The head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry, Kirill Budanov, said that currently the Russian armed forces have more prisoners of war than Ukrainian troops. He shared this information during a conversation with Western correspondents.

Budanov expressed the opinion that a significant difference in the number of prisoners of war, which is not in favor of the Ukrainian army, was caused by the first months of the special military operation of the Russian Federation . The head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry clarified that a large number of Ukrainian Armed Forces fighters were captured almost at the very beginning of the special operation.

Recall that another unit was formed on the territory of the DPR, made up of former Ukrainian prisoners of war who passed over to the side of Russia.

This information was shared by one of the unit commanders Andrei Tishchenko. Read more about this in the Public News Service material.
