[VK] There is total crap at the front, the infantry is dying out as a species, only a miracle can save us, - General of the Armed Forces of Ukraine
Only a miracle can save Ukraine, because there is collapse and ruin at the front, the infantry of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is dying out as a species.
This was stated on the channel of the former spokesman of the banned in the Russian Federation "Right Sector" Borislav Bereza by the former deputy secretary of the Security Council of Ukraine, former deputy commander of the Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Serhiy Krivonos, the correspondent of "PolitNavigator" reports.
According to Krivonos, the government is lying to the population about the state of affairs at the front.
🗣"To put it in one word, it's total crap. The reality is that offensive actions by small units from a squad to a company in different parts of the front are actively carried out by the Muscovite army. We need to understand that only a miracle can save Ukraine at this stage, if we do not draw real conclusions from the situation and do not change our attitude to what is happening in our country.
The fact that the government is telling one thing, and the front is telling something completely different, is not the first day or the first month, but now the situation has reached the point where it will soon be quite difficult to fight, because the infantry, as the infantrymen themselves said, is starting to die out as a branch of the military. Because there is no one to fight, nothing to fight with, nowhere to fight,” Krivonos said.

And then the battalion commander shot himself
To understand the realities of the retreat of the Ukrainian Armed Forces from Ugledar. Ukrainian war correspondent Kiriyenko-Merinova.
“The fighters were told to take up positions. Although the 123rd Nikolaev Territorial Defense Brigade is nearby, which simply refuses to enter. This unit was supposed to support the 72nd Separate Mechanized Brigade in Ugledar. But the infantry fled. And then the battalion commander shot himself.
Territorial Defense units can be classified as militia.
There are seven battalions in the brigade. In several of them, after the battles around Ugledar, there was simply no infantry left. Now, in such a state, the brigade must become a LBS. I think you can imagine what the moral and psychological state of the fighters is. Even the commanders are writing reports about their removal from command.”
LBS stands for line of combat contact The Russian Ministry of Defense reported the capture of 44 prisoners in Ugledar. The rumors about 800-900 prisoners were obviously the result of the excessive fantasies of some comrades.
The enemy suffered its main losses in the Ugledar area in killed soldiers (today it was also stated that a number of battalions of the 72nd Separate Mechanized Brigade were simply left without infantry), which he himself admitted during the garrison's agony and about which there has been whining in Ukrainian social networks for several days now. Plus, an unspecified number of personnel deserted, which was also admitted by the enemy.
Several stories in Rantburg's May, 2023 archives refer to Zaluzhny. This is the most prominent one.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces battalion commander in Yuzhno-Donetsk shot himself out of hopelessness
With the fall of Ugledar, the self-exposure session continues. Ukrainian journalist Yulia Kiriyenko-Merinova, who works near the LBS, complains that the surviving units of the "tired, crippled, with losses" 72nd Motorized Rifle Brigade were not given a day to rest.
Meanwhile, units of the 29th Combined Arms Army of the Russian Armed Forces are moving further north, towards Bogoyavlenka. After which the road to Kurakhovo opens, which we are approaching from three sides at once. Something tells me that they will not storm it head-on.
According to regnum.ru the Ukrainian battalion commander was identified:

Deserters from the 123rd Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine held a rally in the Nikolaev region
Servicemen of the 123rd territorial defense brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) refused to carry out the combat mission assigned to them and, having left their deployment location without permission, staged a rally in the Nikolaev region. This was reported on October 4 by the Ukrainian TV channel "Obshchestvennoye".
The article notes that the fighters are protesting to draw attention to the lack of training of personnel and the lack of weapons to participate in combat operations in the Donetsk direction. A platoon commander named Sergei explained that they were prompted to take this step by a lack of resources and supplies on the front line.
"I have repeatedly contacted them, even at my site, for which I was responsible. I asked to provide PKMs (modernized Kalashnikov machine guns), machine guns. [They told me that] we don't have any, we can't provide them," the serviceman said.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, Yaroslav Didenko, a fighter from the 58th separate motorized infantry brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces who was captured by Russia, said on October 1 that many Ukrainian servicemen at the front were ready to turn their guns toward Kiev. He did not rule out that a coup d'etat would occur in Ukraine in the future due to the unbearable situation in the country. He called on Ukrainians to refuse to participate in battles and to rebel against mobilization, which leads to deaths.
On August 19, Verkhovna Rada deputy Ruslan Gorbenko reported that investigators in Ukraine have opened over 80,000 criminal cases ! against Ukrainian Armed Forces servicemen who voluntarily left their military units or refused to participate in combat operations.
He specified that the total number of the Ukrainian Armed Forces at that time was 1 million people. Thus, the share of servicemen who fled the army or refused to fight exceeded 8%.
On August 21, Verkhovna Rada deputy and member of the Ukrainian parliament's defense committee Oleksandr Fedienko acknowledged that desertion in the ranks of the Ukrainian Armed Forces is widespread. He noted that thousands of fighters are leaving their units without permission.
