The Russian army is discussing the possibility of involving conscripts in combat due to huge losses in battles near Vovchansk in the Kharkiv region, according to the partisan movement ATESH.
In a unit of the 18th Motorized Rifle Division of the Russian Armed Forces, the possible involvement of conscripts in combat is being discussed.
According to an agent, servicemen have heard about the losses of entire platoons in the division during the assaults on Vovchansk and understand that chances of survival are practically nonexistent.
"Such information is received without enthusiasm. Only a few conscripted servicemen agree to sign a contract with the Armed Forces," the message says.
Situation in the Kharkiv region
The General Staff reported that the Ukrainian Armed Forces managed to repel the threat of a breakthrough by the Russian army in the Kharkiv region, but fighting there continues.
Russian forces are mobilizing reserves and resources in the Lypetsk and Vovchansk directions to support their offensive pace, but without success. The losses in this direction are 8 Russians to 1 Ukrainian.
Meanwhile, there is a threat of increased activity by the Russian army in the Zolochiv direction.
