Russia's Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, who directs the military invasion of Ukraine, inspected frontline troops and instructed them to preferentially attack Ukrainian missiles and the like.
It seems that the aim is to diminish the attack capability of the Ukrainian army, which continues to resist with weapons provided by the West.
On the 18th, the Russian Defense Ministry announced that Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu had inspected frontline troops fighting in Ukraine and received reports of the war situation from the commander.
Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu insisted that "the enemy is using long-range missiles and cannons to attack residential areas and wheat fields in the eastern Donbus region," and instructed the Ukrainian side to preferentially attack these weapons. It means that it was done.
The Ukrainian army has continued a thorough fight in the eastern and southern parts with the military support of Europe and the United States, including the high-mobility rocket artillery system = Heimers from the United States, and Defense Minister Shoig's remarks are wary of Ukrainian attacks and their capabilities It seems that there is an aim to dispel.
Under these circumstances, the British Ministry of Defense said on the 18th that Russia has put the troops of the private military company "Wagner" on the front line to make up for the shortage of Russian troops, especially in the recent battle in eastern Luhansk Oblast. Has played a central role.
On the other hand,
▽ seeing the top of "Wagner" as a hero may lead to a decrease in the morale of Russian regular army soldiers.
▽ "Wagner" is trained enough by hiring prison inmates. It is also analyzed that it is likely to affect Russian operations because it has not.
