Russians Pokrovsk Attack Routes Changed Due To "Piles of Own Dead"

Numerous reports have confirmed that Russian casualties in Ukraine this year are the highest of the war. 

Among the most brutal sectors for the Kremlin's forces has been Pokrovsk, where Ukrainian defenses and drones have made it a literal death trap. This has apparently become such a serious issue that the Russian command has been forced to change their vectors of attack because the piles of dead from previous failed attempts are demoralizing their troops ordered to advance along the same routes, who then pass "piles" of corpses, in some cases walking through or climbing over them just to get to their jumping off points. There are also reportedly more than 100 destroyed motorcycles lining some of these routes. JL

Espreso Global reports:

In the Velykomykhailivka sector (of the Pokrovsk front), Russian attackers were forced to change their routes to avoid demoralizing their units due to the numerous bodies of their own dead soldiers. "As they move forward, when they approach the contact line, they see a lot of corpses of their soldiers on the way. This has had a psychological impact on them. Because of this, directions were changed so that the personnel did not see the losses their colleagues had suffered earlier. This also applies to motorcycles, more than a hundred of which are already destroyed on the roads, in addition to infantry."

Yevhen, a serviceman with the 31st Brigade, told Espreso.

"The brigade has been stationed in the Velykomykhailivka sector. Assault operations are taking place here, the enemy does not accept its losses and keeps trying to reach the administrative border with Dnipropetrovsk region," noted Yevhen.

According to the serviceman of the 31st Brigade, the ratio of enemy losses to ours in the Velykomykhailivka sector is 5:1.

"There is some information from the enemy that its personnel who carry out assaults, when they move forward, when they approach the contact line, face the fact that they see a lot of corpses of their soldiers on the way.

This has a psychological impact on them, and they report this to their superiors. Because of this, there are facts that even directions were changed so that the personnel did not see the losses the enemy had suffered earlier. This also applies to motorcycles, more than a hundred of which are already destroyed on the roads, as well as infantry," emphasized Yevhen.

 

Over the past 24 hours, Russia’s occupying forces have lost 960 troops and dozens of pieces of equipment on the front line, according to Ukraine’s General Staff.
