"Andrii Hrebeniuk, the sergeant major of an infantry battalion, fighting in the Donetsk oblast town of Velyka Novosilka, said soldiers went awol 'pretty frequently'. 'Some return. Some don’t,' he said. 'It’s about morale more than injury. They need a psychological reset. They go and see their families and reappear after a couple of months.' Did he understand them? 'I don’t sympathise and I don’t condemn,' he replied.

Hrebeniuk’s mechanised brigade, the 110th, last week took the unusual step of saying it was critically short of personnel. It had enough drones and artillery, but no infantry, at a time of constant Russian attacks. 'We need to break the stereotype that if you join up you will be dead in five minutes,' Hrebeniuk said. He added: 'Simple things keep you alive, like digging in, cleaning your weapons, and paying attention during first aid training.'

RT @ChrisO_wiki: 1/ Russian warbloggers say that Russian soldiers are taking huge casualties trying to capture the strategically unimportant Ukrainian village of Novoiehorivka, because commanders have prematurely and falsely claimed that they have already captured it. ⬇️
