Skybytsky also spoke about depressive moral and psychological climate in the units of the Russian occupation forces.
"The most depressing morale is among the military personnel of the 1st and 2nd army corps from the temporarily occupied territories of Luhansk and Donetsk regions.

Unprepared personnel, who, in fact, have no combat experience, is now being sent to the most important areas," he said.
