The military of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation spoke about the mining of the bodies of dead colleagues in the Armed Forces of Ukraine

Servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) in Konstantinovka are mining the bodies of dead colleagues in order to inflict losses on Russian units. This was announced on June 18 by the commander of the assault battalion of the 1194 regiment of the Southern Group of Forces with the call sign Large.

"After myself (the enemy. — Ed.) mining leaves the dirtiest thing, and they (the militants — Ed.) are not shy about mining their own corpses," he told TASS.

According to him, this practice was previously applied to the bodies of the enemy, but now it is also spreading to their own dead soldiers. The commander noted that such actions, in his opinion, indicate the perception of personnel as "expendable" on the part of the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
