The Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense has indicated that in the period from March 20 to April 12, 2022, 70 Russian servicemen were killed during night patrols in the temporarily occupied Melitopol. Among them were the invaders, including the Kadyrov’s units.
The cause of death among the night patrols during a curfew was knife and gunshot wounds. The occupation administration carefully conceals information on the exact number of people killed and the circumstances of their deaths. However, there is evidence that this is a consequence of the Ukrainian resistance movement in Melitopol.

So far, units of the occupying forces have not achieved results in the search for persons involved in the destruction of Russian servicemen.
It will be recalled that civilian personnel of the Russian army are complaining about inflation, and trade unions are threatening to sue. Today, the Russian military-industrial complex is beginning to experience social unrest due to a sharp decline in wages and living standards. This, according to intelligence, is a logical consequence of the astronomical costs of the war and the inability to ensure stable budget revenues due to international sanctions and economic downturns.
