The Russian military, stationed in the temporarily occupied territories of Kherson region, are afraid to repair their vehicles at civilian service stations, so they are forced to take their vehicles to Crimea. The reason is cases of deliberate breakdowns after service.

This was reported by an agent of the Atesh resistance movement from the Russian 205th separate motorized rifle brigade,

According to him, the military from Nova Kakhovka are actively discussing in their work chats about ten incidents when vehicles broke down after being repaired at service stations in Skadovsk, Hola Prystan and Zaliznyi Port. Because of this, the occupiers are forced to transport their vehicles to workshops in Crimea, which greatly complicates their logistics.

According to Atesh, breakdowns have become more frequent since the end of last year, with some of them occurring directly in the areas of hostilities, resulting in casualties among the personnel. The Russian military openly distrusts the locals, calling them "khokhles" and "zhduns".

The guerrillas called on the residents of the temporarily occupied territories to join the resistance in order to bring the day of liberation of their native land closer.

Recently, Atesh reported that in the temporarily occupied Crimea, the Russian Guard began guarding wounded soldiers in hospitals to prevent their escape. Soldiers control the perimeter of medical institutions and check patients' documents. Such measures were introduced after cases of escapes from hospitals related to the systematic sending of the wounded to the front, where they often die.

On March 1, agents reported significant losses among Russians after a strike on an airfield in Crimea. In particular, some of the injured occupants were hospitalized in Saki, and the seriously wounded were evacuated to Simferopol.
