Since his arrival at the head of the operation in Ukraine, the Russian general Valeri Guerassimov has reinforced discipline within his troops. This change completes a decree published on December 30, which rehabilitates the installation of military prisons and provides for increased penalties for non-compliance with instructions.
Victor Sobolev, a Russian general who is a member of the Duma’s Defense Committee, defends the disciplinary tightening imposed on the army. In his eyes, discipline remains the key to any military victory.
“Unquestionably, the important duty of a soldier is to wage war. But for that he must be a soldier, not a Tarzan or a partisan. That means he must wear the uniform, with distinctive insignia. military discipline, no one disputes it, especially since it is a guarantee of success and victory.”
