In Kherson region, occupants sabotaged exits to the water by breaking boats

(COLLAGE: Glavred)

In the Kherson sector, the occupiers are massively sabotaging access to the water, damaging their own equipment.

The ATES guerrilla movement reported on the alleged sabotage of the occupiers in the Kherson region on Telegram, citing agents among the military of the 92nd Riverboat Brigade of the Russian Armed Forces.

According to the information provided by the Russians to the guerrilla movement, the invaders disable their equipment when they receive an order to enter the Dnipro River.

The Russian command has already discovered the problem and officially suspects their subordinates of systematic sabotage. We are talking about units of one of the brigades that is part of the recently reconstituted Dnipro River Flotilla and is operationally subordinated to the Russian Black Sea Fleet.

By resorting to such actions, enemy personnel are trying to avoid performing dangerous tasks on the river, where Russian boats become an easy target. Thus, the creation of a specialized river flotilla has encountered the reluctance of the occupiers themselves to participate in combat operations in the Dnipro Delta.

"It is interesting that the equipment breaks down exactly when it is most needed to enter the Dnipro waters. Russian counterintelligence no longer believes in normal wear and tear and is frantically looking for those who help the engines "sleep" and the wiring "spontaneously combust," ATES said.

According to the guerrillas, the command suspects the crews of the boats of breaking their own boards on purpose to avoid becoming targets for the Ukrainian Defense Forces.

It has also become known that Russian commanders in the Kherson sector are withholding payments and throwing soldiers into "pits" for refusing to go on assaults.

As noted in the post, ATES agents from the 205th Separate Motorized Rifle Brigade record a systematic scheme of pressure from commanders. They deprive soldiers of payments and the status of combatants under the article"Desertion," as well as bonuses for refusing to go on pre-destructive assaults.

According to the guerrillas, soldiers who do not agree to join the attacks are forcibly sent to "pits" - improvised open-air punishment cells - without communication, sleep or access to medical care.
