Intel: Russia deploying soldiers with HIV on combat missions

This is revealed in an audio recording of a conversation published on the YouTube channel of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense (DIU), according to Ukrinform. It is noted that military intelligence specialists intercepted a conversation between a soldier from the Russian Army’s 1st Separate Motorized Rifle Brigade, which is operating in the Pokrovsk direction. “The occupier has an HIV infection, which, without the necessary medication, leads to complications. Moreover, back in February, a medical commission deemed him unfit for service, but this did not prevent him from being deployed on combat missions,” the DIU reported. The agency noted that this Russian soldier was even declared a deserter.
