Ukraine’s ‘Crioting’ from Russia
Defense Reporter
Artem CarkinUntil more than a week ago, Artm Krickin and his unit made a normal trip from the Ukraine to the town of Sudza in Russia.
He shows me a video taken on a mobile phone on their last trip, while Ukrainian forces have retreated from the Korsk region of Russia. It shows that they are passing through dozens of burnt military and civilian vehicles.
A soldier who is armed with armed guns, the last line of their defense, scans the horizon of Russian drones. From an unknown location, one flies to the back of their truck. The sparks fly, but they continue.
Artam says they were lucky to be lucky – the explosive accusation was not enough to stop them.
Another truck was closely less lucky. He was previously in the flames of the fire.
Artam acknowledges Ukraine’s retreat from Sudza, the largest Ukraine’s largest town in Korsk.
“It was very turmoil,” he tells me. “Many of the units remain in chaos. I think the problem was that the order of withdrawal was too late.
He says he didn’t help because the units worked without the right relationship. The Starlink satellite, which they normally rely on, did not work in Russia.
The 27-year-old soldier still considers the Korsk striker a broad successful success. Artam says it has forced Russia to withdraw its forces from the east. Most Ukrainian soldiers have been able to escape on time – even if it is for many people.
But he believes that the surprise of Ukraine into Russian territory, which began in August last year, was very deep and very narrow – relying on only one main road to strengthening needs and power.
While Artem and his men are fleeing their lives, US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke on the phone about trying to end the war. Artam says he will find the “noman”.
“For me, these calls between Trump and Putin are just surreal,” he said. “Trump wants to end the war because he has promised to do that – and Putin wants to deceive Trump to continue his war. I can’t take their talks seriously.
Artem, whose home in the Russian-Now, tells me he feels disappointed in the United States and Trump. “What can I feel when they just want to give my house?”
Artem CarkinArtam says he never thought Putin was ready to exchange any part of Russia for the occupied Ukraine territory. But he still thinks a knife attacker is important to protect his borders. Ukrainian soldiers may have been forced to retreat, but they still occupied high land within the Sumida border.
Ukraine continues to raid its borders – not only in the corner, but also Belgorod.
The Sirhiri attack battalion helps plan these attacks – finding a road to Russian mined fields and anti-tank barriers known as the “Dragon Dental”
We participated in a night mission to determine the location of armored vehicles that need to be repaired. It is the safest time to approach the Russian border.
Sirhy himself is not alien to Russia: he was born there. He now holds Belarusian citizenship, but chose the war for Ukraine. He justifies Ukrainian attacks in his former home. He says he says Russia has tried to create a glass area in Ukraine.
Sirhyi with his armored vehicle made in Ukraine is still at risk. We are now less than 10 km from the Russian border: silk bombs, missiles, artillery and drones with hot cameras.

Our original search near the Russian border for a Bradley armored vehicle built in the United States has been left behind when the intelligence company Serhy receives Russian drones working closely. Instead, he tries to find another broken Bradley where the dangers become smaller.
He and his driver are still forced to overcome the barriers on the way. Trees and branches have spread on their road – the remnants of a recent Russian air strike. We see several more explosives from a remote, for a short time to change the sky of the night.
Sirhy finally finds his broken Bradley. He was previously taken back from the battlefield and was loaded on a truck for repair.
Bradley’s commander confirms they fought in Russia. He is “severe, but we tell us.
BBC/Mattio GodardBradley is another reminder of Ukraine’s reliance on US military support. That now seems to be less confident about the importance of Trump’s peace talks. Serhyi says he is already knowing that “there is the back of Ukraine.
I ask Seriany whether the European peoples can fill any gap left by the United States. Is the European “Allion Alliance” that guarantees Ukraine’s security?
“I think if the United States does not help Ukraine, a ceasefire will be reached soon – but on very unfavorable conditions for Ukraine,” Serri said.
“Europe can clearly solve this conflict alone. They are not strong. Instead of thinking about security, they have focused on their own economies.
Sirhy says he wants the war to end. Like many Ukraines, he wants to see peace – but not at any cost.
