As the revelations spread, military authorities moved quickly to remove the regional commander and contain the fallout.<\/p>\n<p>On the 24th (local time), the British daily The Guardian reported that the case came to light when Anastasiya Silchuk, the wife of a soldier in the 14th Independent Mechanized Brigade, posted photos of her husband and his comrades on the social platform Threads. The images show exposed ribs and markedly emaciated arms and legs.<\/p>\n<p>Silchuk said the unit had been stationed at an Oskil River position near Kupiansk in northeastern Ukraine for 8 months. Her husband, who weighed 80\u201390 kg (about 176\u2013198 lb) when deployed, had fallen to roughly 50 kg (about 110 lb). Families say the unit went as long as 17 days without food resupply, and that soldiers were surviving by melting rainwater and snow for drinking water.<\/p>\n<p>As the controversy widened, Ukraine\u2019s General Staff cited failures in supply management, replaced the regional commander and launched an investigation.<\/p>\n<p>The unit blamed the breakdown on a Russian blockade, saying Russian forces destroyed bridges and shot down resupply drones en masse, leaving the position geographically isolated and dependent on aerial resupply. A brigade spokesman said, \u201cRussian forces are prioritizing the disruption of logistics \u2014 food and ammunition \u2014 over striking military equipment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Following the public exposure and the military\u2019s response, conditions on the ground have reportedly improved. Silchuk said, \u201cFood deliveries resumed after the new commander took over.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Still, prolonged starvation has degraded the soldiers\u2019 physical condition, making it difficult for them to tolerate normal rations. The Ukrainian military plans to push additional supplies and, when weather and operational conditions allow, provide medical care and evacuate affected troops.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ukrainian soldiers at the front line faced malnutrition after months without food and water, prompting investigations and leadership
