Considering Prigozhin actively mutinied and Kadyrov might have been murdered (or at least an attempt made), I think treason and subterfuge are just a little more likely on the Russian side.
There have been many reports of mutinies/refusals to move as ordered etc. on the Ukrainian side as well, as you're well aware.
I generally try not to post videos of war crimes/'war porn' stuff as it's just gross, but it's not hard to find for either side. Between Zelensky and Putin there's no shortage of fired commanders/leaders, though Putin didn't fire his entire 'recruiting' command structure.
Zelensky fired his recruiting command structure for supposedly grifting. Until there's an armored column of pissed off mercs and troops marching on Kyiv and shooting down anything they see or Ukrainian window quality suddenly goes downhill, I'll have to disagree with you. I can find very little, meaning nothing, from any reputable source on Ukrainian "mutinies," but there is plenty on Russia trying its soldiers for refusing orders and Prigozhin marching on Rostov-on-Don and Moscow and destroying some pretty important Russian equipment along the way. Also all the officers and officials who keep falling out of windows.
Corruption? Hahaha. They literally grab people off the street to force them into service, widely. Every single one was corrupt, out of what, 20? I wouldn't expect any on the war champions team to have found any 'credible' sources about insurrection of UFA forces, reported on through propaganda outlets via hotels in Kiev with government approval. That is part of the problem that distorts the views of said groups, I believe.
Ukrainian recruiting, and loss rates, are going great.
In fact, even among the foreign mercenaries/volunteers the criminality and discipline is a growing problem:

The Daily Telegraph newspaper tried to conduct its own investigation into the mysterious death of two British soldiers in Ukraine. Daniel Burke disappeared from his apartment in the Zaporozhye region, and the body of Jordan Chadwick was found in a pond with his hands tied behind his back.
And the newspaper comes to a disappointing conclusion: most likely both were killed by their own people. In particular, according to the Telegraph, an analysis of the water in Chadwick's lungs showed a discrepancy with the water of the reservoir in which he was found. That is, he was drowned in another place, and then the body was transported.
And Burke, it seems, was killed because of money - the newspaper claims that a certain American millionaire transferred him 8 thousand monthly for his maintenance.
And the Telegraph writes (I quote verbatim): "Many complain that selection for service in Ukraine is practically non-existent. "There are guys who shouldn't be here: someone with a criminal record, someone with post-traumatic stress disorder, someone with drug and alcohol problems or someone using steroids," one volunteer said."

Our source in the OP said that after the murder of two British instructors, volunteers began to leave Ukraine. The President's Office is trying to stop the scandal and has instructed the SBU to find killers among criminal structures with Russian traces in order to form the necessary opinion in the West about the special operation of the Russian special services to discredit Ukraine.

Meanwhile, Russia disclaims
needing to use mercenaries at this point.
Ukrainian 'meat assault' tactics have evolved into a complex movement strategy:

On Sunday Secretary of State Antony Blinken told Jonathan Karl of ABC's This Weekthat he remained "very confident in Ukraine's ultimate success" in the ongoing war with Russia. He depicted Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky's decision to escalate its attacks inside Russia as "their decision, not ours."
Blinken's wrong-headed confidence and his acceptance of a significant escalation in the Ukraine war defies belief, given the reality on the ground today in the war. But it also could be based on insanely optimistic assessments supplied by the Defense Intelligence Agency. The DIA's assessments, as I have reported, are now the intelligence of choice inside the White House.
As a journalist who has written about national security matters for many decades, how can I explain a process that is clearly contrary to the best interests of the people of the United States and its leadership?
Sledoba's latest 12 minute podcast is pretty good, though I frankly don't take anything the North Koreans say/do real seriously (skip that part). "Russia is running out of missiles' is a pretty hilarious narrative that some keep revisiting weekly, indeed.
This TNI editorial is right, Washington
should be working to divide, not unite Russia and China.
Ukrainian attack (on churches/monasteries)
succeeds. Maybe their trans spokes person thing will have an announcement about this great win.
