Sputnik brings you a video in which a captured Ukrainian soldier recounts his first-hand experience with the gross negligence of the Ukrainian command.
“Our officers sent us to guaranteed death – the Urozhaynoye forest belt [Donetsk People’s Republic], where shelling, drone strikes, grenades, and air strikes are systematically carried out,” said Evgeny Pogrebnyak, a Ukrainian PoW.
He shared that he made the decision to go to the positions of the Russian forces and surrender after reading a note dropped by a Russian drone that said, “Soldier of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, surrender and we will guarantee your safety, otherwise you will be killed.”
Pogrebnyak noted the kind treatment he received from the Russian troops. He also spoke of the terrible situation in which the Ukrainian army currently finds itself.
“We don’t have the resources to fight, no one wants to fight, there’s no mood to fight,” he said.
