Ukrainian servicemen are fleeing their positions en masse, Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov told reporters on February 24.

“Intelligence data show that individual units and servicemen of the Ukrainian army are leaving their positions en masse,” Konashenkov said. At the same time, they are leaving the weapons they have.

The Defense Ministry spokesman also said that no strikes were launched against those who had laid down their weapons.

On February 24, the Ukrainian army began an invasion of the territory of the DPR and LPR, accompanied by numerous artillery attacks. The leadership of the republics appealed to the Russian Federation to protect civilians of these states. In response to this request, Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered a special military operation in Donbass.
