Partisans with the ATESH movement, operating as part of the 30th Engineer-Sapper Regiment on the Kupyansk front, say they disabled an occupier transport vehicle by pouring sugar into its fuel tank, rendering the vehicle inoperable and sidelining it for lengthy repairs, the agency reported on October 15.
According to the partisan account, the truck was prepared to depart for a combat mission when its engine failed, and it could not leave its staging area. Drivers and technicians reportedly have been unable to identify the cause of the breakdown.

An ATESH operative framed the action as part of a wider campaign to degrade the occupiers’ ability to fight and to sap their morale.
“We continue systematic work aimed not only at reducing the enemy’s combat capability but also at undermining their fighting spirit. Every such action directly affects the occupier’s ability to continue their aggression,” the group said.
Earlier, reports emerged that Ukrainian partisans operating within the Russian military helped prevent a planned offensive near the town of Vovchansk in the Kharkiv region.
