Ukrainian soldiers are facing challenges on the battlefield as they continue their incursion into Russia's Kursk region. Reports from commanders and soldiers reveal issues with new recruits, including their reluctance to fire at the enemy, difficulties in assembling weapons, and struggles with basic combat movements. Some recruits have even abandoned their posts, leading to territorial losses along Ukraine's eastern front.
Commanders attribute these setbacks to poorly trained recruits drawn from recent mobilization drives and Russia's superior ammunition and air power. The lack of training among new troops has resulted in ineffective combat actions, with some recruits unable to shoot targets or follow basic battle plans.
