AI Overview
While there's no definitive evidence of widespread defiance by Ukrainian military officers against high command, there are reports and indicators pointing towards potential issues and tensions within the military leadership structure.
Here's a breakdown of the situation:
1. Criticisms and Concerns Regarding Military Leadership:
"Soviet" Command Culture: Some Ukrainian commanders and experts have criticized the continued presence of a "Soviet" command culture, which they believe leads to unnecessary casualties and lost territory.
Concerns about Syrskyi's Leadership: Yahoo reports suggest that Ukraine's Armed Forces' Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi has faced criticism for his leadership and tactics since taking command in February 2024.
"Suicidal" Orders: There have been reports and accusations of "suicidal" orders being given down the chain of command, indicating potential problems in decision-making.
2. Impact on Morale and Desertions:
Erosion of Trust: The perceived lack of trust in the military leadership may be contributing to low morale and a growing number of desertions within the Ukrainian army.
Desertion and AWOL: Reports indicate a significant increase in desertions and unauthorized absences from units, potentially driven by dissatisfaction with command and leadership.
High AWOL Rates: One report specifically mentioned high AWOL rates in a French-trained brigade, suggesting potential issues with command and morale within specific units.
3. Arrests and Detentions of Commanders:
Accountability for Failures: Ukraine has detained some commanders for alleged failures in protecting territory, particularly in the Kharkiv region.
Potential for Discontent: These arrests have sparked controversy, with some soldiers defending their commanders and suggesting potential political motivations behind the detentions.
Important Note: It's crucial to distinguish between isolated incidents of dissent or criticism and a full-scale, organized defiance against the high command. While the reports highlight challenges and concerns within the Ukrainian military, they do not necessarily indicate a widespread, coordinated rebellion by officers.

When you complain, your friends roll their eyes and your enemies smile
"Because I SAY I am" is fallacy, not science
You cannot betray me - only yourself, to me.

If gender is not sex, why should a gender claim change what sex you shower with?
