He also says they cannot sleep or eat in the trenches, and there are no provisions at all. 

Quote: "Guys leave every day… There are no provisions here, no food… If we hadn’t sent our passports home, we’d have got the f**k out of here."

Background: More than 20 Russian soldiers, some of whom had been serving sentences in Russian prisons, escaped from the Russian occupying army in Donetsk Oblast with their weapons, only to be killed by their own military.
