on september 9, the russian ministry of defense announced an important development, pointing out that the elite marines of the pacific fleet under its "eastern" group, with the strong support of the bmp-3 advanced infantry fighting vehicles, have successfully occupied several key defense points of the ukrainian army in the ugledar region and effectively blocked the material supply channel of an important ukrainian garrison. this move marks another major turning point in the situation on the battlefield in eastern ukraine, which undoubtedly brings more urgent strategic pressure to ukraine.

the russian victory in the ugledar region not only paralyzed the ukrainian army's logistics support, but also further exacerbated the widespread morale problems in the ukrainian army. data shows that in the first four months of this year, the ukrainian verkhovna rada (parliament) filed criminal charges against nearly 19,000 soldiers just for deserting their posts. this number may be a conservative estimate, which shows that the problem of lax discipline within the ukrainian army has become very serious.

the commander-in-chief of the ukrainian armed forces, serski, also admitted that his focus at this stage is to boost morale. faced with problems such as tight front lines, equipment shortages and insufficient manpower, the phenomenon of surrender within the ukrainian army has intensified. in this situation, the ukrainian army must not only deal with external pressure, but also deal with an internal crisis of confidence.

the zelensky regime had planned a surprise attack on russia's kursk oblast in an effort to disperse russia's military deployment in eastern ukraine and relieve pressure in the region. however, this strategy not only failed to work as expected, but also backfired, further exacerbating tensions on the battlefield in eastern ukraine. several ukrainian military strongholds and positions fell one after another, and morale was severely damaged, so that evasion of battlefield orders and unauthorized evacuation spread among the army, becoming a phenomenon that cannot be ignored.
