In the Russian army, in contrast to many western armies, it is customary to undergo initial training within operational units rather than in special training institutions.

A certain number of instructors are normally assigned within each brigade to train new recruits.

However, many of these so-called third battalions are currently deployed to Ukraine.

The lack of instructors and the rushed nature of the partial mobilization indicated that many soldiers were being sent to the front without adequate preparation.

This makes high losses likely.

Ukraine war: "Butcher of Mariupol" becomes deputy defense minister in Russia

+++ 2:06 p.m .:

After the last setbacks in the Ukraine war, there are signs of a change in Russia.

Deputy Defense Minister Dmitry Bulgakov was removed from office, the

German Press Agency

writes.

Officially, the Kremlin said on Saturday (September 24) that Bulgakov would only be “transferred to another post”.

His successor is to be Colonel-General Mikhail Mizintsev.

Since the attacks on Mariupol, Mizintsev has also been known as the "Butcher of Mariupol".

In Great Britain, among other places, his name is on the sanctions list.

First report from Saturday, September 24:

Before the trip to the war front in Ukraine, some Russian reservists seem to get very drunk again.

This should show videos that are circulating on social networks.

Some of Putin's soldiers can hardly stand up.

A group of mainly young men toasts each other with red cups.

The bus seems to be waiting at the top, taking the group further and further in the direction of Ukraine.

Despite mass protests across the country, the men appear to have resigned themselves to their fate as war soldiers.

It is unclear whether they want to drink courage or celebrate one last time.
