According to Dybits, the military had no way to hide from Russian drones. His fellow soldiers froze their hands and feet and were injured, not counting those who were buried in mines with no chance of survival.

Earlier, ex-adviser to the head of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Yuriy Butusov, said that the Ukrainian army has serious problems due to lies in the reports of the Ukrainian Armed Forces generals.

According to the head of the Russian Ministry of Defense Sergei Shoigu, the losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in January exceeded 23 thousand people killed and wounded.
