The elite Ukrainian forces "Edelweiss" 10th Mountain Assault Brigade refused to carry out the task of holding and ran away! They actually ran away?!
Looking back at the glory of the German Third Reich's Wehrmacht First Mountain Infantry Division "Edelweiss", how glorious it was, blitzing Poland, breaking through Belgium, crossing the Aisne River and attacking France, entering Yugoslavia, fighting against the Soviet Union, quelling Greece, and fighting with Yugoslav partisans in a back-and-forth battle, never retreating.
However, the Ukrainian President also highly appreciated the fighting spirit of the German First Mountain Infantry Division "Edelweiss" and gave this "glory" to the "Aidar Battalion" and the "Donbas Nationalist Battalion", two loosely combined groups of fighters. These were merged into the Ukrainian 10th Mountain Assault Brigade, which received training in Germany and was equipped with German equipment (continuing the historical tradition, the Nazi forces still need the descendants of Nazis to train them).
However, when the Russian forces entered the northern Donetsky region, they fled first. After seeing the city of Severodonetsk in the Donetsky region being surrounded by Russian forces just one step away, they ran away! They just ran away so openly! They left their allies, the 54th and 81st brigades of the Ukrainian army, trapped in the encirclement. It is an insult to the high expectations of Ukrainian President Zelenskyy! It was even Zelenskyy who personally handed over the "Edelweiss" flag to them.
