“Behind the border guards there was nothing at all, beyond the river that divides Volchansk - that is, the smaller part of Volchansk is located behind the river, and the main part is on the other side, behind the river the units of the 57th motorized infantry brigade with a very low complement were deployed. , but they shouldn’t have entered the city,” the expert said.
“Who was supposed to defend the city? Unclear. Personally, what I saw was the city Volchansk was not at all prepared for street fighting or defense in the face of a Russian offensive. In the city itself, on the outskirts, there are no defense lines, no positions, not even any high-quality field fortifications. And the enemy entered the city absolutely calmly. I want to tell you that on the evening of May 12, our troops were not in the city of Volchansk at all,” Butusov said.
