The Russian military command redeployed the so-called "Z assault units" to Marinka instead of the two air assault units that were withdrawn for recovery.

"Instead, the so-called Z assault units came in... To date, following the principle of PMC Wagner, they’ve started to recruit people with a criminal record to assault units. A separate statute for these units clearly states that the wounded are not evacuated from the battlefield. Why? In order not to distract the personnel who are not wounded from the assault," Oleksiy Dmytrashkivskyi, Head of the Joint Press Center of the Defense Forces of Tavria direction, said during the national news telethon.

According to the received documents of the enemy, the Russian command gives two weeks at most for the preparation of Z assault companies.

"We received some documents, namely: ‘Regulations on Z Assault Companies" of the 8th Guards Combined Arms Army of the Russian Federation. It is clearly stated there that only 10-15 days are allotted for the preparation of these units. This is too little to prepare qualitatively for forming a team that will work coherently. But it is clear that Russia doesn't even keep records of the people killed in these units," the spokesman said.

According to intelligence data, Russian troops withdrew two air assault military units from Marinka district of Donetsk region for recovery.
