Ukrainian captain killed his commander to prevent his company from going to the battlefieldDozens of incidents of desertion and refusal to carry out orders due to the heavy losses suffered at Bakhmut
In the Ukrainian Army, mass desertion and refusal to carry out orders have begun to appear, with a typical example of the execution of a Ukrainian battalion commander by one of his captains, as the latter refused to send his men against the Russians to one of the Donbas fronts.
More and more Ukrainian soldiers are refusing to fight as they have understood that Kiev during the last months in particular, did not protect them from useless and futile losses in battles that had already been decided.
In particular, the battle of Bakhmut had been decided and essentially lost for two to three months, yet Kiev insisted on maintaining forces inside the city and reinforcing them with new units while knowing that their fate was predetermined.
According to Wagner leader Yevgeny Prigozhin, the Ukrainians lost 50,000 men and had 70,000 wounded. The number is very large and everyone is rightly wondering if it was worth it for Kiev to make such sacrifices of young people.
Wagner's losses according to her commander amounted to 20,000 men. It is no coincidence that Bakhmut was likened to a meat grinder.Source:

Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said the war in Ukraine could last decades, with periods of fighting interrupted by ceasefires, adding that " if the Ukrainians are given nuclear weapons then we will strike first".
"The West fails to realize that the confrontation between Russia and the NATO countries may at some point lead to a preventive nuclear strike ," he said characteristically.“There are certain irreversible rules of war.
If it is nuclear weapons deliveries to Ukraine, a pre-emptive strike should be carried out. The West still fails to grasp this. It will be done, under certain conditions .'Commenting on the expanding list of weapons and military equipment that NATO countries are sending to Ukraine, Medvedev said it is very likely that the Kiev government "will receive warplanes " and " maybe even nuclear weapons" .
To repeat: " But that would mean a nuclear-tipped missile would be flying towards them."
N. Medvedev, who is currently the vice-president of Russia's national security council, made these statements during his visit to Vietnam.
"This conflict will last a very long time, probably decades," N. Medvedev said, according to RIA . "As long as there is such a government there, we will have (...) three years of truce, two years of war and again from the beginning" .
He even added that "There is no doubt that Ukraine has no future in its current form. It is necessary to destroy the essence and nature of the Nazi government of Kiev."
N. Medvedev essentially revealed that there can be no peace as long as Ukraine has the same governmental orientation.
This means that the Russians will not be limited to only 20% of the territories they have brought under their control (along with Crimea).Their main goal is that all regions with a strong Russian-speaking element and then the rest of Ukraine be a neutral zone between Russia and NATO.
#Medvedev :
There is no doubt that Ukraine has no future in its current form. It is necessary to destroy the very nature of the Nazi government in Kiev. Otherwise the conflict could drag on perpetually, with three years of truce, two years of conflict, rinse and repeat.
