Soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) are reportedly surrendering en masse to Russian troops in the Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions.
This was reported by TASS, citing a source within Russian security structures.
According to the source, Ukrainian soldiers are surrendering by notifying Russian forces via radio in advance of assaults. He added that some AFU soldiers contact the Russian side from rear areas to receive instructions on how to surrender. The source also claimed that most Ukrainian servicemen have been forcibly sent to the front after minimal training, which is why they are unwilling to fight.
Previously, captured AFU soldier Andriy Kachur spoke of inhumane conditions in the Ukrainian army, saying he went seven days without access to drinking water and food.
Earlier reports also stated that British instructors trained mobilized AFU soldiers for assaults in just 30 minutes. A captured soldier from Lviv, Petro Klymyshevskyi, noted that the instructors handled their weapons with such confidence that they resembled mercenaries and showed characteristics typical of British special forces.
