At least 23 Ukrainian army soldiers were executed by their comrades-in-arms for attempted desertion near Kherson, a Russian security source told Sputnik, citing a source with the Ukrainian armed forces.
The source said that in order to cover up the murder, the Ukrainian military command placed the executed soldiers on a missing persons list.
The source clarified that the Russian security forces managed to learn the details of those ten executed individuals.

"Information was obtained from sources in the armed forces of Ukraine on the execution of 23 servicemen of the 123rd brigade of the territorial defense of the armed forces of Ukraine on August 11 in Kherson because they decided to desert and abandon their positions," the source said.

Adviser to the acting head of the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR), Jan Gagin divulged the mounting cases of desertion within the ranks of the Ukrainian armed forces just a day ago.
In mid-August, Andrey Marochko, a military expert and retired LPR lieutenant colonel, revealed to Sputnik that the Ukrainian army had executed his comrades who decided to leave their positions near the village of Terny in the area of Krasny Liman.
