"We used to starve while bleeding out," this is how a prisoner of war from the 269th separate rifle battalion, Oleksandr Golovko, 42, of Horlivka, spoke about poor supplies to their unit, as well as how soldiers are forced to buy things from their senior officers," Sirskyi said.

The POW said mass bribery is flourishing among the Russian forces, as well as reported a large number of casualties, "hundreds of whom died at their positions due to poorly organized medevac and lack of medical supplies."
