Battalion commander of the 47th brigade submits resignation report, slams military leadership…

"I have never received more stupid tasks than in the current direction," Oleksandr Shyrshyn wrote in a blunt Facebook post announcing his decision on May 16. "Someday I will tell you the details, but the stupid loss of people, trembling in front of a stupid generals, leads to nothing but failures."

In 2024, the brigade where Shyrshyn was serving was engaged in combat operations within Russia's Kursk Oblast.
