Russian servicemen are massively refusing "'tours of duty in Ukraine" to participate in hostilities, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine said in a report as of 00:00.
"Cases of mass refusal of Russian military personnel from 'tours of duty in Ukraine' to participate in hostilities are recorded, despite promises regarding granting the status of a war veteran, additional daily payments and an increased official salary," the General Staff said.
The General Staff also said that in order to build up groupings in Polissia, Taurida and Pivdennobuzky task force regions, the enemy is forming and moving strategic reserves to the Ukrainian borders.
"Neglecting the norms of International Humanitarian Law, the Russian occupiers continue to destroy stationary facilities of military and civilian infrastructure on the territory of Ukraine. Thus, on March 13, missile attacks were carried out on targets in the settlements of Uman, Ivano-Frankivsk, and Starychi using strategic aircraft. In addition, launches of the Iskander OCR from the territory of Belarus continue," the General Staff said.
