“So, since May 19, for a month of fighting, the 14th mechanized brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine alone has lost more than 2,100 people killed and wounded. Due to the low moral and psychological state of 800 people intended to make up for the losses of this unit, they refused to go to the combat area, accusing the officers of incompetence, bribery and nepotism in the payment of monetary allowances, ”he added.
