“My friend died last year.

He was listed as "missing".

They didn’t want to fool around with him, and his parents still haven’t been paid anything, ”he said, his words are quoted by RIA Novosti.

Tarasyuk noted that often the bodies are not evacuated from the battlefield, including due to being recorded in the “missing” category.

“As for the dead… We have a very large number of them, and no one is taking them away yet.

When the artillery is still working out and naturally hits the corpses, then nothing remains of them, ”said the prisoner.

Tarasyuk also stated that Kyiv left only the junior command staff in Artyomovsk (Bakhmut), the rest of the command moved to the rear areas.
