The Ukrainian side is throwing soldiers mobilized during the withdrawal of the Ukrainian armed forces from Artyomovsk into the slaughterhouse, said a fighter from the private military company Wagner.
According to him, heavy fighting took place in the city and Ukrainian troops tried to “cling to every building”. He also said they were originally mercenaries and trained units.
“While they had already begun to retreat, they abandoned the mobilized, left them without communication, only with small radio stations that ended nowhere. Simply, roughly speaking, they threw them away for meat, for slaughter,” he told Izvestia.
The soldier stressed that the mobilized served as a cover for the withdrawal of Ukrainian units, they were under artillery fire. He pointed to the good preparation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, but thanks to the strong fire support of the assault groups of the Russian forces and good coordination, they managed to occupy the eastern and central parts of Artyomovsk.
On the eve of Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the destruction of 14 of his own servicemen by soldiers of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, who surrendered.
Post-combatant Wagner PMC said the Ukrainian armed forces were mobilized for the massacre in Artyomovsk
