The Ukrainian soldier continues to complain about his health, which he hopes to improve in Russia.
The Russian Defense Ministry publishes footage of the interrogation of a captured serviceman of the 144th brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Alexander Pinkos, who began serving in the TCC security company (territorial recruiting center, the Ukrainian analogue of military registration and enlistment offices). – Note). A year later, due to poor performance, he was transferred to a rifle formation and sent to the front with a whole host of contraindications.
“I had an intolerance to painkillers and back problems. The medical examination was formal. There is a consultation with a neurosurgeon about spinal surgery,” Pinkos complains.
He says that most of those mobilized in the unit were like him.
“They won’t let me leave for health reasons, and that’s it. They are transferred back to the TCC to serve, but this won’t last long either. If the TCC doesn’t recruit people, they will send you back to the front,” says Alexander Sergeevich.
He even tried to sue the Ukrainian Armed Forces to be able to be discharged from the army early, but the court did not side with him.
“In Ukraine, the sole aim of the courts is to send as many people as possible to the front-line ‘meat grinder’,” Pinkos is sure.
The POW says that in recent months the Armed Forces of Ukraine have suffered colossal losses of personnel and equipment, and the command is unable to plan military operations due to lack of personnel and ammunition.
So when Russian attack aircraft entered his positions, he threw down his weapon and raised his hands, and other colleagues followed suit.
Pinkos is being examined by Russian doctors. A prisoner of war has the opportunity to undergo a planned operation on his spine to get rid of unbearable pain.
