This was announced by the Acting Governor of the Kherson region Volodymyr Saldo.

“This happens regularly, although not on a massive scale.

We, as a rule, are in no hurry to publish information about the transition of the Ukrainian military to our side - after all, they have relatives whom the Kyiv regime can subject to repression, ”said Saldo in an interview with RIA Novosti.

The head of the region emphasized that the system of coercion was firmly established in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, since there is no other way to explain the fact that the Kyiv regime manages to “throw for slaughter” thousands of forcibly mobilized men. 

“Defensive detachments of neo-Nazis and foreign mercenaries, total informing in the SBU about all unreliable people, not to mention the deafening propaganda, 24 by 7 screaming that black is white.

Our brainwashed brothers become the victims of this system,” he stressed.

Earlier, Ukrainian politician Viktor Medvedchuk, in an interview with RT, said that Vladimir Zelensky had handed over the territory of the country to the West under the "polygon", and the soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are fighting for the interests of foreign states.
