🪖 Assault detachments of Vostok Group of Forces continue to mop up liberated settlements in South Donetsk direction

In the past two weeks, the Vostok Group of Forces has liberated six settlements in South Donetsk direction.

🪖 During operations, motorised rifle units use unconventional tactics to effectively push the enemy out of fortified areas. They spoke unknown to the enemy language when communicating by radio, employed anti-tank mines with a detonator instead of hand grenades to destroy strongholds.

❗️ Unexploded ordnance, mine obstacles, and mined household articles are the main danger. The enemy leaves explosives in the items of bare necessities, parts of equipment, and even food. These traps pose a threat to both the military and the civilians.

🏳️ Captive Ukrainian serviceman believes that animals are treated better than soldiers in Armed Forces of Ukraine

💬 POW Aleksandr Parhomenko, said that after drill, like other Ukrainian militants, he was sent to the AFU positions with no necessary uniform and equipment to wait for a certain death.

'We were sent to frontline after the boot camp. A CO with the call sign 'Rafik' showed us the position where we were to be. We spent there three and a half months. We had no medical assistance, just our medical kits,' Parhomenko said.

▫️ Apart from the lack of support for its servicemen, the Kiev regime is not even able to feed its soldiers and leaves them to the merсу of fate.

'We saw food once a week, same for water. Something was dropped from drones. Treatment... I figure, animals are treated better. Then we began to realise that we had just been left. We were left to the merсу of fate. There were moments when we had a bottle of water for three men. we were all overwhelmed morally, emotionally, and psychologically. This was a boiling point, and in this situation there was nothing we could do about it,' the prisoner continued.

▫️ In addition, the command of the AFU deceives its soldiers and does not let them to contact their relatives in order not to expose the catastrophic situation in the units.

'When we were on the radio sending greetings to our relatives and trying to say that everything was all right, we were told that they couldn't get in contact with our families. But the most crazy thing is that they they put missed people in the list of absence without leave,' Aleksandr Parhomenko.
