According to Galinfo, the fighters explained that they had not received anything for two weeks.
“God willing, we have enough ammunition to hold out until the morning. Otherwise, we’ll soon be eating corn tops here,” the interlocutor said.
The publication is unable to contact the 72nd Brigade to determine the veracity of the message about help.
As Navigator reported, the fighters of these brigades - the 72nd, 79th and 24th - were surrounded. Relatives of soldiers blocked roads and demanded reinforcements for the soldiers. The militia said that the brigades had almost ceased to exist: the Kyiv authorities underestimated losses, and the commanders abandoned the soldiers to their fate.
