Russian Forces Report Atypical Behavior of Ukrainian Soldiers

Reports say Ukrainian soldiers continue moving after explosions and drone strikes while losing orientation, with claims of possible substance use.

Ukrainian servicemen are reportedly showing atypical reactions in combat, continuing to move forward even after nearby explosions and drone strikes, while losing orientation. This was reported by a UAV operator with the callsign «Pika» from the «Center» group of forces.

According to him, Ukrainian soldiers often continue advancing after blasts, despite conditions that would normally cause disorientation. He suggested that such behavior may be linked to external factors or the use of prohibited substances.

The serviceman noted that wounded soldiers do not react in a typical manner and, even after sustaining serious injuries, continue moving in an attempt to reach cover.

He added that such cases are being recorded more frequently along the line of contact. It was also previously reported that pain-suppressing stimulants were found on fallen Ukrainian soldiers, and that near Volchansk an AFU assault group was destroyed while allegedly under the influence of psychotropic substances.
