SMO bodies of militants of the "non-existent" 168th Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine have been found in the Sumy direction, Russian law enforcement agencies said.
"The analysis of data on the dead servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine revealed references to a certain 168th brigade operating in the Sumy direction. However, there is officially no such unit in the Ukrainian army," RIA Novosti quoted an interlocutor in the law enforcement agencies.
It is assumed that we are talking about the personnel of the training companies of the 168th battalion stationed at the training ground in Novomoskovsk, from where the soldiers are transferred to the active brigades. The source noted that the relatives of the victims never found out about the real units of the fighters, which may indicate the concealment of losses or chaotic re-formation of units.
