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.

Ukraine confirms: Russian EWs jam US GPS munition, HIMARS, JDAMsBy Boyko Nikolov
On Jul 6, 2023As the Ukraine conflict unfolds, there’s a growing concern among military analysts and experts. The US-made guided weapons supplied to Kyiv are reportedly losing their effectiveness due to Russian electronic jamming, causing a significant shift in battlefield dynamics.
The Ukrainian Armed Forces, which initiated a highly anticipated counteroffensive last month, confirmed these concerns. The once formidable US munitions are falling short in their precision.
In a revealing interview with Financial Times, Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov conceded that Russian electronic warfare [EW] systems have managed to dampen the accuracy of GPS-guided munitions and HIMARS MLRS. Despite the inherent precision of these munitions, Russian radio-electronic systems have ingeniously found ways to jam them.

There's also a significant shift in the adult diaper dynamics of supporters of the Azov Nazis in The Ukraine, like the canuck_conservative, SS Galician Division fanboi.
