Growing numbers of Russian troops are rejecting orders from their superiors as Moscow's forces suffer huge losses in offensives in Ukraine, according to independent Russian news sources.
Russian-language Telegram channel Astra said that every day it gets messages from the families of soldiers who have been detained in occupied regions of Ukraine, as anecdotes abound of a lack of artillery, food, water and poor command.
Reports of growing dissent and localized insubordination, sporadic as they have been so far, are likely to irk the Kremlin, which just months ago was targeted in a full-blown mutiny. It was led by the late Wagner Group chief Yevgeny Prigozhin, who masterminded the mercenaries' "March on Moscow".
While the mutiny petered out as quickly as it began, Prigozhin himself was killed in an airplane crash and his troops jailed, sent home or absorbed into the Russian military, fears of a repeat have lingered.
This month, Russia launched an offensive around Avdiivka, the gateway to the city of Donetsk, which has been occupied by Russia and its proxy forces since 2014.
Russian forces have reportedly suffered large losses of troops and equipment during heavy fighting around this part of the front and in neighboring Kupiansk, leading to small-scale revolts and disobedience among Russian troops, the channel said.

All the news brought to you by the CIA fit to print!
Turn their guns on the squinty eyed mongoliod in the Kremlin would be good for Russia and anywhere else the Russian thugs want to devour. Maybe they can redeem some honour in doing so
LOLOL!!
I'm going to be glad when all this spew collapses inward like a black hole.
Meanwhile in Ukraine...

Pure propaganda. It bears no resemblance to reality.
This has all the hallmarks of Russian propaganda....
The Russians always fight with low morale and crappy logistics. But somehow they endure.
“All the news brought to you by the CIA fit to print!”
Good.
We are in the USA aren’t we?
Prigozhin should have finished his March on Moscow even if his chances were slim to none. He might have done things differently if he gained control of Washington.
I mean Moscow- although these days there’s no difference.
Did Newsweak get two verified sources for this story? If not, they shouldn’t have published it, since that is the excuse they used for spiking Mike Isikoff’s 1998 breaking story on the Clinton/Lewinsky affair.
Seems to always be propaganda when it goes against Russia. But always 100 percent true when things go bad for Ukraine.
For all I know, this is propaganda too.
>>>This has all the hallmarks of Russian propaganda....
Hillary Clinton’s. RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA?
Moscow at the Potomac.
Yes, it could be.
I think the artillery imbalance is fairly well-documented, else I wouldn't bring it up.
I would be interested to know about the state of the Russian tubes - those things have a lifespan.
It may be that their experience in the Great Patriotic War is serving them well in the present day.
But that experience would also extend to the AFU...
