⚖️ The occupiers pay bribes to "get out" of the army - massive criminal cases are opened in russia

👥 In the russian army, problems with personnel are worsening: the number of those willing to leave the service and avoid death in the war waged against Ukraine is increasing.

✔️ This is evidenced, in particular, by the sharp outbreak of registered criminal proceedings on the facts of bribery in the russian army.

👉 For example, in the southern military district of the russian Federation in 5 months of 2024, the number of open criminal cases for illegal dismissal from service due to health conditions and granting of illegal vacations tripled.

☑️ Almost half of such proceedings are investigated against the occupiers of the 8th Combined Arms Army. Another 36% belongs to the 58th combined army of the aggressor state, the commander of which was arrested in the spring of this year on suspicion of corruption.

❗️ More than a hundred proceedings opened against officials of the military units of the southern military district of the russian Federation relate to bribery for granting leave from the combat zone.

👉 Among them:

● 38 cases – concerning servicemen of the 102nd motorized rifle regiment (conducting combat operations in the Chasovoy Yar area);
● 35 cases – regarding the 71st Motorized Rifle Regiment (located on the border with the Sumy region);
● 33 cases – regarding the 49th brigade of the 49th army.

💰 As part of another 43 proceedings, the facts of receiving bribes for recognizing the occupiers as limited fit are being investigated.

‼️ GUR of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine emphasizes: the level of corruption in the russian army has always been high, but earlier such cases of bribery were not paid attention to.

☝️ Fixation of the relevant episodes in the form of criminal cases may indicate the increasing level of demoralization of the personnel of the occupation forces and the threatening tendency for Moscow to escape from the Russian army by any means.
