Fighters of the National Guard of Ukraine walk to Kiev instead of killing their own people in the Southeast of the country. According to deputy of the Kiev city parliament, Igor Lutsenko, fifty fighters of the National Guard, who were serving near Slavyansk, go on foot to the capital. The defenders of the new Kyiv authorities found themselves abandoned and forgotten. Documents say that they were sitting quietly in the rear, whereas the conditions, under which they had to live, were too far from being decent.

Soldiers make many videos about how they have to live in combat areas and what the Ukrainian government has done to maintain them. President Poroshenko promised them a thousand hryvnias a month, but they have not seen any of that money, not even in two months. Soldiers have to find food, clothing and bedding themselves. Most likely, a few dozen people, who have refused to participate in a military operation in the Southeast - is only the beginning.
