Russian soldiers defending a critical border are reportedly suffering 'extreme physical and psychological stress.'
Khodakovsky has signaled that his forces are experiencing"extreme physical and psychological stress" while defending the region, southeast of Velyka Novosilka, because of"constant Ukrainian artillery fire" and their alleged"inability to return fire," according to the report.
Russian President Vladimir Putin delivers a speech on May 25 in Moscow. Russian troops are unable to return fire against Ukrainian forces in a critical area along the Donetsk-Zaporizhzhia border as they seek to push back against Kyiv's counteroffensive, according to a new report from the Institute for the Study of War .
The ISW also wrote that Khodakovsky previously raised similar concerns about Russia's ability to defend the area against Ukraine, but described his latest remarks as"more negative and defeatist in tone." The report added that his concerns are"not necessarily indicative of a wider phenomenon in the Russian defense."
"However, Khodakovsky's comments likely accurately reflect the situation in his limited but important sector of the frontline as well as the situation for often neglected proxy military formations such as Khodakovsky's Donetsk People's Republic 'Vostok' Battalion," the ISW's report reads.
