Russian troops in the Kupyansk sector have faced an outbreak of "mouse fever" due to inadequate winter uniforms and lack of medical care, the Chief Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine reports.

Due to the lack of medical care and inadequate provision of winter clothing, an outbreak of so-called "mouse fever" was recorded in the Kupyansk sector by the Russian occupiers. This is reported by the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, UNN writes. 

 Details 

According to Ukrainian intelligence, dissatisfaction is growing in the units of the Russian occupation army due to inadequate provision of winter clothing and a complete lack of medical care.

Thus, in the Kupyansk sector, an outbreak of the so-called "mouse fever" was recorded in many units of the Russian invaders

-  the GUR said in a message on Telegram.

It is noted that the disease is viral in nature and is transmitted to humans from rodents - through direct contact with the pathogen, by inhaling mouse excrement dust or by ingestion of mouse excrement in food.

Symptoms of "mouse fever" include severe headaches, fever up to 40 degrees, rashes and redness, low blood pressure, hemorrhages in the eyes, nausea, and  vomiting several times a day.

 Because the disease affects the kidneys, those infected with "mouse fever"  experience intense low back pain and have serious difficulty urinating.

Complaints about fever from the personnel  of the Russian army involved in the war against Ukraine were ignored by the command, considering them as another manifestation of evasion from participation in combat operations

- Ukrainian intelligence said. 

In addition, at the first stage of its course, "mouse fever" resembles the common flu. 

As the DIU pointed out, "as a result, 'mouse fever' significantly reduced  the combat effectiveness of the Russian 'rats'." 

Addendum

British intelligence reports that Russian Storm Z units may re-enter combat with unhealed wounds and amputations, receiving minimal or no medical care.
