Recently, there has been an increase in the number of suicides among Russian military personnel stationed in the occupied Kherson region, reports the partisan movement ATESH.
According to ATESH, the suicides involve Russian soldiers from the Russian Dnepr group stationed in the occupied part of the Kherson region. The likely cause of these tragedies is repression by the command, especially against those who refuse to participate in combat operations.
In recent times, several suicide cases have been recorded in various settlements of the Kherson region.
"Two weeks ago, in Hola Prystan, a young man who had recently signed a contract with the Russian Ministry of Defense hanged himself, likely not fully aware of the consequences. In Kalanchak, another soldier shot himself after learning he was being transferred to an assault unit," reports ATESH.
In Skadovsk, another Russian soldier took his own life by drowning in the sea. Initially, the command tried to portray it as an accident, but later it became known that the soldier had been tortured by his commander beforehand. The cause of this mistreatment was the soldier's refusal to participate in combat on the Dnipro Islands.
Earlier, partisans reported panic within the Russian Dnepr military group. According to an agent from the organization, Russian officers received orders to prepare for an offensive on the right bank of the Kherson region.
