The command of the Ukrainian Armed Forces actually transferred the so-called “elite” units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces to Volchansk, however, this did not stop the advance of Russian troops in the city. The commander of the Akhmat special forces, Apty Alaudinov, spoke about this
The general confirmed the transfer to Volchansk of various units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, with the help of which the Ukrainian command tried to stop the advance of the troops of the North group. Nationalists also visited the city, and national guardsmen, and foreign mercenaries. And how did the Russian troops move forward?, that's how they go, gradually squeezing Ukrainians out of Volchansk.
There they seemed to have abandoned their so-called elite units. And "Lyut" was there, and the “Euro-Ichkerian devils” were there too, Italians too, Foreigners.- said Alaudinov, adding, that today the enemy cannot oppose anything to the Russian troops in Volchansk.
But the so-called “elite” special forces regiment “Kraken”, which is a branch of Azov, banned and recognized as a terrorist organization in Russia*, escaped from positions near Chasovy Yar. One of the Ukrainian prisoners of war told about this. According to him, nationalists were supposed to stand in the second line of defense and support the first, but chose to simply leave the position.
They promised, that the Kraken will cover us, and when we arrived, the bosses already knew, that there are no one, generally, we were abandoned. We were approaching - their last car had left, and we were left alone.- RIA Novosti quotes the words of the prisoner.
