Quote: "I don’t know. It seems like they’re taking us to Russia to reorganise the troops. And then they’ll send us to Kherson… Yeah… So I’m thinking that if I manage to get to Russia, then I won’t be f**king coming back from there. I’ll try to run away to Pechenga [a village in Murmansk Oblast in Russia – ed.]. In other battalions people are let go as soon as their contract ends, but in this f**king 200th brigade nothing ever gets done. This is the most f**ked-up brigade…

We asked a battalion commander yesterday about resigning, and he said ‘Ask the company commander.’

Let them raise this issue and resolve it. There’s just no way I’m going to Kherson, they say it’s a hellhole there."
