPR RESERVIST DIDN'T MAKE IT AS CHECHENS DRAG HIM OUT OF COMBAT
Tensions simmer between low-trained LPR reservists and Chechens on the front line. One guy could not be saved in time.
"Taken yesterday or even today, Lisichansk direction, real battle scenes. Judging by the video, our airborne forces are operating there - Chechens and reservists drive a lot on equipment. The latter are the most inexperienced and often get lost in battle. Talib fighters (Timur Ibriev), Chechens, rescue an early reservist (or one of the Cossacks).
The confused reservist says that our wounded are in the landing and Ukrops is also there. The Chechen swears at him and the two go to pull out the wounded man. They pull him out-he is still walking, then falls, lies for a couple of minutes and the doctors who have come state death. Dragged to the rear.
The video is shot by Gennady Dubovoy. Recently, he was in Grozny for retraining, and now again on the front line. His video is completely uncensored, for example, his chronicle of the battles for Mariupol-has gained hundreds of thousands of views:
"FORBIDDEN chronicle of the storming of Mariupol. The tiniest thing that no one will tell you about" (10 videos, 2022)."

The data announced by Zelensky about the death of 60-100 Ukrainian soldiers per day are very underestimated
This was obvious on the day he announced it. Losses are anywhere from 300 to a 1000 a day. Very tragically, the worst thing about it is that West doesn't allow Ukrainians to negotiate a ceasefire. Zelensky wanted a truce couple months ago but Boris Johnson flew into Kiev and ordered him not to.
