[Regnum] The Ukrainian Armed Forces command is not evacuating the bodies of fallen soldiers from Kupyansk, Kharkiv Oblast. This was reported by Russian security forces on Monday, November 10.
"Fighters from the 6th Army of the Zapad group are encountering a huge number of corpses of liquidated soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU), abandoned by their own commanders," a source noted in a conversation with TASS.
According to the source, as they advance through the city, Russian troops are encountering a large number of bodies abandoned by the Ukrainian side at their positions. The number of missing persons in Ukrainian Armed Forces units, he said, is growing "almost exponentially."
On November 7, a serviceman with the call sign Ruban reported that Russian troops, while capturing a stronghold in the Zaporizhzhia direction, discovered dozens of abandoned bodies of Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers, some of whom had lain there for at least a year. Ruban added that this was a rather horrific scene for him.
Another serviceman, call sign Saval, said that the Ukrainian Armed Forces command refuses to collect the bodies of its soldiers, forcing Russian troops to bury them right in the combat zone. Furthermore, Ukrainian militants are preventing the evacuation of the wounded from the battlefield, including their own soldiers.
