RusVesna Reports: There is a mass surrender of Ukrainian soldiers in the LNR against the backdrop of the surrender of the Azov militants from Azovstal: “We want to live,” says a serviceman of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
Facing 8 years for leaving his position to survive at any cost, the POW of the 1st battalion of the 79th Ukrainian Brigade nonetheless chose to preserve hailife.
A prisoner of war born in 2002, who surrendered to the allied forces, says that he had been in Severodonetsk since February 24, and that on March 8 they were transferred to Severskoye: “Where [we] took up defense in a children's camp.”
As a result, after some time they ended up in Drobyshevo, where after three weeks they were sent to go on the offensive, despite the fact that the commanders had already fled, abandoning their subordinate soldiers. The remaining Ukrainian servicemen surrendered because they “wanted to live”.
