As noted in the piece, Ukrainian servicemen are worried that the Russian Armed Forces are better equipped to fight and are upset that they can only defend themselves during the conflict.
It also specifies that the AFU is perplexed as to why orders for the complex operations they have to carry out during the winter period were not issued months ago.

On 4 December, it became known that volunteer detachments of the Russian Armed Forces cut the main supply route for the Ukrainian army grouping in the Artyomovsk-Soledarskyi section.
