Atesh: Russian soldiers’ morale crumbles in Ukraine’s Kherson Oblast
Panic and despair are spreading among Russian troops in Ukraine's frontline Kherson Oblast amid numerous failed attempts to gain a foothold on the Dnipro islands and heavy losses, the Ukrainian and Crimean Tatar resistance movement Atesh reported on Telegram on April 4.
The Russian 80th Separate Motorized Rifle Arctic Brigade's commanders are giving ridiculous orders in an attempt to gain a foothold, regardless of the cost in human lives.
"The latest attacks have failed again. According to our men from the 3rd Battalion of the 80th Brigade, the losses during the recent attacks in the area of the Golubiv Lyman Island amounted to 26 - "200" (irrecoverable losses - ed.) and more than 20 - "300" (wounded - ed.)," Atesh said.
"Untrained personnel are sent to the attacks, deprived of the necessary training and support, the dead are not taken out, the wounded are not provided with timely assistance, which increases panic among the soldiers, morale is rapidly falling, which directly affects the ability of units to perform combat missions."
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
