The past week saw more of the same - dribble from Zelensky about peace through war, western media slop about peace plans, Russian military advances, and mobilization/desertion scandals domestically.

Today, something more easily analyzable than the peripeteia of US politics and Zelenesky’s wise, secret plans: war. I’ve gathered together a range of Ukrainian military telegrams, and mined them for interesting takes.

Today's topics covered by our stalwart militarists include:

  • Organizational issues in the AFU, rotations and lack thereof (compared to Russia’s well-oiled rotation system), declining officer quality and quantity, hastily formed units, and Russian and Ukrainian salaries

  • Tactics - the problem of encirclement faced by both Ukrainian and Russian forces, the importance of mining and Russian superiority in this field

  • The current state of the desertion crisis
