Among Russian troops on the Prydniprovsk direction, there is a growing trend of sabotage aimed at avoiding participation in attacks on the islands in the Dnipro delta. The ATES movement, operating within the Russian Armed Forces, reports numerous cases of deliberate damage to boats and motors, as well as the transfer of coordinates to Ukraine's Defense Forces.

This information was shared by ATES via Telegram.

Sabotage among the Russian military

Russian soldiers are deliberately damaging rubber boats, disabling motors, and providing the Ukrainian side with information about the locations of boat bases and fuel reserves. These actions have already become a significant problem for the Russian command, which is trying to carry out attacks under the challenging conditions of the Dnipro islands.

At least three internal investigations into sabotage have been recorded within Russia's 126th Separate Coastal Defense Brigade. This indicates growing dissent among the personnel, who are increasingly unwilling to follow their commanders' orders.

Representatives of the ATES movement are calling on other Russian military to follow the example of their comrades.

"We call on other Russian soldiers to follow their example. A simple action like damaging a boat can save you from certain death. You don't need these islands, and following the orders of the command is a one-way street," the message reads.

Recently, ATES partisans told how the Russians are fortifying the embankment of Yevpatoriia and about the damage to the railway line connected with the military supply of weapons and equipment to the Kursk region.
