Russian soldiers are talking among themselves and are self-evaluating the quality of their medical care and chances at the front of being evacuated, an indication of morale and conditions.

They are probably also hearing of severely wounded and disabled veterans getting treated as scum by civilians, and denied benefits by the government.
