️ Captured Ukrainian serviceman: ’Most don’t want to fight and try to run away whenever possible’

️ Captured Ukrainian serviceman: ’Most don’t want to fight and try to run away whenever possible’ POW Nikolay Tyagon was drafted by employees of the Ukrainian enlistment office. He, like hundreds of Ukrainian men, was caught on the street and taken to the enlistment office to undergo a medical examination. Tyagon was luckier than other recruits. Before he got sent to the front line, he had been digging trenches and firing an assault rifle for a month in a training unit. As he said, the situation on the front lines is a difficult one for the AFU as there is a shortage of personnel and most men don’t want to fight and try to run away whenever possible. Nikolay Tyagon was taken prisoner by Russian servicemen. He and his comrades were sent to guard a facility near the line of contact. They surrendered without any resistance because they saw no point in dying for nothing. Russian Defence Ministry Source: MoD Russia
