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.

Russians have learned to jam HIMARS missiles with the help of EW - ReznikovRussia has learned how to jam high-precision missiles for HIMARS with the help of EW.
Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov told the Financial Times about this, Ukrainian News Agency reports.
GPS-guided munitions for artillery, as well as multiple-launch rocket systems such as HIMARS, were highly accurate, he said, but the occupiers' powerful radio-electronic systems were finding ways to jam them.

US Precision-Guided Missiles “FLOP” In Ukraine; Kyiv Admits Russia’s Electronic Warfare Systems Taking A TollBy Sakshi Tiwari
July 6, 2023In a recent interview with Financial Times, Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov admitted that Russian electronic warfare (EW) systems can suppress GPS-guided munitions and HIMARS MLRS.

Galicia is somewhere in Spain, right?
There is an autonomous region of Galicia in the northwest corner of Spain. They differ ethnically from others in Spain and their spoken language (Galician) is a dialect of Portuguese.
A Galician was honored right up there in the Canadian Parliament not long ago. Good posts WP.
Welcome to FR, retread.
Yup
After 18 months you can’t smell badly prepared disinfo? This shovel full really reeks.
Not the Wiki article, the book ‘Inside the Soviet Army’. It’s a real eye opener.
In a few cases, the mutiny has already happened. That’s why the Russian army is using convicts who have nothing to lose and threatens executions of anyone who refuses to fight.

That’s very funny coming from you.
I agree with you completely.
Yes, the Russians are so upset that they continue to make ground in their latest offensive. The Russians are loosing nearly 1 thousand a day or more, yet they are still attacking. That not disorganized mutiny. Sure, the soldiers are wasted badly by Russian leadership, but this article is propaganda.
It’s still a stupid war with stupid prizes. The Middle East is an attempt by Russia and its allies to deflect resources from Ukraine. Russia is expanding its war of aggression, and the CIA that interfered with Ukraine under Obama is getting Newsweek to publish non-sense.
You’re dealing with Putin fanboys.
What the Hell are you talking about? This isn’t 1943. You need to come up with better support than that.
So everyone in Ukraine is a Nazi? This is the intellectual level you’re on.
Oh, so now the Ukrainians are “Hunkys”! Very sophisticated.
When Putin is dead, you can send flowers.
