Pavlova, A Marine fighting in Pavlivka describes the morale of Russian troops and the command’s indifference- Mediazona

The capture of Pavlivka village in the Donetsk region of Ukraine was announced by the Russian army on 14 November. Mediazona reported earlier that Marines from the 155th Guards Brigade in Vladivostok in the Russian Far East had made public complaints about the command and casualties. They were forced to record a rebuttal for the local governor’s Telegram channel and were thrown into further advance. Now Marines manning positions under heavy shelling are being punished for their complaints—their demands for withdrawal from Pavlivka have been denied.
