In Kherson region, there is mass desertion among the occupiers: the RF has launched a "hunt" for the fugitives

In the Kherson region, there is a sharp increase in the number of deserters. Occupiers are leaving their positions due to harsh treatment by commanders and dangerous attacks.

The Russian command has begun a "hunt" for those who flee: strengthened checkpoints and patrols have been deployed in the area of Armyansk, and military police conduct raids to search for deserters. This was reported by the Ukrainian and Crimean Tatar military movement "ATESH".

What is known

According to "ATESH", in the Kherson region, the Russian command is facing the problem of an increasing number of deserters among the occupying forces.

"Our agents report a mass escape of military personnel from the Kherson direction. Harsh treatment by commanders, senseless attacks, and lack of rotation force soldiers to leave their positions," the message states.

To capture the escapees, the Russian command is employing significant resources.

"The command of the ’Dnieper’ troop grouping has deployed strengthened checkpoints and patrols in the Armyansk area. The military police and patrols conduct total document checks and searches to find deserters," noted "ATESH".

The movement also provided local residents’ testimonies that often Russian deserters, after leaving their positions, seize residential houses. If discovered, they use weapons.

"ATESH" appeals to the servicemen of the Russian Armed Forces: do not wait until you are caught or sent to certain death. We organize your safe exit with a guarantee of life preservation," the movement addressed the occupiers.
