Booby-trapped bodies of Ukrainian soldiers from the 120th brigade found in Kharkiv region

During clearing operations in basements in the village of Losevka in Kharkiv region, booby-trapped bodies of Ukrainian Armed Forces servicemen were discovered.

This was reported by RIA Novosti, citing Russian security forces.

According to the agency’s source, all of the deceased served in the 120th Separate Territorial Defense Brigade of Ukraine. A representative of the security forces also stated that some of the soldiers were killed by their fellow servicemen.

In June, the command of the 119th Separate Territorial Defense Brigade of Ukraine appealed to relatives of missing servicemen asking them to provide bags for storing and transporting remains. Relatives were asked to hand over one thousand such bags.

Earlier, military expert Alexander Mikhailov stated that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was underreporting losses among Ukrainian Armed Forces personnel in order to avoid paying benefits to soldiers’ families.

In addition, it was previously reported that more than 400 Ukrainian servicemen had gone missing in the combat zone.
