I don't doubt problems with untrained convicts, but to call Ukrainians “crack combat troops with high morale and lots of hard-earned experience” is an incredible stretch for six months with very little training of their own.
Crazy propaganda from both sides!
Who is ISW? Couldn’t figure it out even after reading the link.
My new entertainment is reading comments from people claiming Russia is winning, while the Russian military continues to destroy itself in Ukraine. Somewhere in hell Baghdad Bob is smiling.
The husband of my wife’s good friend from college was forced into the Ukrainian military. She left to Poland, but all men were kept in Ukraine.
These men are effectively conscripts—forced to fight.
Conscripts on both sides. That’s what the draft causes, too.
A conscript is anyone forced to fight in war.
Alko-mobiks pressed to the front with no training, no equipment and no commanding officers turn out to be nothing but meat for the grinder - who would have guessed?
I love these Ukie propaganda articles!
And even more than that, I love the breathless posting of these Ukie propaganda articles by Zeepers, who automatically believe every sentence !
