Commentary by Russian military blogger Andrey Chervonets
The Supreme Commander instructed to issue shells, but it has not yet been carried out ...
“We were promised on the 7th that they would give us ammunition, on the 8th at 2 o’clock in the morning a combat order was received in which it was written “to give everything.” Today was the ninth, on the
8th there was a meeting at which they gave 10% of the requested. let's leave Artemovsk, we'll fight for a few more days.
"If all tasks are carried out in order to deceive the Supreme Commander, either the Supreme Commander will tear your ass, or the Russian people."
"This morning the chief of the General Staff personally reduced the amount of ammunition issued to us."
“The shells lie in warehouses, they rest in warehouses. And why are shells in warehouses? they accumulate, accumulate these reserves. Industry plans such shells, and instead of giving them to the troops, they accumulate them in some warehouses. For what - no one knows. And instead of wasting a shell, kill the enemy and save the life of our soldier are killing our soldier."
On the flanks, according to Prigozhin, the troops of the Defense Ministry, which are supposed to cover these flanks, are withdrawing in separate areas, exposing the front. The 72nd Brigade (I quote) "drapanula", "lost @ in" strategically important three square kilometers, for which the Wagenrovites gave 500 lives.
The Gazprom PMC "Blue Torch" does not want to fight and does not come to the position.
P.S.
If Shoigu believes that it is possible to fight and win without shells, then let him prove it by personal example.
