"Now vacations have been closed again since 25 September by order of the commander. Most likely because of these very same offensives."
33/ "If we fight like this, a lot of people will die … There were dead anti-aircraft gunners in my anti-tank platoon. Commanders don't want to waste time on training – they just take them and throw them into the breach without any consideration."
28/ Yashnikov was spotted by a drone that evening, which resulted in a mortar strike that injured him badly: "Shrapnel penetrated my sacrum. They took one [piece] out, but the other one's still in there. Now I can't have an MRI.
We stayed six days at the firing range, and then the order came again, sending us to hell for three days. The officers didn’t assign us any tasks. On the third day after our arrival, we went into battle.
24/ Only three weeks later, the regiment was sent to a new location elsewhere in the Luhansk region to support an assault by the 26th Tank Brigade. It was during this offensive that Yashnikov was injured on 25 August. He says "nobody told us anything" about their mission.
19/ The capture of Novoselivske was announced prematurely, probably due to false reporting by Russian commanders – a frequent problem for the Russian army, which has on some occasions led to repeated assaults with heavy casualties, in attempts to turn false claims into reality.
18/ … and then take you to the very worst [places], like Bakhmut or Yahidne [near Bakhmut]. My colleague told me how a friend of his was held there for two weeks, and beaten, but then returned to the regiment."
13/ "I very much doubt it. The sixth company was the reserve of the 27th Assault Brigade, and as I understand it, the commander of the second battalion was sorry to give up his men and he gave us, the new arrivals, up instead. There were only three men from his company.
10/ "So you start digging a trench, and grenades are dropped on you from above. How can you dig in in such an atmosphere?"
