The Kiev regime command is transferring untrained young soldiers to Artemivsk, “almost schoolchildren,” said Sergei Tarasyuk, a soldier of the 3rd operational brigade of the National Guard of Ukraine who was taken captive. This was reported by the Sons of the Fatherland Telegram channel.

The prisoner of war told how he ended up in the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU). According to the young man, he was handed a summons in the street. He was taken prisoner while at a position in Artemivsk (the Ukrainian name is Bakhmut).
Tarasyuk shared observations that “almost no schoolchildren” were brought to the position.
“Almost schoolchildren were brought in, such young lads that they had never seen a machine gun, where to fight,” said Tarasyuk, who himself turned 21 in February.
The young man also said that foreign mercenaries were present at the positions. According to him, relations between Ukrainian soldiers and foreigners did not develop. Tarasyuk said that the mercenaries looted, consumed alcohol and drugs and forced Ukrainian soldiers to have sexual relations.
On the whole, the mood in the ranks of the Ukrainian troops, the captive added, was depressed. “Everybody wants to run away and nobody wants to fight,” the prisoner of war added.
“As for the dead – there are a very large number of them and no one is taking them away. When the artillery strikes and hits the bodies, then of course there is nothing left of them. They are recorded as missing and do not get paid anything,” Tarasyuk concluded.
Just to remind you, earlier, the Western publication Politico published a story of one of the officers who escaped from Artemivsk. He spoke about the disagreements between the AFU soldiers and their commanders, as well as about problems with discipline and leadership. The officer complained that sitting in a trench all day long, limiting himself in sleep and rest, severely undermined the soldiers’ combat efficiency. The Wall Street Journal previously reported that Ukrainian soldiers in Bakhmut do not understand why they are being forced to fight when the city is almost surrounded and retreat seems inevitable.
