“I especially want to emphasize that we feel the support of the population in the liberated territories,” Zolotov told a stone-faced Putin.

(AP) The documents include an incident and a homicide report from the Military Investigation Department of the Russian Investigative Committee on the Black Sea Fleet regarding a June 19 incident in which three Russian servicemen were shot and killed and two others wounded in a fight with Federal Security Service officers (FSB), the KGB’s successor agency, in a bar in the city of Kherson, on the banks of the Dnieper River. The city is at the heart of a region that has been seized by Russian forces since late February and which Ukraine appeared yesterday to begin operations to retake. Details of this operation are difficult to obtain, as Kyiv has announced a blackout of ongoing military activities. However, videos posted on social media show a series of Ukrainian artillery strikes on military facilities, weapons and ammunition depots and key bridges continued over the past 24 hours. In response, Russian air defenses have been activated across the region. Kherson Stremousov, the Russian-appointed governor of Kherson, has fled the region and even recorded a video on Tuesday from a hotel in Voronezh, Russia. Meanwhile, there were even unconfirmed reports of shootings in Kherson’s Pivnichny and Tavriiske districts. The city of Kherson amid the ongoing Russian military operation in Ukraine.

Sergei Obukhov and lieutenant Igor Shudin “pass time idly, consuming alcoholic beverages,” according to the documents of the Investigative Committee. The story continues FSB officers remonstrated with conscripts for drinking while in uniform. Obukhov responded by removing his sidearm and firing bullets into the floor, the report said. Privalov tried to grab the gun, so Sudin began spraying the security guards with bullets from his AK-74 rifle, as Privalov and Yakubinski returned fire.

A fourth FSB officer, unidentified in the documents, fled the scene. Obukhov, 28, and Sudin, 31, both belonged to a Russian military unit known as the 8th Artillery Regiment of the Russian Black Sea Fleet. The exchange of fire, which is now the subject of a criminal case under the authority of VO Savchenko, an official of the Military Investigation Department, is the latest example of problems involving military discipline among Russian soldiers in the occupied territories of Ukraine. Reports of alcoholism among Russian soldiers have gripped Ukraine and morale has suffered as Putin’s war continues without achieving his primary goal of regime change. In Kherson, especially, the Russian occupiers have been the target of alleged Ukrainian rebel activities, including assassinations and patrol ambushes. Earlier this month, Sky News quoted a local Ukrainian journalist in Kherson who told the agency that on the outskirts of the city, Russian soldiers were marching in battle, “a bottle of alcohol in one hand, a machine gun in the other.” Copy of the report of the Military Investigative Department of the Russian Investigative Committee on the June 19 shooting incident.
