Yesterday, Russia adopted a new law where electronic mobilisation subpoenas will be considered delivered from the moment they appear in the personal account, limiting the ability of future mobiks to leave the country. More material for the meat assaults!
And now, it appears Russia is exploring imposing a new military tax of 2-3% in addition to the income tax.

Russian mobik says they are positioned right next to Vuhledar, although they should be in the territorial defence. All they can do is simply hide from shelling and pray to not get hit.
In addition, they are not paid daily allowances for the same reason - supposedly they are in the rear, and not on the front lines.

Russian mobilised from the Moscow and Ivanovo regions recorded a video message with complaints that they were illegally taken from Rostov-on-Don to the Luhansk region, with all their documents seized.
It's a complete mess but what seems to have happened is that they were all forced to go to Ukraine by the orders of god-knows-who. They're not getting promised payments and those with injuries are returned to combat. They don't know where they are, which units they belong to, who are their officers, and what their next steps are.

A surprisingly self-aware Russian soldier reveals that he doesn't why he is in Ukraine, in this intercepted call. He states that the locals are hostile to the invaders and being here makes little sense.
Note that while published by GUR recently, the call might be quite old.

An intercepted call reveals the morale of the Russian troops during the February Vuhledar kamikaze column burning. In this call, the Russian soldier tells his wife that "so many of our boys were burned inside the tanks". Reacting to her question about equipment delivery, he says it's all being stolen, and the Donbas people (separatists) are similar to a criminal bandit gang in their dealings.
He also mentions the 70th regiment which was one of the first to enter Ukraine in Feb-Mar last year, the "elite" unit which took enormous casualties and was abandoned by contract soldiers. The regiment is now under the risk of having it banner withdrawn.

18-year-old "Maliy" is a serviceman of the 3rd Separate Assault Brigade. He decided to take up arms and destroy the invaders. He says that his motivation is twofold, since he comes from the Zaporizhzhia region - he dreams of liberating his native land from the enemy and taking revenge for his fallen friends.

Brothers morale high: video from the other side shows Russian soldiers complaining about their command, about sitting in a trench for a month, barely shooting from their guns. All they're doing is retreating while being paranoid about drones and Ukrainian mortar fire.
(Sorry for the poor quality, all I could find).

Rats abandoning the ship: leaked phone call reveals two Russian businessmen slamming Putin and Russia's war. The men in the call are identified as Roman Trotsenko and Nikolai Matushevsky, some of the richest men in Russia. The original call dated to 10 January is over 40 minutes, but the 5-minute snippet contains the juiciest bits. Translation by us included.
Whether the call is real is impossible to establish, but it could well have similar objectives as the call released last month between Iosif Prigozhin and Farkhad Akhmetov: to distance themselves from the Russian authorities, and "wash off their sins", remove sanctions.
The call was published by "Nastoyashee Vremya" agency.
