“In June, when we arrived, there were about 320 of us, but now only 60 people came out,” the fighter said. “The fate of 100 people in Ilovaisk is unknown.”
Answering a question from a PolitNavigator correspondent, Tsybko admitted that the remnants of the battalion also left Mariupol and were withdrawn for reorganization.
“There is a real war going on,” the fighter stated. - Thousands just lie there. It seems that the regular troops responded, six battalions were closed... It turns out that people who can return from the war are no longer needed by Ukraine.”
