The Russian Armed Forces have created a so-called “underground city” in the Kherson area for the accommodation and recovery of Battlegroup Dnepr personnel.
The underground city has living quarters, a kitchen, canteen, bathhouse, gym, laundry room, dryer, clothing repair shop, and hairdresser, the Russian Ministry of Defense said.
According to the Defense Ministry, the shelters are spacious, equipped with stoves, external and internal communications, electricity, a central warning system, and water. There is also a classroom for the preparation and delivery of lectures on military disciplines.
The total length of the city's passageways and trenches is more than four kilometers, with a depth of more than four meters. The aim was to create conditions that would allow the soldiers to get away from the military routine for a while. After resting, units are sent back to the front line to carry out their duties.
