Soldiers from the 1st Motor Rifle Regiment, part of elite Russian unit, 2nd Guards Tamanskaya Motor Rifle Division (Kalininets, Moscow region), were based in Izyum and massively asked their commander for dismissal on August 30th. Everyone there knew what's going to happen.

This regiment takes part in the invasion since the very beginning, and has tens of confirmed POWs and God knows how many KIAs.
Among those are 3 (!) platoon commanders and 2 deputy commanders. All of them are from anti-aircraft platoons. 2 of them are commander and his deputy from the same 4th platoon. Other guys are from the unit's anti-aircraft division too.
Nearly all reports contain "physical and mental fatigue" as a reason to leave "special military operation" area. No wonder - this unit (31135) is known for "unique practice of after-lunch nap for soldiers". (voinskayachast.net/suhoputnie-voy…) 
Important disclaimer: authenticity of these papers is not confirmed yet (we're working on it), several of them are written with the same hand (multiple reasons why it may still be real), but the journalist who posted them (he's serving in ZSU now) is a very credible source.
I showed these reports to my Ru mil source and he says they look pretty authentic to him: "It's alright, common practice in the army. Some clerk can sit down and write a report for many".
