Compare and contrast the BBC and RT reports below to make your own minds up!
Whilst the BBC report what the U.S. corporate interest installed Ukraine Government and its media want you to hear, RT reports from the scene with statements from the soldiers.
BBC report: without any mention of the desertion of Ukrainian soldiers in the headline, coupled with meaningless photos and no regard for the overall situation leading up to them seeking refuge in Russia.

Stray troops
A group of Ukrainian soldiers is reported to have retreated into Russian territory because they ran out of ammunition during fighting with the separatists.
At one point during the fighting, soldiers of the 72nd motorised brigade split into two groups, the Ukrainian news agency Unian reports.
Then one of the groups ran out of ammunition and supplies, and some of their military vehicles on the battlefield were damaged, prompting them to flee across the border, a spokesman for the Ukrainian "anti-terrorist" operation in Donbass told the RBK-Ukraina news website.
RT report: with videos, relevant pictures and the 'whole story'.

“We were given an order to leave out positions and go to Russia trough a corridor. We were told it would be safe. Of course they, I would say, made us go fast from behind,” one of the soldiers, a BMP driver who would not reveal his name or even show his face on camera, said.
“It was so bad back there. Hot, and so many deaths and bad things,” another one, Dmitry, said. “Folks can rest here. They gave us a chance to wash, gave us new clothes. We are thankful.”
“We have been in those fields for more than six months and are very tired,” he added.
Another one, Yaroslav, said he wishes to go back to his family in Ukraine.
“I want to do something peaceful. My contract expired four months ago,” he explained.
