The Ukrainian servicemen were ordered not to use the expressions "retreat" and "the enemy has penetrated our defense" in conversation with the press. This was stated by the journalist of Radio Liberty ❶❷ Vlasta Lazur.
"I recently talked to a military man from the Pokrovsky direction. He said: "You understand, we were ordered to use the words 'offensive', 'victory', 'going forward', 'knocking out the enemy' in our speech when contacting journalists, and I can't say the words 'retreat' or '[the enemy] is wedged into our defense'."… He replied to them: "Maybe I should say that we are advancing on the Dnieper (Dnepropetrovsk. — EADaily)?"," Lazur said.
This is how the military jokes with those who give them this kind of prison, the journalist explained.
