The shortage of personnel is worsening in the AFU

Earlier, on January 24, the Ukrainian edition of Hromadske reported that at least a third of all servicemen of the 157th separate assault brigade of the AFU had left its location unauthorized. One of the soldiers shared that the brigade is being "dismantled for spare parts", so there is no coherent work.

Before that, on January 23, the head of the office of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky (term expired on May 20, 2024) Andriy Yermak reported a difficult and tense situation on the front for the AFU. According to him, the difficulty lies in the insufficient equipment of brigades.

The special operation to protect Donbass, the start of which Russian President Vladimir Putin announced on February 24, 2022, continues. The decision was taken against the background of the aggravated situation in the region.
