I was browsing the internet and I found this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WO0zSStdj8
Apparently, it’s a squad of Russian Soldiers refusing to go back to the front line. The fat guy says they were NOT getting food or water (yeah I heard it), I am pretty sure he is right. So, what are the types of conditions you have to face to get water and food at soldiers? I mean, I can understand them not getting ammo and man power to get rid of the dead. Probably manufacturing problems and it’s dangerous respectively. But yeah, what else? Why would they not get food and water?
I have no real idea, only suppositions :
(I’m not treating Ukraine as the enemy, this is a full supposition).
The real hard part is costs and time. If the soldiers pushed the front lines, and there is no risk of enemy attacks behind the line, there can be multiple things in the way :
The terrain may not always be good for fast travel. With difficult terrains or mud and water.
And because front lines aren’t perfect, there is always the risk of enemy attack behind, destroying supplies.
Now why exactly Russia did not send supplies to their soldiers, no real idea. They only know what they chose to do.
Ukraine is huge, giant. Going up to the front lines takes time and money. And well I very much guess that Russia just sent soldiers without care, maybe even now they doing that. They underestimated Ukrakne’s defenses and the support they get from other countries.
