Russian Volunteer Andrey , who takes part in a special military operation in Ukraine, told what is the positional struggle that is now observed at the front, and what is the most common cause of the death of soldiers.
"Shells fly, then the fighters take up positions and form strong point,» he said in an interview with Podmoskovye Segodnya, noting that the Russian and Ukrainian military are now following the same tactics.
According to him, the task of the Russian military is to dig trenches, create dugouts, then adjust heavy equipment and work out on enemy strongholds. He noted that it is difficult to knock someone out of position, so an outside observer does not see many-kilometer breakthroughs and it seems to him that nothing is happening.
As for losing, according to Andrey, most often they come from -for negligence and unwillingness to take care of yourself.
«Sometimes, people were too lazy to dig fortifications,» the volunteer said, explaining that you often have to change positions and therefore sometimes you can’t part with a shovel all day.
«You can't give up and relax on combat duty,» the Russian military also said.
