Ukrainian soldiers are receiving warnings that transferring after unauthorized absence from unit (AWOL) has become much harder. In some brigades, notices are circulating that the General Staff has changed the return from AWOL mechanism — troops can now return only to air assault forces or assault regiments.

One such message was forwarded to hromadske by a soldier from a Land Forces mechanized brigade.

Recently, Ukraine's 35th Separate Marine Brigade lost fighters in Russian missile strikes, according to an informed hromadske source.
