DONETSK OBLAST, Ukraine — The ambulances hurtled into the parking lot one after the other, each carrying wounded troops directly from the nearby front line. One young man stared straight ahead, his face swollen, his neck and back dripping with blood. Others lay silently under foil blankets.
Some stumbled out the back doors and collapsed into wheelchairs as staff rushed to push them inside. Nearby, bloodied cots sat propped against a tent and other wounded soldiers lingered about, their faces grim, their heads, arms or legs bandaged as the sound of outgoing artillery boomed across the sky.
About 10 wounded soldiers arrived at this hospital in eastern Ukraine in less than an hour Sunday morning — the latest military casualties as Ukraine forces, outgunned by Russia in the country’s east, continue to lose territory at a critical moment in the war.
Soldiers also helped one civilian woman with leg wounds out of a military ambulance.
The Washington Post is withholding the name and precise location of the hospital out of concerns from staff that it could be targeted by Russian forces.
“Seventy people from my battalion were injured in the last week,” said a soldier and ambulance driver just outside the hospital gates who identified himself only as Vlad, 29. “I lost too many friends; it’s hard for me. I don’t know how many. ... It’s getting worse every day.”
The night before, he said, the shelling was so loud he hardly got any sleep. “It’s all artillery bombing down,” he said. “All the wounded are coming from shrapnel. Most guys in the trenches haven’t even seen the enemy face-to-face.”

“In a very real way, Soros is responsible “
He’s fronting for other global oligarchs.
George Soros intends to fight Russia to the last Ukrainian life!
Maybe BIDEN can go crawling to the Taliban to do what the US did in WW II for Britain.
Just retitle it....
“PLEASE SEND A GUN TO DEFEND A UKRAINIAN HOME!”
No fool, Russia and Putin are responsible for these deaths.
Stop playing in the moral fantasy land.
What a bunch of immoral anti American jerks.

Looks like they’ll have to hold out a bit longer as our replacement Stingers will be delivered in 2026.

And George Soros intends to fight Russia to the last Ukrainian life!
We’ve done more for them than we’ve done for our own border states.
“What a bunch of immoral anti American jerks.”
Who?
Is it your contention that failure to root for Ukraine is anti American?
That’s friggin’ laughable. Worthy of severe derision.
Hell, we just gave them $40 Billion not to mention about $10 Billion in various other military hardware over the last couple months, and that’s not even counting what other NATO members have given them. Russia entire annual military budget is only $69 Billion, so we’ve essentially given Ukraine what Russia spends on their entire military in a year, in one go. If they can’t win with that, I’m not sure what else they want at this point...
Need to keep them well armed, let them bleed the Russians down. Less threat to us.
That's what Ukraine means in Polish, Ukrainian and Russian: THE BORDERLAND.
“And the 98 M-777 tubes are likely not on the eastern front.”
Some probably made it to the front. But they seem to have a bit of a problem. Seems their Whiz-Bang artillery 155mm are next to useless without GPS. Seems that the we’re not fighting the Taliban in Ukraine, but rather a country that knows how to jam GPS signals.
No doubt the Starbucks-types in the Pentagon hadn’t considered that possibility.
But we’re not against Russia.
Clearly, Ronald, you are a close student of modern history.
It won’t surprise me when the nukes go off.
