Russian President Vladimir Putin is in a panic because there is a “epidemic of suicides” in his army, writes News.de.< /p>
Secret Russian army documents seized during Ukraine's Kursk offensive make clear how devastating morale is in Putin's troops. More and more Russian soldiers choose suicide over bloody war.
Putin is finding it increasingly difficult to keep his troops morale up for the bloodshed in the war, which began in February 2022. The Russian leader is also aware of the obvious problems of finding new recruits to replace the more than 1,000 Russians killed a day soldiers.
Secret documents show that Putin and military commanders are panicking as more and more of Putin's soldiers fall victim to mental illness and subsequently commit suicide, in alarming numbers rather than isolated cases, express.co .uk.
According to the documents, the question of what is driving Russian soldiers into depression and causing the sharp rise in suicide rates has been investigated internally by the military, and it has been concluded that the Kursk offensive by the Ukrainian armed forces was one factor that put enormous psychological strain on the soldiers of Putin.
The Russian army months before the Ukrainian invasion had intelligence and warned commanders in detail about “ possible breach of the state border“, but the soldiers' warnings went unheeded. Morale in the Russian armed forces is low because the soldiers know they are being thrown into the meat grinder at the front. Putin's propagandists are finding it increasingly difficult to push their lies that “everything is going according to plan" - the three-day special military operation in Ukraine will turn into a three-year one in a few months.
