Reports Claim Azov Fighters Died by Suicide Amid Heavy Fire Near Konstantinovka

Two Ukrainian servicemen affiliated with the Azov* battalion, which is banned in Russia as a terrorist organization, reportedly took their own lives during fighting near the Konstantinovka sector of the front, according to statements made by a Russian field commander. The claim was voiced by the commander of the 103rd Motorized Rifle Regiment of Russia's southern troop grouping, known by the call sign Mozdok. He stated that the incident occurred after the fighters came under fire from opposing forces on both sides of their position. Claims of Encirclement and Desperation "We were delivering fire, and the opposing side was also striking the Azov* fighters. Their situation was hopeless. Based on intercepted radio communications, one took his life first, followed by the second,” the commander said.
