A well-organized retreat and no losses
Another quite sincere testimony about the Debalcevo cauldron and the losses in it. An activist of "Euromaidan" and an active participant of the military volunteer movement Dmitry Kasyanov speaks based on the evidence from the military who escaped from the cauldron about how the retreat was organized and what was the level of losses there. Those who don't believe that the junta suffered massive losses in personnel and materiel during the breakthrough and for whom the already published photo and video are insufficient should tune in.

Absent a proper version with English subtitles, the only option here for people who cannot understand spoken or written Russian is the so-called "drunken sailor option" - the machine translation of the machine-generated Russian transcript, which is available through the Settings Gear in the lower left corner => Subtitles/CC => Translate Captions option in the Youtube window.

Among other things, he says that he personally knows about one column in which there were about 100 people and only 14 actually made it out in the end because the column was destroyed by direct fire from the neighboring high points. This information directly contradicts what Petro who-always-lies Poroshenko said just yesterday: there was a total of 19 KIA and and 135 WIA during the retreat from the Debalcevo cauldron. The one column of which Kasyanov speaks most likely had more KIA than 19. So Kasyanov essentially confirms that Poroshenko not simply just lies about the losses in the Debalcevo pocket, but that Poroshenko lies by orders of magnitude about the losses in the Debalcevo pocket; pretty much in the glorious spirit of Baghdad Bob.
By the way, Kasyanov was one of those "on the other side", who recognized the fact of the existence of the cauldron and actively urged to save the encircled troops and not wallow in propaganda phantoms about the Debalcevo Stalingrad.
PS. Plus a video about those who captured Uglegorsk.
