Reactions to the Russia- Ukraine warÂ
As stated by the UK’s Ministry of Defence, the Russian military effort in Ukraine is characterized by reservists’ misunderstanding over their eligibility for deployment and inadequate training and equipment.
The MoD reported in its daily update that some reservists were being forced to serve despite having “severe chronic health issues” since they were mobilized in response to Vladimir Putin’s announcement of a “partial mobilization.”

The MoD said that while working under intense artillery bombardment to construct “ambitious” trench systems close to the town of Svatove in the Luhansk region, Russian servicemen are likely to have sustained significant fatalities.
It further noted that numerous frontal assaults into fiercely defended Ukrainian territory close to Bakhmut in the Donetsk region had resulted in the deaths of Russian reservists. Both regions are in eastern Ukraine, close to the Russian border.
