In the Kharkiv region, the AFU began to desert whole units — Marochko

Over the past day, about ten Ukrainian servicemen arbitrarily abandoned their positions in a stronghold near the settlement of Boguslavka, Kharkiv region.

This was stated in his Telegram channel on Thursday, October 24, by a military expert, retired LPR lieutenant colonel Andrei Marochko, citing his own sources.

"Over the past day, with the help of objective control, information was revealed that about 10 soldiers of the armed formations of Ukraine had voluntarily left their positions. They fled from one of the platoon strongholds in the Boguslavka area," the veteran said.

According to him, mass desertion is observed in the troops of the Kiev regime operating in the Kupyansk direction. Ukrainian soldiers are abandoning their positions to avoid clashes with the advancing Russian units.

Earlier, EADaily reported that Russian troops from the Zapad grouping operating in the Svatovo-Kremen site broke through the Ukrainian defense line at two sites near the village of Stelmakhovka, Svatovsky municipal district.
