The commander of the aerial reconnaissance unit of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Vyacheslav Vorobyov, said that a resident of Artyomovsk (Bakhmut) in the DPR was delighted with him. He said this in an interview with the YouTube channel of the Ukrainian Radio NV.

The military said that at that time he did not have Ukrainian distinctive signs on his uniform. Earlier, one of the commanders of the Wagner PMC said that the Ukrainian army was using human shields from its military.
