And now they are replicating this same kind of operation in Kursk... Throwing battalion after battalion of their best troops into a literal fire bag for purely political optics, and the Russians are once again happy to let them do it for as long as they want. How their own soldiers that they are so pointlessly sending to their deaths haven't turned on them yet i still struggle to understand.

Nazi blocking detachments and mountain loads of anti-Russian propaganda (the latter becoming less and less relevant)
There were reports of Ukrainian soldiers (probably of the kidnapped off the street kind) being tied to one another with rope and forced to march to their positions at night, under the threat of being shot in the back
There are thousands of videos of Ukrainians being kidnapped off the streets, and i've seen actual videos of fleeing Ukrainian soldiers being killed by their own side, and i've read numerous first hand accounts about soldiers who refused to carry out orders being shot, but still i have a difficult time believing the part about being tied to one another with rope. Honestly that sounds too much like the kind of nonsense that you hear in the West about the Soviets in WW2.
Do you have a source for this? Because i try to be careful to not exaggerate when it comes to these things and not say things that i haven't seen credible evidence for.
I had a video, though by the look of it I could not determine if they were actually tied to one another. You are correct in being skeptical, sometimes pro-Russian channels like to spice things up quite a bit. So yeah, multiple reports but with no definitive proof. Sorry if I sounded sensational for a little while here.
