Russian troops suffer heavy losses
The Russian occupation forces continue to suffer losses in the Tavria sector. In the Storm and Storm-Z units, formed mainly of prisoners, 10-15% of the original personnel remain in service.
At the same time, desertion among the Russian occupiers is flourishing in the Donetsk region. This was stated by Oleksandr Shtupun, spokesman for the Joint Press Center of the Tavria Defense Forces, during a TV marathon.
"The Storm and Storm-Z units, which the enemy abandons first, suffer very significant losses. Some of them have 10-15% of their personnel left of the original number. But the Russian command and the Russian leadership continue to try to form new similar units, including on the territory of Russia," Shtupun said.
Today, the Storm and Storm-Z units are a kind of penalty battalions. They include prisoners recruited in colonies, as well as soldiers who have received disciplinary sanctions. Shtupun called them future suicide bombers.
Huge losses could not but affect the morale of the Russian occupiers. In particular, the number of deserters among the invaders is constantly growing in the Donetsk region. Even the barrier detachments used by the occupiers there could not help.
"Over the last day, total enemy losses in the Tavria operational area amounted to 456 people. Also, 19 units of enemy military equipment were destroyed," Shtupun added.
