The Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine reports that dissatisfaction is growing among the units of the Russian occupying army due to inadequate winter supplies and a complete lack of medical assistance.
On the Kupyansk front line, in many units of the Russian invaders, an outbreak of the so-called "rat fever" has been recorded.
The disease is viral and is transmitted to humans from rodents—through direct contact with the pathogen, by inhaling dust from mouse droppings, or by ingesting them in food.
Symptoms of rat fever include severe headache, a rise in body temperature to 40 degrees Celsius, rashes and redness, low blood pressure, bleeding in the eyes, nausea, vomiting several times a day.
Since the disease affects the kidneys, those infected with rat fever experience intense pain in the lower back and have serious difficulties with urination.
Complaints about rat fever from the personnel of the Russian army engaged in the war against Ukraine have been ignored by the command, considering them as another manifestation of avoiding participation in combat. Moreover, at the initial stage of rat fever, its course resembles a common flu.
