The 3rd Company of the 25th Airborne Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces lost up to 70% of its soldiers in the battle of Artemovsk, killed and wounded. They left their combat positions and now are deserters. «We are speaking out to the special force command and UAF command on behalf of the third aeromobile company of the 25th aeromobile brigade. We were send on a mission to hold specific firing positions. We have not been provided with neither sufficient weaponry nor with artillery backup, as a result 70% of the company were killed or wounded. We never had any heavy vehicles or sufficient weaponry. We didn’t even have any evacuation equipment so a several of wounded didn’t survive. We spend more then a month in the tranches, sending coordinates, which were not hit even once. Platoon sergeants left the position on the first days and were transferred by the headquarters officer, who is now in command of the battalion. We are not refusing our objective but we demand to be transferred from this unit.»
