Military journalist Roman Bochkala stated this in a commentary to the publication "GORDON".
As Roman Bochkala reported, citing his sources among the military, many in the army are unhappy with the decision to withdraw equipment and are going to boycott it.
"Is a buffer zone necessary? It all depends on the goals and objectives of the state's political leadership. If we want to resolve the conflict through diplomatic means, then a buffer zone is an inevitable step. But if we ask the military, we'll hear anger and indignation. I spoke with many of them today and can confirm that orders have been received along the entire front line to strictly withdraw equipment from the front. To put it mildly, this is causing confusion among soldiers and officers.
Some are even planning to "partisan" – hide equipment from command, fearing that the enemy will take advantage of the withdrawal of forces and counterattack ," says Bochkala.
