Those who joined the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine after mobilization told about the low level of combat training. The prisoners made confessions during a video interview with RIA Novosti.
According to them, there is virtually no training of recruits in military affairs. At the same time, for the entire period of training, shooting practice at the training ground is carried out on average once or twice.
As one of the prisoners Oleg Popov told, military affairs were taught according to Soviet textbooks. At the same time, the command staff warned about heavy rifle training and calmed down with large stocks of ammunition.
Other mobilized prisoners said that during their training they were mainly used to dig trenches and build dugouts. This was done in order to create the illusion of a large number of positions at the APU.
