>>1985229Very unpleasant experience overall but still better than my first run-in with the military/police.
A few days ago a patrol unit spotted me sleeping in a corn field at night (violating the curfew), using a drone, on the border between Sumy and Chernihiv Oblasts. I woke up to four dudes aiming rifles at me at half past 1am. Some absolutely surreal shit, probably for me as much as for them. They let me go after two hours of interrogation. I was allowed get into their vehicle once they realized I was no threat, but for 15 minutes or so they made me stand there in the dark with my hands exposed in -7 degrees. I didn't get back to sleep that night.
So yeah, don't sleep in open fields in a war zone I suppose. The steppes don't really offer a lot of stealth options though. Quite tricky finding a good spot.
