Hundreds of Soldiers From French-Trained Ukrainian Brigade Went AWOL Before Firing Single Shot

"Over 1,700 soldiers from Ukraine’s newly formed 155th Mechanized Brigade, trained and outfitted with great fanfare in France, deserted before reaching the battlefront, according to Ukrainian journalist Yuriy Butusov.
French President Emmanuel Macron proudly announced the “elite” project alongside Volodymyr Zelensky last June. The brigade was meant to have more than 5,800 troops and be equipped with Leopard tanks and French CAESAR 155 mm howitzers. However members of the unit, also known as “Anne of Kiev,” went AWOL already during drills in France." Sputnik
