Russian occupant from the 1st Separate Motorized Rifle Brigade complains about the lack of supplies in Donbas

A Russian soldier reports a critical food shortage and that commanders ignore the needs of personnel

A Russian serviceman with the call sign "Rubl", part of the 51st Army of the Russian Federation, described logistics problems in the Donetsk region. The occupier complains about the lack of promised parcels and food supplies. This is reported by the portal PromPolitInform, citing information from Defence Intelligence of Ukraine.

Ukrainian military intelligence intercepted a conversation involving a representative of the 1st Separate Motorized Rifle Brigade, who expressed indignation regarding the logistics in his unit. According to the Russian soldier, he and his fellow servicemen have been waiting for supplies for a long time, but their expectations remain unfulfilled.

Critical logistics situation at the front

During the conversation, the occupier noted that the supply promises made by the command are constantly broken. The soldier mentioned psychological fatigue due to the uncertainty of the situation and the lack of basic resources necessary for their stay at the front line.

Ignoring the needs of personnel

The interlocutor responded to the complaints about the lack of aid with excuses, citing adverse weather conditions that allegedly prevent the use of unmanned aerial vehicles. The Defence Intelligence of the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine stated that stable provision of food and uniforms is guaranteed to Russian military personnel only if they voluntarily surrender via the appropriate state communication channels.
