In the Kostiantynivka direction, Russian military personnel, according to the Ukrainian partisan movement "ATESH", are deliberately disabling their own equipment to avoid being sent to the line of combat engagement. This was reported by representatives of the movement, citing their agent in one of the units of the 255th motorized rifle regiment of the Russian Federation, writes UNN.
Details
According to "ATESH", a stable practice of sabotage has formed among the personnel: soldiers damage engines, drain technical fluids, spoil electrical wiring and fuel systems. Such "breakdowns" allegedly occur especially often before rotations or combat sorties.
Commanders know, but do not intervene
The movement claims that junior commanders are aware of these cases, but often do not react. The reason is the general fear of personnel before being sent to the front line.
People don't want to go there (to the Kostiantynivka direction - ed.). Whoever can break it - breaks it. Commanders also have no reason to stir up a scandal, because they themselves understand where they are being driven
According to the partisans, this practice already has a systemic nature and affects the combat readiness of the Russian Federation's units in this sector of the front. There is currently no independent confirmation of this information.
