This is the best summary I could come up with:
Russian troops who are working with a Ukrainian partisan group as double agents are killing their own soldiers in exchange for cash and the chance to live abroad, The Kyiv Post reported on Monday.
The partisan movement of Ukrainians and Crimean Tatars (ATESH) — an underground guerilla group fighting back against Russia within occupied territory — sent a Russian soldier to blow up two trucks at a military base in the occupied city of Henichesk, in Kherson Oblast last week, a spokesperson told the outlet.
The soldier, who was not named, put 10 kilograms of explosives between the trucks and then detonated them as troops were boarding the vehicles, the spokesperson said.
The operation took more than a month to plan and involved the Russian soldier gathering information about the location of the trucks and troops beforehand, they added.
The Russian soldier involved in the military base attack has since “successfully left” the area and “decisions are being made on their transfer to the territory controlled by Ukraine,” they added.
ATESH was created in September last year with the goal of carrying out acts of sabotage from within the ranks of the Russian army, The Guardian reported.
