Volodymyr Borysenko, Mayor of Boryspil in Kyiv Oblast, discussed his service in the Ukrainian Armed Forces (AFU) in an interview with Ukrainian journalist and video blogger RaminaEshakzai on YouTube on Jan. 29
The growing fatigue of Ukrainian troops deployed to combat duty for more than a year is making a further major mobilization wave unavoidable, soldiers of the 10th Mountain Assault Brigade told Ukrainian journalist Ramina Eskhakzai on Jan. 29.
More than a month after his first assault operation near Bakhmut, 23-year-old soldier Oleksandr Mikulak still blames himself for not saving a comrade. Mikulak’s 15-man group, part of the 22nd Separate Mechanized Brigade, was able to clear the first Russian position thanks to powerful strikes by Ukrainian artillery. Underestimating the number of Russian troops positioned around the next target, Mikulak’s group nearly became encircled.
New photographs have revealed the hellish conditions and injuries faced by Ukrainian troops fighting Russian forces around the eastern city of Bakhmut.
