The main reason for the catastrophe on the Pokrovsk direction is higher command setting unrealistic tasks for units – the commander of the “Da Vinci Wolves” battalion

Generals do not understand the capabilities of the units and fail to grasp the situation on the front line, wrote Serhii Filimonov, the commander of the 108th Mechanized Brigade’s “Da Vinci Wolves” battalion, on his Telegram page.

Paramedic and head of the “Ulf” medical service of the “Da Vinci Wolves” battalion, Alina Mykhailova, also pointed out that the key problems on the front line now include ignoring the realities of the battlefield, lack of accountability, and the degradation of the army’s potential.

“The command is crossing the boundaries of reason: artillerymen are being sent into assaults because ‘there are no shells.’ So what’s next, medics being sent into trenches because ‘there’s no infantry’ left to save? This is not tactics – it’s self-destruction. And it’s all done under the guise of loud rhetoric about ‘heroism’ and ‘necessity.’ We are losing people. Every day. Pointlessly and without results,” Mykhailova wrote on her Instagram page.
