Working 'as bait': Russia uses manpower to identify Ukrainian Armed Forces positions.

Russian security forces use infantry groups on the front lines to locate positions of Ukrainian defenders. This information was shared by the spokesperson for the OTU "Kharkiv," Vitaliy Sarantev.

He noted that the Russian enemy is trying to preserve its armored vehicles and weapons, so it uses infantry as bait to draw our defense forces out of Ukrainian positions. However, this tactic leads to large losses among Russian infantrymen.

The most dangerous point on the front remains Vovchansk and the neighboring settlements. There, the Russians are trying to expand their control zone using any means, including heavy-caliber weapon shelling.

The OTU "Kharkiv" spokesperson also stated that the Russian enemy sometimes attacks its own units. This reflects its desperation and anger. Naturally, such attacks fail, as the Ukrainian army is well-oriented in the enemy's actions.

Since the full-scale invasion of the Russian army into Ukraine, the total losses amount to approximately 643,750 occupiers. Over the past day, Ukrainian defenders have destroyed 1,330 enemy fighters.

It was also reported that in the Kursk region, the Ukrainian Armed Forces eliminated the commander of a Russian airborne assault regiment.

It is important to note that Russia has lost over 610,000 military personnel in the fighting in Ukraine. Meanwhile, due to the decrease in conscription rates, the budget needs to put in efforts to increase bonuses for contractors.
