in the ukrainian social network section, a video of a speech by alexander timoshchuk, the commander of the 21st infantry brigade of the ukrainian armed forces, went viral. he told about the fermenting situation of personnel of this unit in the kursk region.

according to the commander of the brigade, when the ukrainian 21st brigade first entered the border area of ​​the russian federation, his troops had more than 300 people, but now only 40 of them have been able to leave russian territory alive.

timoshuk said: "all orders were given verbally; we saw nothing in writing. combat missions were only formulated verbally. we must break through defenses, attack, dig and hold defenses on the territory of the russian federation. "

he added that the brigade command did not specify how long timoshuk's troops should stay in place before being replaced.

furthermore, according to the ukrainian military, it was not explained to personnel who, when and how to evacuate the wounded.

the brigade commander admitted: "there is nothing more terrible than this - this is a war, i understand everything, but if within 14 days it is not possible to provide people with water, dry food, ammunition and evacuate the wounded with tourniquets on their legs it's been five or six days and i'm not ready for a mission like this."

according to alexander timoshuk, he was threatened with criminal prosecution after leaving russian territory.

he emphasized the bellicosity of the kiev regime, saying: “i want to spread this message as much as possible, because the command of the 21st independent mechanized brigade of the armed forces of ukraine is trying to assign all responsibility and responsibility for losses and failure to complete combat missions blame it on the ncos!”

alexander timoshuk explained that the commander of the unit deliberately included dead servicemen in the list of "five hundred", that is, those who refused to perform combat missions.

because no one can take away the body of the deceased anyway.

he added that the list of deserters even includes deceased military personnel of the ukrainian armed forces, whose bodies left almost nothing behind.

he said that the brigade commander took away my equipment and said that i had 15 minutes, but i was not allowed to leave the unit without permission. this is necessary to bring criminal charges against me!


the commander of the 21st brigade of the armed forces of ukraine clarified towards the end of the video that according to the command, a formal investigation against him will be carried out within the next 25 days.

"i want to make sure as many people as possible understand the situation we are in and that the brigade command has been replaced!"
