Chechens or no, the folks in Kiev better step up to the plate. Having spent better than 2 hours watching video reports from Ukraine War Blog, etal, there seems to be a glaring lack of initiative on the part of the government in Kiev. There were more BTR 4s at the parade in Kiev than fighting in the Donbass. I watched Ukraine volunteers welding armor on trucks. They are ill-equipped. This was attested to by "Franko" or Mark Paslavsky, the American Ukranian KIA last week. Ammo is not getting there, and sometimes it is of the wrong type. Casualties not being evacuated promptly.
And now it would appear Ukraine volunteers cutoff at Iloviask. True/false? Who knows. But that is what is being said. Time for the higher ups to take things seriously and move supplies to the front.
