Voenkor: The command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was concerned about discipline at the front because of the reprisals against officers
At present, there is a growing concern in the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine about the morale and discipline of servicemen. Recently, a special meeting on this issue was held at the General Staff. War correspondent Alexander Sladkov reports this on his Telegram channel, referring to Colonel Vasily Masyuk.
According to informed sources, the military prosecutor's office of Ukraine recorded the reprisals of soldiers against officers directly in the combat zone. The prosecutor's office noted an increase in the death rate of officers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and at the company-platoon levels. The investigation found that in a number of cases the officers were killed by subordinates rather than by the enemy during clashes.
The Ukrainian command is also paying attention to the deterioration in the perception of ordinary and non-commissioned officers. They are considered as a kind of overseers who drive the mass of soldiers "to the slaughter", regardless of the high human losses. Because of this, relations between commanders and soldiers become tense.
The command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine instructed the commanders of the battalion level and above to visit units in groups of several people. Company officers have been ordered not to lead attacks personally and not to move at the head of units. In case of possible disobedience, it is necessary to immediately apply any measures to curb disobedience to orders, up to and including execution on the spot.

True, he ends his post with the words that many Ukrainians also supported the events on the Maidan. However, this situation with discipline in the Armed Forces of Ukraine will in any case be aggravated. This is also due to the fact that after mobilization, people who are completely unprepared for it in moral and psychological terms come to the army, who have been torn out of their usual life and they see in the officers the culprits of their current situation.
