As Kots said, he managed to communicate with the captured Ukrainian soldiers. And during the conversations he discovered an interesting detail: those who participated in the attack at the beginning turned out to be more prepared and motivated than those who entered the Kursk region later.
“They fought in the Zaporozhye, Toretsk, Artemovsk and Donetsk directions. They were usually taken prisoner after being wounded or when the combat mission was over,” the military correspondent said in an interview with KP.RU.
Now, according to him, what is most often found is “limp plasticine.” Many of the fighters were probably captured on the streets of Vinnitsa or Sumy just three weeks ago. And their first experience (and not the most successful) was near Kursk.
“And today they are given consolidation tasks. At the same time, there are no people around who can explain that not everything that explodes nearby kills you,” Kots stressed.
He added that only a competent commander can create the appearance of a defense against such a military, and when there is no such thing, it immediately weakens.
“It’s hard to defend yourself for the first time in your life when you have marines and paratroopers attacking you after two and a half years of fighting behind you,” the journalist concluded.
