Russian leadership deploys disobedient military personnel in "cannon fodder assaults" — General Staff

Due to their lack of success at the front, Russian troops are increasingly disobeying orders or trying to desert. In response, the Russian military leadership uses troops it considers insubordinate in "cannon fodder assaults"

client/title.list_title

This is stated in the morning summary of the General Staff for June 11

The General Staff explains that the increased frequency of non-compliance with orders, sabotage, unauthorized relationships, and desertion among the Russian mobilized is due to several factors. Firstly, there is no specific law regarding the time limits for completing military service after mobilization in the Russian army. Secondly, the lack of significant achievements on the battlefield and the spread of fearful attitudes about future prospects.

Violators are then assigned to "special companies." These units are then used in high-risk assaults where human lives are not spared, so-called "cannon fodder assaults,” in accordance with the orders of the Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Federation.

The Ukrainian Air Force conducted 16 attacks on Russian military positions

They also targeted 2 Russian anti-aircraft missile systems.

The Ukrainian military successfully destroyed 4 different types of enemy reconnaissance UAVs.

Throughout the day, missile forces and artillery units took turns attacking 2 command centers, 5 areas where the enemy's forces were gathered, 1 artillery unit in a firing position, and 4 other significant enemy targets.

Russia attacked Ukraine with 92 airstrikes and launched 45 MLRS attacks

In the past 24 hours, the Russian invaders carried out another air and missile assault on Ukraine. They used 8 missiles, including 4 Iskander land-based cruise missiles, and 35 Iranian strike UAVs of the Shahed type to target military facilities and important infrastructure.

Our air defense forces successfully destroyed 2 cruise missiles and 20 attack UAVs of the Shahed type.

The enemy's primary focus remains on attempting to fully occupy the Luhansk and Donetsk regions, resulting in ongoing heavy fighting. Within the last 24 hours, there were 35 combat clashes in that specific section of the front.

On the northern Ukrainian border with Belarus, the operational situation has not changed.
