Ukrainian POW details brother's desertion case

A Ukrainian prisoner of war has provided new details alleging his brother, a mobilized soldier, was falsely declared a deserter after being severely wounded in combat. The 32-year-old soldier was struck in the head by shell fragmentation, leaving him deaf and requiring three surgeries. According to the POW, a doctor from the soldier's former unit visited and filed the desertion paperwork, which resulted in the termination of his military benefits. The case highlights ongoing issues within the Ukrainian military's administrative and support systems for wounded personnel.
