Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin

[ColonelCassad] Next whiners. This time from the 4th, 5th and 6th companies of one of the rifle battalions of the 93rd brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
It was in Soledar, they complain that:

1. There are no heavy weapons, only small arms.2. They are constantly attacked by Russian artillery, aviation and tanks.

3. No artillery support. Moreover, their positions were covered by their own Ukrainian Grads.

4. A large number of killed "brothers" remain in positions, whom no one takes away.

5. The wounded are not evacuated either, only those who could walk 2 kilometers to the evacuation point are taken away.

6. The superior commander threatens with executions and declares that this cannon fodder will leave Soledar only after being killed or wounded.

7. Previously, these units already had heavy losses in another unnamed area.

#1  If Soledar is the front line, Russia has made less progress than I thought. This police action is looking either mismanaged or unsuccessful.
