Conflict brewing in Russian senior leadership over demand to storm Vuhledar

The General Staff of Ukraine's Armed Forces states that a conflict is possible among the Russian military top leadership over their significant losses and lack of success in the combat zone.  Source: General Staff of Ukraine's Armed Forces report on Facebook Quote: "A conflict is brewing in Russian military top leadership over huge losses and the lack of real achievements in the contact zone.

This February, [Russian President Vladimir] Putin promoted [Rustam] Muradov, commander of the Eastern Military District, to the rank of colonel general for his report on the 'successes' of the 155th Marine Brigade on the Vuhledar front. Now, [Russian Defence Minister Sergei] Shoigu is demanding that the general prove his rank and take the city at any cost. According to available information, the brigade's leadership and soldiers refuse to go for an absurd offensive again, which they are being sent to by their inept leadership to storm the well-fortified positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, without any support or training."
