Russia engages cadets in war against Ukraine amid personnel shortage - Ukrainian guerrillas

According to the Atesh guerrilla movement, cadets are being sent on "long-term business trips" where they lead units as squad and platoon commanders and participate in assaults.

In return, these cadets receive combatant status and automatically pass their semester exams. Partisans say that no one would be shocked if Russia started sending Yunarmiya schoolchildren into battle.

Additionally, guerrillas noted that Russian units had recently launched an offensive in the Pokrovsk direction and thus attempted to halt the advance of Ukrainian Armed Forces in Russia's Kursk region. This push occurred despite significant Russian losses and an inability to quickly replenish their forces.

• Agents of the Atesh guerrilla movement record changes in the mood of Crimean residents, who allegedly fear that the Ukrainian Armed Forces' operation in Kursk region may be repeated on the peninsula.
