Occupiers have pulled additional National Guard reserves to eastern Ukraine.


The occupiers have pulled additional forces of the National Guard to the temporarily occupied east of Ukraine. They will search for deserters. This was reported by the Center of National Resistance.
According to the Center of National Resistance, due to the increase in cases of desertion from the line of combat contact, the occupiers have increased the number of checkpoints in eastern Ukraine. As a result, additional forces of the National Guard have arrived in the temporarily occupied territory to search for deserters in the Russian army. This has led to an increase in patrols in Donetsk, Horlivka, and other captured settlements.
“The reason for desertion is the active meat assaults introduced by Russian generals due to a shortage of equipment on the battlefield,” notes the “Resistance”.
Earlier it was reported that in Vovchansk, Russians use mercenaries from Egypt. Also, in the temporarily occupied territories, the arrival of militants from Cuba and Nepal is observed.
Previously, an employee of the Russian Academy of Sciences was responsible for recruiting Cuban citizens to participate in the hostilities against Ukraine. Initially, they were attracted by construction jobs in the rear, but later they were handed uniforms and contracts from the Russian Ministry of Defense.
