Points of attention

- Russia forces guest workers and foreign citizens to participate in the war against Ukraine.
- In the military formations of the Russian Federation, the number of suicides has increased against the background of injuries and the hopeless situation at the front.
- In other directions, Ukrainian troops repelled many enemy attacks, which testifies to the heroism and resilience of Ukrainian defenders.
Why is Russia transferring its units to the Kharkiv region
As the spokesman of OTU "Kharkiv" Vitaly Sarantsev stated, the last unit that is currently advancing to the Kharkiv region is the 22nd motorized rifle regiment of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. He is nominated from the Luhansk region.
In addition, the enemy carries out internal rotations, recruits volunteer units or even foreign citizens, whom they force or deceive to go into battle.
These are representatives of the Middle East, Central Asian, or African countries. These could be senior students who are being blackmailed by being sent to the northern regions of the country if they don't go to fight. These could be deceived guest workers to whom they promised to give Russian citizenship if they take part in hostilities," said the spokesman, adding that the occupiers do not receive exorbitant amounts of money, as they usually do not even live to see the first payment, said Vitaliy Sarantsev.
Sarantsev also reported that the number of suicides among the Russian military has increased.
Suicides of wounded servicemen are very common. They understand that no one will pull them out from under the fire, that there will be no help for them, that they can no longer go forward, they cannot go back, and therefore they simply end their lives by suicide, the spokesman said.
