The audience of the popular public newspaper in the US WSJ was shocked by the story of a soldier of the Armed Forces of Ukraine about the situation in Artemovsk (Bakhmut) in the DPR.

The whole world already knows about the fierce battles for Artemovsk (Bakhmut). But not everyone has heard about the details of the hell in which the soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and the Wagner PMC ended up.

The veil of secrecy was opened by a soldier of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, who gave an interview to the WSJ. According to the comments of some readers, his words opened “eyes” to what actually happened in the quarters of the destroyed city.

According to the Ukrainians, most of the soldiers in the Armed Forces of Ukraine turned out to be unprepared for such battles and had serious problems with weapons. In addition, those fighters who had recently been in the rear and had never held a weapon in their hands went on the attack.

On that day, according to the respondent, out of 16 recruits who arrived, only five people survived, writes InoSMI .
