russia is trying to motivate L/DPR militants to reinforce its troops in Donbas – intelligence
Commanders are probably turning to direct financial incentives
What happened? russia is trying to motivate L/DPR militants to augment its regular troops in the Donbas.
Source. The report of intelligence of Great Britain.
Details. The experts recall a video in which a military unit of the self-proclaimed LPR made a statement about their refusal to participate in offensive operations.
The fighters claimed they had fulfilled their duty in securing the LPR’s control over Luhansk Oblast and were unwilling to fight in Donetsk Oblast despite threats and intimidation by senior commanders.
Intelligence officials note that russia is trying to motivate the “auxiliary forces” it is using to augment its regular troops in the Donbas. “Commanders are probably resorting to direct financial incentives, while some combat units are deemed unreliable for offensive operations.”
The British add that a consistent contributing factor to these problems is russia’s classification of the war as a “special military operation” which limits the state’s powers of legal coercion.
