Russian volunteers refuse to fight after successful Ukrainian offensive

This was stated by the press service of the Pentagon.

The Kremlin is making increasing efforts to find new troops and replenish units in Ukraine, the official says. In particular, they are trying to recruit prisoners into Wagner PMCs.

However, the Russians are acting so badly that news from the Kharkiv region motivated many "volunteers" to refuse to fight, a Pentagon spokesman said.

In general, Russia does not achieve the strategic goal, the official said. The Russian dictator set the task of capturing the entire Donetsk region by September 15, but the Russian army clearly failed.
