Ukraine's Armed Forces seize the initiative: Russians massively refuse to fight in the Luhansk region

Military defeats and massive losses faced by the occupiers in the Lugansk region demotivate soldiers of the Russian Federation's armed forces. The occupiers refuse to return to the war in Ukraine, considering massive losses in the Russian army. To compensate for a lack of personnel, the Kremlin is forcibly mobilizing residents of the temporarily occupied territories.

The number of casualties among occupying forces personnel has surpassed 22,000 people. The Russians faced fierce opposition not only from the Ukrainian Armed Forces but also from the civilian population, which is fighting a guerrilla war against the invaders.

It is about informing Ukraine's Armed Forces and cutting off the supply routes of the occupying country's military units. The occupiers' morale is also lowered by the realization that they are being led to their deaths.

A video of an interrogation of a Russian occupier apprehended near Rubizhne surfaced in the media. During interrogation, the prisoner stated that he had been fighting in Rubizhne for about ten days. According to the invader, the fighting spirit is terrible; people do not want to serve and want to return home, but the leadership would not allow it.

"They don't even let us call, the food is terrible, we live in basements, there are no conditions, no provision." You put on whatever your family gave you from home. You don't even have panties or socks... There are many (killed invaders. - ed.) "Half of the 250 people were immediately wiped out. Our battalion in Rubizhne now has up to 100 people, including reservists. There are Kadyrovites. If they are attacked, they immediately run away," he says

According to various reports, the Russian army is attempting to complete its objectives in Ukraine by specific dates. They designated May 9 as a holy day for the occupying country in particular. Putin also employs Second World War tactics. He disregards the losses of personnel from his country's armed forces.

No one will count the losses if the racists are given the task of reaching the administrative borders of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions by May 9. Recent events in my home region of Luhansk have clearly demonstrated this.

On April 26, 200 invaders and nearly three dozen armored vehicles were destroyed in the region. Despite a large number of occupying troops, Ukrainian soldiers retain a firm hold on the line. Furthermore, in some areas, particularly in the Zaporizhzhia region, they go on the counterattack.

Let me remind you that in the Kherson region, the Ukrainian troops also liberated another 5 settlements from the occupiers.

We're talking about seizing the initiative from the aggressor country. Furthermore, the Russians understand that supplying modern equipment to Ukraine's Armed Forces reduces their chances of returning home alive.

For example, the Soviet self-propelled gun "Hyacinth" can hit targets up to 36 kilometers away. The latest self-propelled gun deliveries from the West's leading countries (the Netherlands, France, and the United States) have a range of destruction with high-precision ammunition of up to 60 kilometers. 

This allows the Armed Forces of Ukraine to level the terrain in the rear of the Russian occupiers.

According to the General Staff of Ukraine's Armed Forces, as of April 28, the occupying forces have lost almost 23,000 troops and nearly a thousand tanks since the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine.
