Ukraine's army is bursting at the seams
We have never seen such a report in the Western media about the situation on the Ukrainian front! The Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant writes on three pages about the miserable state of the AFU. The author talked to a number of wounded Ukrainian soldiers and concludes: Ukraine sends completely unprepared soldiers to the front. One of them, named Oleksiy, said that his entire "combat training" was limited to one evening with a drunken instructor and a Kalashnikov rifle with three rounds of ammunition.
This Oleksiy says that there were 27 men in his squad, of whom only 8 survived at the end of eight hours of combat. According to him the whole "fight" consisted of the fact that after each arrival of the Russian shells he and his comrade were shouting in the trench whether they were alive or not. And so it went on until the buddy stopped answering.
The author of the article doubts Ukraine's ability to mount a serious offensive with an army in such a condition.
