DONETSK OBLAST – Just days before heading back to fight in the Battle of Bakhmut, a Ukrainian soldier Volodymyr, 54, said he felt ill-prepared.
"When they drive us to Bakhmut, I already know I'm being sent to death," Volodymyr told the Kyiv Independent during his brief stay in Kramatorsk, a city in Donetsk Oblast some 25 kilometers west of the front line.
Volodymyr, an infantryman from the 93rd Mechanized Brigade, said he struggled to eat after fighting in Bakhmut for months. He looked shaken as he talked.
For two months, Volodymyr's unit was tasked with guarding Bakhmut against small Russian assault groups creeping into the city. The brigade was constantly under mortar fire as soldiers were outdoors where shrapnels could wound or kill them at any moment.
"(The Russians) keep firing at us, but we don't have artillery – so we have nothing to attack them back with," Volodymyr said. "I don't know if I will return or not. We are just getting killed."

Is that why Ukraine broke Minsk?
You are a smart man. I salute you.
“When they drive us to Bakhmut, I already know I’m being sent to death”
Nazis were also executed after WW2.
Bkmk
“There was a peace deal worked out a year ago and Biden sent Boris Johnson over there to kill it.”
Authoritative link, please.
I don’t support the Russians either. I understand why Ukraine got invaded, but I don’t like any of it.
“Why the criticism of the Ukrainians defending themselves but none of the Russians invading? It gives the impression of supporting Russian aggression under the pretense of moral indignation.”
That sums it up pretty well.
The Ukraine is a Merc army.
“Is that why Ukraine broke Minsk?”
Everyone broke Minsk. It was deemed unworkable before the ink dried.
Yet another lie from a well-known liar.

It’s all crap. I don’t want to get drawn into this either.

German ex-Chancellor Angela Merkel reveals that in 2014, the Minsk agreements aimed to give Ukraine time to get stronger and for NATO to increase its support to the country in the face of Russia.

because it could all been avoided 1 month before the war started with the simple agreement of Ukraine not joining Nato, and stop shelling Donbas. Also keeping to the Minsk 2014 agreement........or have you FORGOT all about that?
