Russia actively 'mobilizes' male population in temporarily occupied territories of Donbas - Defense Intelligence of Ministry of Defense of Ukraine
"The command of Russian troops is actively 'mobilizing' the male population in the occupied territories of ORDLO, the units formed in this way are distinguished by very low combat training, discipline and morale, the Defense Intelligence of Ministry of Defense of Ukraine reports.
"According to what the 'mobilized' say, the Russian command uses them as a 'live bait'. That is, as an advanced echelon of reconnaissance in combat. Units are sent in military vehicles to the line of collision, ignoring high losses. And thus they reveal the location of the firing positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces," the message on Facebook said.
So, one of these units, which included 250-300 people, on March 16-17 lost about 200 "mobilized" in Mykolaiv direction. The part of the unit that returned to Kherson region is absolutely demoralized and refuses to further participate in hostilities.
