Russian military refuse to attack Kharkiv - Atesh guerrilla movement

This was reported by the Atesh guerrilla movement.

It is noted that the Atesh agent serves in one of the motorized rifle battalions of the 44th Army Corps of the Russian Armed Forces. According to him, in his unit, one of the divisions refused to go on an assault in the Kharkiv region.

The soldiers of this unit are well aware of the high-quality fortifications on the Russian-Ukrainian border. They have also witnessed unsuccessful sabotage and reconnaissance operations by Russian troops.

"In view of this, when new insignia in the form of a rhombus with a cross were applied to the equipment and an order was given, part of the unit refused to comply with the criminal will of the command. (Insignia, by the way, are applied at their own expense.) No one wants to go one way for any money," the guerrillas wrote.

• At 11:00 p.m. on May 10, the Ukrainian Armed Forces General Staff reported that defensive battles are currently underway in the Kharkiv region. Counterattacks continue in the directions of Lyptsi and Vovchansk. Russia is using infantry and equipment.
