Russian troops are damaging their boats to avoid an assault on the islands of the Dnipro.

In the 126th Brigade of the Russian Federation, three internal investigations have been recorded due to sabotage. Russian soldiers are intentionally damaging boats and motors to avoid assaults on the islands in the Dnipro River in the Kherson region. This was reported on Tuesday, December 10, by the partisan movement "Atesh."

“An agent of the 'Atesh' movement within the Russian Armed Forces in the Dnipro direction reports that there is an increasing number of sabotage cases among Russian servicemen aimed at avoiding assaults on the islands in the Dnipro,” the post states.

To achieve this, Russians are deliberately breaking motors, puncturing rubber boats, and passing on the coordinates of boat bases and fuel supplies to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

According to the partisan movement, three internal investigations related to sabotage have been recorded in the 126th Separate Coastal Defense Brigade of the Russian Armed Forces. The post emphasizes that such incidents have become a significant issue for the Russian command.

It is worth noting that in September, partisans reported that Russian troops, due to heavy losses, began to involve military academy cadets in battles in the Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions.

The total combat losses of Russians since the beginning of the invasion of Ukraine as of the morning of December 10 amount to approximately 755,940 soldiers.
