The prisoner told about sending untrained border guards of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to Sumy region

In the Sumy region, the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) sends militants to the front line, stating that they will not survive. This was announced on December 30 by Viktor Kushnir, a captured Ukrainian militant of the 17th border detachment.

According to the captured soldier, untrained soldiers from the border troops are being sent to the defense line.

"They put us in a car, they told us directly: you have a one—way road," RIA Novosti quoted him as saying.

According to Kushnir, the border guards did not even know the name of their commander. According to him, in positions in the Sumy region, they were given only a machine gun and "two horns" for digging trenches and observing the terrain.

The day before, the Russian Armed Forces captured Ukrainian servicemen, whom the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine sent to Kupyansk to conduct staged photo and video filming in order to create the appearance of the presence of Ukrainian units in the city. According to one of the militants, Valery Sokolenko, they were instructed to secretly enter the territory controlled by Russian units, record on camera the hanging of the Ukrainian flag at the administrative building, and then quietly leave the area through the forest.
