Russia to inspect occupied part of Kherson Oblast over sabotage and suicides among its military, Ukrainian partisans say

A commission from the Russian Ministry of Defence arrived at the 1196th Motorised Rifle Regiment, stationed in the occupied territory of Kherson Oblast, due to issues with poor discipline, the Ukrainian partisan movement said.

Details: Atesh noted that the commission’s visit is directly linked to the rising incidents of sabotage targeting Russian boats and the increasing number of suicides among the Russian military.

These incidents “undermine the discipline and combat capability of the units,” and the Russian command views them as a serious threat.

The Russians are reportedly concerned that such issues could disrupt plans for their offensive on the right bank of Kherson Oblast, which remains under Ukrainian control.
