Russian commanders abandon bodies of fallen soldiers in Kherson assaults

The Atesh guerrilla movement reported this on Telegram.

In particular, it concerns the command of Russia's 61st Brigade operating on the left bank of the Dnipro River in the Kherson region.

"After one of the assaults, where more than half of the company was killed, the command refused to take their dead subordinates. This was done on the instructions of the higher command in order to avoid paying compensation to the families of the victims. According to the documents, the soldiers killed on the islands are considered 'missing,'" the guerrilla movement said.

Atesh also noted that the surviving Russian servicemen are engaged in conflicts with commanders, asking why the bodies are not being taken away while the boats continue to run empty. The situation is complicated by the cynical behavior of the command.

"Amid losses and this attitude, conflicts with the command are growing and cases of sabotage among the military are becoming more frequent," the guerrilla movement added.

• Earlier, the Atesh movement spoke about a trend among Russian soldiers who choose suicide over participation in an assault.
• Atesh also reported that Russian military commanders refused to involve their subordinates in assaults in the Kherson region.
