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.

Infantrymen from the 92nd Assault Brigade endured 12 days of encirclement in the Pokrovsk sector, eliminating around 10 Russian troops, with two soldiers experiencing their first combat mission after joining the Ukrainian Armed Forces under contract, according to the brigade’s statement.
