[Vesti] In the occupied territories of the Kherson region, Russian troops cannot provide themselves with drinking water and flee across the Dnieper in stolen motorboats. This was reported by the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense. Moreover, the GUR is talking about men from Gorlovka who were previously "mobilized" and sent to the occupied Kherson region. When they refused to take part in hostilities, communication with them disappeared (earlier, the General Staff reported that it was these military men who had been promised by their commanders to be sent to the front line without weapons ).

"The command of the airborne assault unit of the airborne troops of the Russian Federation, located near Kakhovka, cannot solve the problem of providing personnel at the forefront with drinking water and ammunition. The local population refuses to provide Russians with food even under duress. Currently, water supplies and ammunition are being replenished at night, by civilian vehicles hijacked in the nearest settlements ," the scouts say.

The GUR adds that a number of units of the Russian army in the Kherson region received an order to withdraw personnel to the left bank of the Dnieper, using small boats for this - motor boats stolen in the surrounding villages. "

Near the place of the ferry crossing across the Dnieper, the appearance of several groups of unarmed rashists of 10-20 people was recorded. These servicemen refused to participate in hostilities. As a result, the unit commanders removed them from all types of allowances, confiscated their weapons and released them "for free bread." For now, they are forced to beg from local residents and are looking for an opportunity to return home," the ministry said.

Meanwhile, as the GUR adds, as a result of "mobilization" into the occupying army, there are practically no men left in Gorlovka. Only women, children and the elderly remained in the city. And where are the men from Gorlovka? This is still unknown, the scouts say. Those who were "mobilized" into the 9th Separate Marine Regiment of the 1st Army Corps of the Occupation Forces have not been contacted since September 11th. Being in the Kherson region, they refused to participate in hostilities. The latest information that came from them was that Russian commanders threatened to send all "refuseniks" to the front line without weapons.
