Ukrainian Soldier Admitted Drunkenness During Combat Operation, Says Captured Trooper

Artem Sadovey, a captured soldier from the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU), said on November 28 that he had been sent to the line of combat contact with Russia during a special military operation for drunkenness. “I came to the service, the commanders found that I was drunk. <...> Then they sent him for treatment so that he wouldn’t drink anymore. An order came to the unit, and they gave me a list of people. We packed up for the exit and went,” said the prisoner. It is noted that Sadovey previously served as part of the 57th separate motorized infantry brigade. Subsequently, he was captured in Volchansk, Kharkiv region.
