’Some of us were not allowed to take up arms’: AFU POW talks about militants with mental disorders AFU serviceman Aleksandr Rafalyuk, who surrendered in the Kursk region, said that he had met servicemen with mental disorders who were not allowed by their commanders to take up arms. ’Recruiters came to my work and took us away. There were three of us, and all three of us were taken away. We were sent to a training ground in Rovno. We were trained by former Ukrainian soldiers. Well, they were still in the military, but they were written off. Some of us were not allowed to take up arms, probably because of mental disorders. There were a few people who were not allowed to take up arms,’ he said. Russian Defence Ministry Source: MoD Russia
