Russians have huge losses in the fighting in eastern Ukraine - interrogation of a prisoner

This is told by a captive native of Lugansk, who was mobilized for the war from the ranks of the "LPR People's Militia".

In particular, he mentions Rubizhne, where 70% of his comrades fell in battles for one street. And the invaders could not take it for almost a month.

This is despite the fact that on the eastern sector of the front the enemy has a numerical advantage of at least 20 times.

“We were fighting for Lenin Street (now Vladimirskaya -ed.) for 3 weeks, maybe 4,” the prisoner admits. We advanced with such battles and losses that "during this time there was great destruction, great losses ... 70 percent of the company remained."

The Russians made up for their losses with mobilized recruits. And from Rubizhne, the brigade “reinforced” in this way was sent to Severodonetsk.

There, the Armed Forces of Ukraine met the invaders with heavy fire in the industrial area. This prompted the invaders to surrender in order to at least save their lives.

Currently, this and other prisoners from illegal armed groups are testifying to SBU investigators.
