Quote: "The morale and the psychological condition of [soldiers in] the occupying units [of the Russian Armed Forces] have considerably deteriorated, and instances of desertion have become more common, due to significant losses [sustained by the Russian army] and a lack of willingness to participate in combat.

The enemy was forced to deploy helicopters and weapons in search for deserters and in order to return them to combat positions on the temporarily occupied territory of Kherson Oblast, near the village of Babenivka Druha."

Details: The General Staff also reports that unarmed Russian soldiers are being transported by bus to temporarily occupied Crimea, via Kalanchak checkpoint [in Kherson region].
