This was reported by the partisan movement Atesh.

According to agents of the movement within the Russian Armed Forces’ 24th Motorized Rifle Regiment, the 28th MRR is being rotated out of the Oleshky area due to heavy personnel losses, while preparations for new assaults are underway.

It is reported that Russian command is forcing soldiers to pool their own money to buy scooters for assault operations.

“Armored vehicles have long been in short supply, so the choice is simple — either on a scooter or on foot. The soldiers are demoralized by this attitude and planning. ‘Meat grinder assaults’ will continue here, but now on scooters — for those who manage to find them,” the message reads.

  • On June 12, in the temporarily occupied part of Kherson region, members of the "ANTISMERSH" movement burned a Russian military police vehicle.
