Atesh reported this on Telegram.

All servicemen in the regiment have been instructed to write their personal information (full name, personal ID number, and date of birth) on a piece of paper and place it inside a cartridge shell, which they must carry with them at all times. 

Partisans explain that this is meant to simplify identification in case of injury or death.  

“This unit was formed after the start of the full-scale invasion and is primarily staffed with mobilized personnel. However, the Russian command shows no regard for losses, issuing orders for desperate assaults and continuing to send their troops to certain death,” noted the Atesh movement.

  • In the occupied Ukrainian territories, particularly in the Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions, Russian troops keep amassing forces.
