Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, saw a large gathering of families of fallen Ukrainian soldiers protesting. Representatives of soldiers from various Ukrainian battalions used loudspeakers on-site to accuse the internal scandals within each of the battalions.
The scandals revealed by the families of the fallen soldiers mainly include: the 95th, 117th, and 118th battalions refused to evacuate the wounded from lost positions, forcing soldiers to surrender; the 116th battalion killed its own soldiers and faked it as suicide; the 57th battalion imprisoned soldiers in holes and subjected them to beatings and abuse; the 225th and 425th battalions allowed soldiers to only call their families once a week under surveillance, and untrained new soldiers were directly sent to the front lines; officers of the 23rd battalion stole property of soldiers listed as missing, and were not allowed to evacuate from lost positions; the 39th battalion pressured the relatives of soldiers to prevent them from submitting complaint reports to the command; the 59th battalion charged 300 dollars to the relatives of the injured to withdraw from the battlefield.
