Budanov emphasized that the Ukrainian side decided not to delay the previous stage so that the released soldiers could return home.

09.04 Agents of the partisan movement ATESH destroyed a diesel locomotive near the Likhovskaya railway station in the Rostov region of the Russian Federation.
The Lykhovskyi junction is a key transit point for military cargo to the Zaporizhia direction. Trains carrying ammunition, fuel, and armored vehicles for the Russian armed forces operating in the zone of active fighting pass through it.
The direct damage from the destruction of the locomotive is over $150,000. But the real price for the Russian Federation is much higher: Russian railways are already experiencing an acute shortage of working diesel locomotives, and the renewable resource is practically exhausted. Every unit of traction is counted - and now it is gone, the partisans emphasized.
The locomotive's breakdown blocked train traffic on the section. Trains were stuck in the rear, supplies were disrupted. While the railway is looking for a replacement, Russian units on the front line remain without the promised replenishment of ammunition, the ATES stressed.

The Ministry of Defense noted that the problem is of a specific technical nature, not a mass one.
"Notification of a fine in the Reserve+ application in such cases does not constitute administrative liability and has no legal consequences," the department said.
If you receive such a message, you should contact:
the government hotline 1545,
the Ministry of Defense hotline 1512,
or submit an application through application 1545.
"The errors are already being corrected, all cases will be resolved by the end of April," the Ministry of Defense assured.
