Russian Kherson Unit Sets Fire To Own Position To Protest Commander

More reports are surfacing of Russian units sabotaging their own positions and weapons in protest against futile meat assaults. 

The attacks against deep Ukrainian positions, often prove suicidal for the troops ordered to make them, especially in sectors like Kherson where the natural landscape as well as the Ukrainians make success nearly impossible. JL

Espreso Global reports:

Russian troops of the 205th Brigade on the left bank of Ukraine's Kherson region  are reportedly setting fire to their own positions in protest against their command. These are not isolated incidents, but signs of growing chaos, fatigue, and collapsing discipline in the unit. Soldiers are unhappy with Brigadier General Eduard Shandura, who does not spare personnel, throwing people into "meat" assaults, thinking only about his own career prospects.

The invading Russian troops on the left bank of Ukraine's Kherson region are reportedly setting fire to their own positions in protest against their commandThis was reported by agents of the Atesh partisan movement, including soldiers from the 205th brigade of the Russian army.

According to their information, troops from the 1st battalion plan to start deliberate fires in their positions. The goal is to reach the command by sabotaging orders.

Atesh notes that these are not isolated incidents, but signs of growing chaos, fatigue, and collapsing discipline in the unit. More and more soldiers are unhappy with Brigadier General Eduard Shandura, who does not spare personnel, throwing people into "meat" assaults, thinking only about his own benefit and career prospects.

“Our agents also found that the situation in the 205th brigade is not new. Soldiers still remember the story of a brigadier general who beat his men and then got promoted to the General Staff. Exhaustion, apathy, and the refusal to address systemic problems are only making things worse,” the partisans said.

• A call intercepted by Ukrainian intelligence revealed that a Russian soldier, originally thought to be missing, was actually eaten by one of his fellow troops.
