Russian occupiers are experiencing mass poisonings on the front lines in the Kharkiv region due to poor quality food and water, according to the Operational Tactical Group Kharkiv.

According to the Ukrainian Armed Forces, in the area of Hlyboke in the northern Kharkiv region, the enemy is conducting sporadic movements of personnel to replenish current shortages at the front lines.

The Defense Forces report that the Russian troops are also experiencing mass poisoning incidents.

"Due to the low quality of food and drinking water at the front lines of the 11th Tank Regiment of the 18th Motorized Rifle Division, there are widespread cases of gastrointestinal disorders among the personnel and an urgent need for medications, which is leading to a decline in the morale and psychological state of the occupiers," the report says.

Overall, the situation in the Kharkiv direction has remained unchanged over the past day. The enemy’s losses for the past day amounted to 85 occupiers, including 24 irretrievable and 59 sanitary. Two occupiers surrendered.

Additionally, the Russians have lost 78 units of weapons and military equipment, either destroyed or damaged.
