In the Konstantinovka sector, Russian servicemen are engaging in sabotage by deliberately disabling equipment to avoid being sent to the front lines.
According to RBC-Ukraine, citing the "ATESH" partisan movement, soldiers are damaging engines, draining fluids, and sabotaging electrical wiring and fuel systems.
"People don’t want to go there. Anyone who can break something—breaks it. There’s no point for commanders to make a fuss, because they understand where they’re being sent," noted a representative of the "ATESH" movement.
The movement believes that Russian soldiers’ fear of the front lines outweighs their fear of disciplinary punishment. This leads to equipment sitting idle and units losing their combat effectiveness.
According to "ATESH," these are no longer isolated incidents but a systemic problem in the Konstantinovka sector. They continue to document such trends and work with sources within the occupation structures.
As a reminder, earlier, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, following a report by Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrskyi, stated that Russian troops were attempting to intensify assaults on the front lines, which only increases the Russian Federation’s military losses.
