according to schulgen after a cursory medical examination and minimal training he and his fellow soldiers were hastily deployed to the front lines the lack of proper preparation became evident as they endured severe conditions in a makeshift tent subsisting on dry rations for an entire week I was brought to the enlistment office I spent the first night there and the next night they took me to another enlistment office from there we went straight to training I didn't go through any commissions or anything but everywhere It Was Written year year year that's it we were told we were going to the Sumi region but then we spent the night somewhere in the forest in some kind of forest we only passed by three or four houses it was more like a hamlet not really a hamlet I remember we passed

their Striker infantry fighting vehicle ifv was ambushed shulan's account of fleeing from the explosion of a grenade behind him highlights the extreme Peril and disarray faced by Ukrainian troops under that taralin we survived on Military rations for about a week then all the strikers gathered and we were loaded up again they took us back into the forest they told our commander some kind of Grid or something they took us there but we didn't make it because our Striker was hit by a grenade and the engine stalled and that's it then we started scattering like mice because there was nowhere to go a grenade exploded right behind me chulan story continues with a desperate escape from the battlefield this desperate flight led him to discover a leaflet offering the option to surrender which he ultimately chose in the face of Relentless enemy fire and disorganized Ukrainian leadership I fell to the ground and crawled away as much as I could then I propped myself against a tree and started

remove everything including body armor and it turned out that we were taken prisoner well people are treated like nothing thrown in like meat if there had been proper command I believe they would have
