#4 Russia Independent Media = ASTRA Network categorically condemns the actions of the Russian military forces in Ukraine.

When they say suicidal attacks, author does not mean suicide bombing or suicide mission. The author means that soldiers disobeyed orders b/c the soldiers thought deployment to the front would result in death.

Refusing orders, what is that called in the military?

#5 Insubordination if the army you are in is winning. Every man for himself if they are not.
