“Kyiv said to hold on.
Hold on.
That the deblocking detachments are coming, you will have them, ”he said.
Baranyuk noted that while Kyiv officials were publicly declaring the impossibility of saving the Ukrainian military, they were telling the Ukrainian Armed Forces themselves that "deblocking units are coming."
“Well, we were told differently.
That the deblocking detachments are coming, you will have them, ”he pointed out.
The colonel, answering a question, added that they were simply lied to, in connection with which they made an attempt to break through, which failed completely.
“Well, it turns out that it is.
They promised some help.
Accordingly, this assistance was not available.
Which, as it were, prompted them to go out towards their units, ”he emphasized.
Baranyuk also noted that, in the end, the morale of the fighters fell sharply and it was “hard” for them.
