Russian Army Hides Fuel in Residential Areas During Supply Crisis

After the loss of numerous oil depots, the Russian army has developed a new "strategy" for storing fuel: now they pour it into tankers and hide it among residential areas in the occupied territories. Such orders came from the Russian Defense Ministry to the invaders' units.

This is stated in the message of the Atesh guerrilla movement.

"Now we are getting more and more evidence of this: entire convoys of fuel trucks and tankers are leaving Crimea, moving to the front line, and then disguising themselves in residential areas and yards of Ukrainians," the guerrillas say.

According to the agents, this tactic requires the occupiers to constantly move fuel trucks to avoid Ukrainian strikes, but their every move is closely monitored by Ukrainian guerrillas. Instead of protecting their logistics, the Russians are forced to turn yards and shops into makeshift oil depots. The Atesh guerrillas ridicule such actions and urge Ukrainians to report the movements of the occupiers' columns.

"We record every movement. If you have information, pass it on to us, and the enemy will be left without fuel!" the resistance movement says.

Earlier, Atesh agents, who are integrated into the Russian Armed Forces, reported the beginning of the withdrawal of some anti-aircraft missile units from the temporarily occupied Crimea to the territory of Russia. The losses of oil depots and logistics centers have already reached a critical level, which jeopardizes the supply of fuel for Russian troops. This, in turn, could negatively affect their combat capability at the front.

Recently, the Russian military has been actively moving equipment in Crimea after attacks by Ukrainian UAVs.

The guerrillas have also discovered that the Russians have begun to redeploy their aircraft to inactive airfields.
