100 Russian Soldiers are Convicted Per Week for Refusing to Fight in Ukraine as Morale plumpets
RUSSIA According to data released by independent Russian news outlet Mediazona, Two Russian soldiers were sentenced to serve two years in a penal colony last week because they did not want to return to the frontline.
There is also a dramatic increase in cases of Russian military personnel going AWOL (absent without official leave) since March 2023. The report, however, did not specify the current rate.
If the trend continues, the UK defense ministry estimates that there will be approximately 5,200 convictions a year for Russian soldiers who dodge Ukraine duties.
Possible Reasons
Russian soldiers’ refusal to fight in Ukraine is attributed to the increasing casualty rate in the ongoing war.
Since the invasion started, more than 200,000 Russians with over 300,000 others injured, Moscow has already in Ukraine,
Russia has largely failed in its conflict which was supposed to last for 3 days. The US and European countries have supplied weapons to Kyiv to kick out the terrorists with the latest weapon being the cluster bomb shells which the Ukranian forces are effectively using against the enemy. Ukraine is currently awaiting the ultimate firepower -The F16 TO FINISH THE JOB.
