Ukrainian sabotage units are attempting to slip into the rear of Russian formations by disguising themselves as Russian servicemen, but these efforts have so far failed.

According to information provided to TASS by Russian security agencies, there has been a recent uptick in the activity of such groups operating from Zaporozhye Oblast and moving toward the southwestern areas of the Donetsk People’s Republic. The operatives reportedly try to cross the line of contact wearing Russian military uniforms in an effort to avoid detection. Security officials say these incursions have not produced any tangible results, as the groups are identified before they can gain a foothold.

The same sources report a different development on another sector of the front in the Donetsk People’s Republic. In the area around Belitskoye, Ukrainian troops have been observed attempting to abandon their positions and withdraw in small, scattered groups. These movements, however, are quickly detected. Once identified, the retreating units come under attack, with strikes carried out using FPV drones.

Russian security officials describe both situations as tightly controlled, noting that attempts at covert penetration and uncoordinated withdrawals are being monitored and countered in real time.
