[...recruits were lacking basic equipment such as sleeping bags and winter clothing.]
The 1st or 2nd man ahead of you will be carrying the sleeping bag and winter clothing. When he ceases to move, collect your winter gear. Be quick, it is easier to remove when he is still warm.

Milburn minces no words in confirming the catastrophic casualties the Ukrianian forces are suffering — 7 out of every ten soldiers are killed or wounded. It underscores the reality that the Russians are firing six artillery rounds for every one round fired by Ukraine.
Here is a Ukrainian unit confirming Col. Milburn’s assessment. They are not cowards. They are fed up with crappy leadership and indequate supplies:
“This is a message we are conveying to the command of the Airborne Troops and the command of the AFU from the 3rd Airmobile Company of the Separate Airmobile Battalion of the 25th Secheslav Airmobile Brigade.
We were sent on a combat mission to hold separate combat positions. We did not receive proper armament and artillery support. As a result, 70% of the company was killed or wounded. We did not have and do not have combat equipment and proper armament. We did not even have the equipment to evacuate the injured, due to which several wounded did not survive.
We spent more than a month in the trenches transmitting coordinates never fired upon by artillery. Platoon sergeants fled their positions in the first days and were transferred by Chief of Staff Kipinach, now acting battalion commander. We are demanding the transfer of the entire unit.”

You’ve been repeatedly saying since March that “Ukraine will be defeated in the next 2 weeks”.
That’s a change from your posts before 24 February 2022 when you asserted “Russia is not going to invade Ukraine, it’s a hoax”.
Forgive us for refusing to believe you when you persistently post false information
That was when the USSR was being invaded.
Here Russia is invading its neighbour.
And no American lend lease.
