Zahar Lavrentiev, one of ‘Azov’ volunteer battalion servicemen, wrote in Facebook Aug. 25 that Russia’s 98th brigade of paratroopers is deploying to Mariupol.
Russia’s98th paratroopers moving on Mariupol now!
“Putin has started the open war. The 98th brigade is marching toward Mariupol now.
We’ve taken two paratroopers prisoners. They were sure they are on a military exercise.
In fact, they are starting WWIII.
Our battalion has not received any heavy weaponry so far,” the serviceman wrote.
I hear ya.
In the West, crickets!
OK, help me out here without agenda driven info. I have read quite a bit about what’s going on there lately from Freepers on both sides of the coin.
Is Kiev supporting their army properly with both weapons and supplies? Reason I ask is because there was a posted video of Ukraine fighters who were pretty beaten down, tired and pissed about lack of support.
Then I read some quotes from the US Ex Mil guy who volunteered to fight for Ukraine and he too was not happy with the support.
Is this logistic? Have bribes or fear caused this?
Is the Ukraine military in trouble now because many here on FR were stating that they were holding their own.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts (or others too).
