Russian troops massively leave wounded and killed soldiers on battlefield - Kharkiv OTG

Russian troops have received instructions from the command according to which they must leave wounded and killed occupiers on the battlefield, and in case of injury - the soldier must commit suicide.

This was stated by the spokesman for the Kharkiv Operational and Tactical Troops Group, Yevgen Romanov.

"They usually do not do this. Because they neglect these lives. They do not take their wounded," he said.

Thus, the OTG says that the russian military has instructions that oblige a wounded soldier to avoid being captured by any means, even at the cost of his own life. In case of injury, a russian must end his life on his own - with a grenade, firearm or any other convenient way.

"They even have special instructions that if a russian is wounded, he must end his life on his own. With a grenade or a weapon or in any other convenient way," he said.

Also, more and more russian soldiers are voluntarily surrendering to Ukrainian forces, for example, Romanov reported on a case when recently in the Kharkiv Axis, servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine took 8 russians prisoners at once.

As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, the number of russian occupation troops in Ukraine has increased by 100,000 people this year.

On December 10, the spokesman for the Operational and Strategic Troops Group Khortytsia, Nazar Voloshyn, said that the russian occupation army had gathered a 150,000-strong grouping on three sectors of the front in the Donetsk Region, where active fighting is currently underway.
