Russian army soldiers refuse to storm Kharkiv region
According to the ATESH guerrilla movement, an agent in one of the motorised rifle battalions of the 44th Army Corps of the Russian Armed Forces said that one of his units refused to assault the Kharkiv region.
The soldiers of this unit are well aware of the high-quality fortifications on the Russian-Ukrainian border. They also witnessed unsuccessful sabotage and reconnaissance operations by Russian troops.
When new markings with a diamond and a cross were applied to the equipment and an order was given, part of the unit refused to comply with the criminal will of the command. No one wants to go in one direction for any money, ATESH reported.
