Valdimir Putin faces army revolt as 'commanders refuse to send troops' to storm key river

Russian commanders are reportedly refusing to send their troops to join a planned offensive to storm the Dnipro river.

Putin's army is building up its forces on the left bank of the Dnipro river, as it prepares to force a crossing.

Intelligence reports suggest 2,000 assault troops have been assembled in the Kherson region, along with some 300 speedboats.

However, many senior officers believe the planned assault to be a suicidal mission and are reluctant to commit their troops and equipment to the fight, according to the ATESH partisan group.

In a post to their Telegram channel, they wrote: "Russian military commanders refuse to send their subordinates to assaults in the Kherson region.

"ATESH agents report growing tension in Russian units located in the occupied territory of the Kherson region.

"The situation is becoming increasingly alarming: military personnel note intensified preparations for the offensive.

"Commanders are constantly called to urgent meetings, after which they return late at night - pale and clearly alarmed.

"This increases nervousness in units where no one really understands what is happening.

"Meanwhile, the command continues to set suicidal goals, further undermining the morale of the personnel."

The partisans noted that Russian units in Crimea were destroying their boats in a desperate bid not to be sent to Kherson to join the assault.

Are you employed by the British tabloids? You post their inane propaganda multiple times a day like a demented communist party hack.

OK, the premise is the attack never occurs. Then that lack of action is declared a turning point in Russian internal politics.

Either way it’s a great victory for Ukraine.

The Russians attempted a Dnipro crossing to the Antonivskyi Bridge area two days ago under cover of a mass MLRS attack on Kherson and Ukraine sunk the Russian attack boats before they even made it halfway across the river.

The Beatles did a song about this called “Paperback Writer”...

“His son is working for the Daily Mail it’s a steady job but he wants to be a paperback writer..”

At this point, it is clear that both sides are losing. IT doesn’t matter what the outcome is. Our Civil war should never have happened. It was over an issue that was was really stupid.

However, this war is 100 times worse. It should never have happened.

In the end, Russia will have, either though peace settlements or a democratic vote by the people, Crimea and the Eastern Ukraine provinces that were mainly Russian speaking, which was the proposal advanced to both sides before the onset of hostilities.

The more modern drone technology dominates the tactical situation, the more it resembles the futility of World War I.

“Valdimir Putin faces army revolt as ‘commanders refuse to send troops’ to storm key river”

The last time your side was talking about an ‘insurrection’ against Putin, it was Prigozhin (Wagner) and his ‘insurrection’ in 2023 made the Jan 6th protesters look like an organized army.

Putin ordered his generals to cross the Dnipro and capture Kherson by January 20th and it’s not going to happen.

Are you a mind reader or something?
