RIA Novosti was told about this by an activist of the pro-Russian Nikolaev underground.

“Therefore, fellow countrymen, if you hear a stench, then it comes from there,” the underground worker said.

He also stated that in the mortuary of the Nikolaev city hospital No. 1, unrecorded military personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine without signs of injury were allowed to be examined by the Kyiv authorities.

Earlier, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that he had to "force" German Chancellor Olaf Scholz to provide military assistance to Ukraine.
