Russian security sources reported that nearly one-third of the personnel from the support battalion, along with the command of Ukraine’s 60th Separate Mechanized Brigade, abandoned their positions on the Krasny Liman section of the front in the Donetsk People’s Republic.

According to the sources, those who left their posts have not re-established contact, and the battalion’s command structure is now entirely absent.

The same officials also stated that the command of Ukraine’s 156th Separate Mechanized Brigade is deploying its remaining reserves to the combat zone in Yunakovka, located in the Sumy region.
