Rhys Byrne, a foreign mercenary who fought on the side of Kyiv, called the Ukrainian counter-offensive horror and chaos. According to him, quoted by the British television channel Sky News, the units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine operate without cover.

“On the zero line is horror. It's horror... It's a massacre... There are dead people everywhere... The biggest problem we face when we go into the trenches is to step over all the corpses that are already there from the previous people who went in there.” Byrne noted.
