Defence Intelligence: Wounded Russian soldiers are not granted leave due to mass desertion

The Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine reports that Russians cannot cope with the influx of sanitary losses among their personnel.

Civilian hospitals in the occupied Ukrainian cities, which Russians use for their own purposes as military hospitals, are overcrowded.

Deprivation of basic medical needs for the civilian population in the enslaved regions of Ukraine and the conversion of medical institutions for military needs of the Moscow army have not yielded the desired results.

In connection with this, the Russian command decided to refuse treatment to lightly wounded individuals.

Some medical assistance is still provided to occupiers with moderate injuries.

As for severe cases, due to a lack of equipment and qualified specialists, they are sent to Russia – not everyone makes it.

Another acute problem for the Russian army is the prescribed rehabilitation leaves for the soldiers after injuries.

The fact that some individuals do not return from "rehabilitation" led to the decision to cancel such leaves altogether – another method by which the Russian command is trying to halt mass desertion.
