Army says Odesa region "stuffed" with Russian saboteurs

The Ukrainian forces defending Odesa region say that the area is "stuffed" with subversive elements who provide assistance to Russian invaders, including passing tips on the movement and deployment of the Ukrainian troops, photographing the area, launching drones, and more.

This was stated on Facebook by the Knights of the Winter Campaign 28th Separate Mechanized Brigade, Ukrinform reports.

"The City of Odesa and the entire Odesa region are stuffed with subversive elements that either help the invaders or work directly for them. They transmit data on the movement and deployment of troops, do the spot marking, set lighting signals, launch drones in unauthorized locations, and take pictures to pass all information to the enemy," the statement said.
