Some of the military did not want to go “one way.”
The Atesh partisan movement on its page of the 44th Army Corps of the Russian Army refused to carry out the order of the command about the attack on the Kharkov region.
According to an informant of the movement in the Russian army, the occupiers witnessed the unsuccessful actions of sabotage and reconnaissance groups and understood that there were high-quality fortifications on the border. They “didn’t want to go one way for any money.”
The partisans also claim that the Russians began to designate their equipment with a new sign – instead of the letter Z or V on tanks, they are now forced to draw a rhombus with a cross. In order to make these marks, the occupiers have to buy the paint themselves; there is no funding for this.
- The Russians launched an offensive in the Kharkov region at about 5 a.m. on May 10.
- President Vladimir Zelensky said that the Defense Forces see the invaders’ plan.
- The General Staff said, that defensive battles continue in the Kharkov region.
