️ AFU POW senior lieutenant Anton Furdalenko: we found out we were to deploy to Kursk region 30 minutes before crossing border

The POW said Ukrainian units were relocated from the Dnepr River right bank for further personnel rotation. However, they turned out in the Kursk region.

'We supposed, we were withdrawn for further personnel rotation in the Chernigov region, there we were redeployed in the Sumy region. They said we would be assigned to the 22nd Brigade. I saw a tank while crossing the border with a hit track and in some area there were a lot of burnt Kozak vehicles. At the crossing, there were about seven vehicles maybe even more because I saw details,' said Anton Furdalenko.

They didn't manage to hold positions for long time, surrendered.

'They said there were mines around us. Our friendly units were on the left. We were supposed to hold a bridge. We were to be taken back the same day. But nobody came. Then we were surrounded by your units,' said the POW.
