In the occupied part of the Kherson region there was an exchange of fire between representatives of different ethnic groups of Russian forces - Chechens and Buriats (Mongols).
The news was reported by the Ukrainian media citing the intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.
"In the occupied Kiselyovka there was an exchange of fire between the Russian army of Chechen nationality and the Buriat. More than 50 participants from each side participated in the incident. "The exact number of injured and dead is not known," the statement said.
In particular, the causes of the interethnic conflict are the reluctance of the Mongols to commit hostilities and the "inequality" of conditions with the Chechens.
At the same time, another reason for the exchange of fire is the unequal distribution of the loot, because the main "profit" is taken by the Chechens.
Ukrainian intelligence also reports that due to the unwillingness to take part in the offensive, a conflict arose between the commanders and personnel of the units of the armed forces of the Russian Federation in Zaporozhye.
In particular, the Russians are complaining to locals about fraud during the signing of contracts and obtaining consent to take part in the war.
The towns and villages of the Kherson region have been under the control of Russian forces since the early days of the large-scale war.
