Cooks and drivers sent to fight as Russian infantry runs out - Ukraine’s Intelligence

Russian troops are suffering enormous losses because of the professional actions of Ukraine’s Defense Forces and their own incompetence. The Kremlin’s mobilization campaign is not delivering the expected results, forcing commanders to throw everyone they can into the assaults.

Wounded soldiers, the seriously ill, cooks, drivers, signal operators, and drone operators are being sent to the front line. Russian servicemen themselves report a complete loss of combat capability.

“I can’t move. My knees are destroyed, I can’t even step on them,” complained one of the stormtroopers.

Meanwhile, commanders continue to show disregard for their own men.

“Are you suggesting the company commander bring you a wheel and roll you himself? Am I understanding you correctly?” one commander asked a wounded soldier.

Russians admit they are critically short of manpower. Everyone who was previously not involved in combat is now being sent into assaults.

“There are no people left, f***, everyone’s gone. Now even cooks are going into battle because you can’t win, f***. They brought in cooks, all the signal operators they’re already killed,” shared the Russian soldier.

As previously reported, in the past 24 hours, Russian forces lost 890 military personnel.

Ukrainian defenders also destroyed an enemy tank, two armored fighting vehicles, 40 artillery systems, two MLRS, 273 operational-tactical drones, and 64 military vehicles and fuel tanks.

Earlier, in the Dobropillia direction, Ukrainian defenders captured a group of Russian troops. Over the past month alone, 69 enemy soldiers were taken prisoner in this direction.
