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.
