Z-channels are sounding the alarm.

In Russia’s pseudo-patriotic circles, statements are once again being made about an alleged “catastrophic situation”. In this case, the talk is about units of the 29th Army of the Russian Armed Forces. Ukrainian journalist Denis Kazansky reports this, citing the Z-channel War Zone, and writes "Dialog".

The author of the latter article paints a bleak picture of the army’s deterioration—one that is disheartening for Moscow. According to the propagandist, in some brigades, the under-strength rate can reach up to 60%. At the same time, cases of alcohol abuse, looting, and desertion are frequently reported among soldiers.

Z-Channel also reports on the use of harsh disciplinary measures and even reprisals within units. The channel reports on instances of corruption, including involving humanitarian aid, transportation, and payments for fallen servicemen.

Furthermore, the report claims that the command may be inflating combat statistics and concealing actual casualties.
