Since last summer, out of 130 servicemen in one company of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, about 80 people have remained in service. A Ukrainian prisoner of war spoke about this.

According to the prisoners, their commander abandoned his own unit in battle and escaped. Also, captured soldiers complained that their unit had suffered heavy losses over the past months, and there were not evacuated dead and wounded in their positions. Earlier, the Russian Ministry of Defense stated that more than 210 military personnel in the Donetsk direction had been lost.
