The Russian frontline is experiencing a catastrophic internal collapse. According to explosive admissions from former Russian Colonel Viktor Baranets, Putin's forces have been forced into a humiliating 3 to 6-kilometer retreat across the Lyman and Sloviansk-Kramatorsk sectors. But the true crisis lies in the complete breakdown of military discipline. Faced with severe equipment shortages and a 10-kilometer Ukrainian FPV drone "death zone," over 50,000 Russian soldiers have officially abandoned their positions and fled in 2024 alone. With daily casualties hitting 2,000 in the Pokrovsk sector and field executions failing to stop the mass mutiny, Moscow is desperately turning to African and Central Asian mercenaries to plug the gaps. Compounded by a collapsing domestic economy relying on covert money printing to fund a record 17.1 trillion ruble defense budget, Putin's war machine is rotting from the inside out. In this SITREP, we analyze the mass Russian desertions and the devastating collapse of Putin's frontline discipline.
