Vladimir Solovyov, on the air of Sunday Evening on the Russia 1 TV channel, spoke about the combat work of one of the regiments of the legendary 20th Guards Combined Arms Army, which has been performing tasks in the special operation zone since the first days.

20:45 In Ukrainian social networksappearsmore and more mournful posts about the “heroes of the ATO”, who from the first day participated in the punitive operation against the Donbass, but after arriving in Bakhmut and fire contact with the “Wagnerites” very quickly turned into KIAs. Neither the experience of killing civilians, nor the awards issued by the Kyiv regime helps.

That is, we are no longer talking about "mobiks" caught in Odessa and from the very beginning recorded in the category of "cannon fodder," but about seasoned, motivated militants who hate Russians.

Given that the combat effectiveness of the units formed by Kiev largely depends on the percentage of such characters, their mass disposal in Bakhmut is becoming an increasingly serious problem for the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with far-reaching consequences.
