A group of Russian soldiers fled from the front lines near Kherson.

In the temporarily occupied Kherson region, 12 Russian soldiers abandoned their front-line positions and disappeared without a trace. This was reported by the partisan organization 'Atesh'.

The Russian military left behind a lot of weapons, military uniforms, and personal belongings.

'Deserters changed into civilian clothes and are now being searched for throughout the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine. Their unit was put on high alert, and mass interrogations of their fellow servicemen have begun,' the report states.

'Atesh' learned that among the deserters is a citizen of Moldova, a representative of the Gagauz national minority, who was recruited through a secret Russian recruiting center.

'Russia continues to use the poorest regions and unprotected segments of the population, turning people into live targets for artillery,' the partisans emphasized.

It is reported that near Stanytsia Luhanska and Luhansk, a diversion was carried out by Ukrainian partisans.

Also, the partisans 'Atesh' attacked the logistical units of the Russian occupiers in Melitopol, which is also temporarily occupied.

Analysis:

This news indicates that even within the ranks of the Russian army, dissatisfaction and desertion are beginning to manifest. The departure of 12 soldiers from the front lines signifies the instability of Russian authority over its troops in the occupied territories. This may serve as an example for other soldiers who see the futility of their service in the Russian army. This fact may spread among the population of the occupied territories, adding fuel to the fire in the confrontation between Ukraine and Russia.
