“My name is Ischenko Pavel Valeryevich, I’m from the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ 56th Brigade, the 23rd Battalion, maintenance number of the 1st Mortar Battery. I was deployed in the city of Mariupol, in the Illich plant. The command of the 36th Brigade gave an order to fire on both military and civilians. We refused to do that. Then, after a while, we received a command to disband the brigade, which meant – do whatever you want, get out as you like, no one cares about you. When I tried to escape, I was taken prisoner.”

“I, Ivan Sergeevich Trogan, 25th Airborne Brigade, 6th company, 3rd platoon. I surrendered in Malaya Kamyshevaha, where I lived for 15 days after its capture by the Russian military. Surrendered to Russian paratroopers. They behaved normally with me. I would like to say to all those who survived. Guys, drop your weapons, go back to your families. It’s not worth dying for. You are not military men, you are tractor drivers, combine operators, whatever you do. Go home.”

“I, Osach Nikolai Stepanovich, a soldier of the 24th Airmobile Brigade, 2nd Battalion, 4th Company. I voluntarily surrendered my weapons when found this flyer. I appeal to the soldiers who are fighting against the LNR: there are the same people here as we are, they want to live peacefully on their territory, without shelling. Think about it, think about it, don’t go to war with them. Why did I do this, because there are many bodies of Ukrainian soldiers lying on my post, on the road, they are already corrupting. No one is picking them up. The command doesn’t care at all. Draw conclusions, think about it. They are using us as live meat. They are plugging holes with us.”
