Intelligence intercepts order from Russian commander pushing soldiers into assaults

Russian commanders are using force, shouting, and threats to "improve" the morale and psychological state of their subordinates and send them into suicidal assaults.

This is evidenced by a conversation between a Russian unit commander and a subordinate intercepted by specialists from the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Ukrinform reports.

The latest interception records signs of an extremely low morale and psychological condition within Russian units. Invading commanders are using force, shouting, and threats to drive their subordinates into suicidal "meat assaults."

"What do you mean plus-plus? Oh, guys, have you completely lost it? What refusal?! Forward, move forward!" the commander shouts.

He needs to send the men into the attack as quickly as possible, as he must report "upstairs" on the execution of the order.

"Move faster, I have to write a report..." he says.

The Russian leader has nothing left but to pressure his subordinates with open threats and insults.

"Refusers, what are you doing there now! You'll go together with them!" he says.

As previously reported, in another intercepted conversation obtained by Ukrainian intelligence, the commander of Russia's 38th Separate Motor Rifle Brigade of the 35th Army ordered the killing of Ukrainian defenders who might be taken prisoner near Huliaipole in the Zaporizhzhia region.
