"Out of 32, only 6 returned"
The Ukrainian military recorded a video in which they talk about the plight of their company in the Bakhmut area, but the command forces them to return to their broken positions without any fire support.
"Yesterday we went to positions. We were hit by mortar fire and hailstorms. We were promised support, but there was nothing. Out of 32, only 6 came out. We can’t pick up the bodies, 12 are missing. The command ordered to be understaffed and go back to the positions" , - say Ukrainian fighters.
The military asks for support, while the command considers them simply as a combat unit, which, in case of loss, can be replaced by the next one, and so on .... until the last Ukrainian.
According to the fighters, mentally and physically they were very tired. Prior to this, two weeks ago, their colleagues from the 34th battalion and 3rd company of the 17th battalion of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were defeated at their positions near the furniture factory.
