Captured AFU soldier Roman Levko said that there was a problem with evacuating wounded soldiers from the battlefield. He also said that his unit was constantly experiencing food shortages.
The Ukrainian Armed Forces’ losses are increased by the lack of medical evacuation of the wounded from their forward positions. This was told by a captured AFU fighter, a serviceman of the 81st Airmobile Brigade, Roman Levko. His words are quoted by TASS.
“Every day there was shelling: a lot of wounded, mostly there were seriously wounded. There was practically no evacuation. Those who did not survive with those wounds, we had to bury them there (on the front line) – that’s what the superiors said. They declared them missing there,” the prisoner of war said.
In addition, Levko said, his unit was constantly short of food. On hot days, he said, there were problems with water supply, and the soldiers lacked food and ammunition. According to him, the paratroopers of the 81st brigade of the AFU performed combat tasks on the contact line with Soviet-made weapons.
“Maybe some people had foreign weapons, but in our unit it was Soviet-made. <…> The mercenaries had foreign armament. They came with it themselves, they did not give it to us,” he reported.
