“We were thrown into the forest line, they told us to dig in. We had three shovels for the battalion, there was no equipment or means at all. We dug in as we could, and in the morning shelling began - artillery, Grads, mortars, UAVs. We were simply shot. When it all started, the officers immediately ran away. In between shelling, we tried to dig in, but the drones immediately spotted us and they simply shot us. Of the 570 people, as many as 29 survived, 12 more were injured, and the rest are dead,” said Agafonov.Zlata, the wife of another soldier from that battalion said that "there are definitely more than a half dead." So far Ukrainian officials didn't confirm this information. At the same time, Russian daily losses in Ukrainian official daily reports increased three times in October compared to June-August.
