Russian officers massively avoiding front, hiding in rear - Defense Intelligence

Russian officers are avoiding the front and hiding in the rear units. This phenomenon is massive. This is stated in the message of the Defense Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine

Thus, according to the Defense Intelligence, more than 45% of officers of the armed forces of the aggressor country of the russian federation, who are part of the reserve units of the Southern Military District of the russian armed forces, do not have any legal grounds for serving in the rear.

"The documents signed by the Chief of Staff of the Southern Military District, Lieutenant General Mikhail Zusko, revealed the facts of the groundless transfer of more than 900 officers to rear units. Of these, at least 200 were appointed despite the already full staffing of the units," the Defense Intelligence noted.

The intelligence officers also recorded cases of these "reservists" leaving the service voluntarily.

"The mass escape from the front line, framed as a formal transfer to the rear, indicates demoralization and crisis in the russian command structure. Realizing the scale of losses and the inevitability of their own death, officers of the aggressor state are trying at all costs to avoid participating in hostilities," the Ministry of Defense's Defense Intelligence stressed.

As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, intelligence officers have published evidence of cannibalism in the russian army.
