Shitty situation for those boys. I wish them well.This time, the platoon of the 3rd battalion of the 115th Brigade of the AFU refused to defend Severodonetsk, recording an appeal to Zelensky and the commander-in-chief of the AFU Zaluzhny :
TRANSLATION BELOW 1/3
"We refuse to carry out combat missions because we do not have reinforcements from behind. No heavy machinery. We have been waiting for reinforcements for 2 weeks, but there is no one. 2/3
We are being sent to certain death. There is no command. There is no technique and respect for people. ... in such conditions, we refuse to perform combat missions!" 3/3
This is what I was talking about when I said Ukraine is in the defense, but has a longer supply tail than the aggressors. Ukraines logistics originates in the Pentagon and stretches across Western Europe before it gets to the front lines. With almost all of Ukraines original equipment destroyed, Ukrainian troops have to go to Western Europe to train in safety on newly donated equipment, that takes time, weeks at a minimum.
I don't know how well Russia can capitalize on that, some for sure, but everything they have been doing in this war is very slow by modern Western standards.
