In the Donetsk region, Russian forces have started moving arms and ammunition using civilian trucks, aiming to hide their supplies from Ukrainian forces' strikes, according to the ATESH partisan movement.
Ukrainian partisans have noted an increase in container-type civilian trucks in the area. Although they appear to be standard refrigerated containers, the trucks and chassis are reinforced with heavy-duty suspension, enabling the transport of exceptionally heavy loads.
Using this method, Russian forces are moving arms, ammunition, and various explosive materials to secretly conduct military logistics and shield them from Ukrainian forces' attacks.
"They used similar tactics during the hybrid war before 2022, disguising weapons as humanitarian shipments to supply proxy forces. This is clearly a war crime and violates international humanitarian law," reads the statement.
The ATESH partisan movement also reported that they are aware of the current routes used by Russian forces and their collaborators. They pledge to "disrupt this chain once and for all in the near future."
Ukrainian partisans' activity
Partisans continue identifying enemy military sites in temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine and Russia, relaying information to the Armed Forces of Ukraine for targeted strikes.
Recently, agents from the ATESH movement discovered a backup command post of Russia’s Black Sea Fleet in occupied Sevastopol.
Thanks to partisan intelligence, the Ukrainian Armed Forces recently struck Russia's 76th Guards Air Assault Division. As a result, the unit is now urgently relocating within the occupied Zaporizhzhia region.
Meanwhile, Russian marines are reportedly paying bribes to avoid combat in the Kursk region due to severe losses.
