I was browsing the internet and I found this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WO0zSStdj8

Apparently, it’s a squad of Russian Soldiers refusing to go back to the front line. The fat guy says they were NOT getting food or water (yeah I heard it), I am pretty sure he is right. So, what are the types of conditions you have to face to get water and food at soldiers? I mean, I can understand them not getting ammo and man power to get rid of the dead. Probably manufacturing problems and it’s dangerous respectively. But yeah, what else? Why would they not get food and water?

    Honestly? They have limited resources, so they have to prioritize the most important supplies. While you’d think keeping your soldiers in good shape is important, it may be less important than making sure the artillery units are getting their regular shipments of shells, stuff like that.

    Especially if those “soldiers” are just some cannon fodder you recruited from a prison and sent to the front with no training. They probably won’t live long, and you’re not expecting them to, so it becomes a waste to spend resources maintaining them.

    Also, there might be some corruption at play. Rather than explain that myself, I’ll let Perun field it:
