**Russian Command’s Betrayal of Fallen Soldiers in Kherson: No Compensation, No Medals**
The Russian command is under fire for leaving the bodies of its fallen soldiers on the islands of the Kherson region, officially marking them as “missing.” This controversial practice has stirred outrage as it allows the command to avoid paying compensation to the families of the deceased soldiers. Ukrainian partisan movement Atesh shed light on this disturbing revelation on Wednesday, Dec. 25.
Russian Command’s Actions
According to agents of the movement embedded within the Russian Armed Forces, the command of the 61st Naval Infantry Brigade on the left bank of the Kherson region has been accused of abusing its power. Shocking reports reveal that commanders are sending soldiers on deadly assaults and then refusing to evacuate the bodies of those killed in action.
Outrage and Betrayal
“After one such assault, where most of the company was wiped out, the command callously refused to retrieve the bodies of their fallen subordinates. This decision is made under orders from higher authorities to evade compensating the families of the deceased soldiers. Officially, soldiers killed on the islands are callously listed as ‘missing in action,'” the partisans disclosed.
Surviving soldiers are left in anguish and frustration as commanders blatantly neglect to recover the bodies of their fallen comrades, despite having boats readily available for such retrieval missions. Adding insult to injury, a commander callously stated that no awards would be distributed until he had received all his medals first.
Escalating Tensions
The strained relationship between the soldiers and their commanders has reached a boiling point. Amidst the losses and mistreatment, tensions with the command are escalating, leading to an increase in cases of sabotage and insubordination among the soldiers. The blatant disregard for the fallen soldiers and their families has created a toxic environment within the ranks.
In the midst of this turmoil, the Ukrainian Atesh partisan movement continues to monitor and report on the movements of Russian military vehicles, providing crucial information to prevent further escalation of the conflict. Their vigilance and dedication to stopping the advance of Russian forces highlight the unwavering spirit of resistance in the face of adversity.
As the world watches the unfolding crisis in Kherson, the betrayal of fallen soldiers by the Russian command serves as a stark reminder of the human cost of war and the sacrifices made by those on the front lines. The harrowing reality of soldiers being abandoned in death underscores the urgent need for accountability and justice in times of conflict.
