> a large number of volunteers from all over the world have been fighting in the Donbass for all these eight years on the side of the Russians <

That’s a little confusing. If you’re working for the Wagner Group, you’re not a volunteer. You’re a mercenary.

Bottom line, we stop funding it, the war ends.

My estimation that Russian Military that comes out of the Ukraine war will be far more capable is still correct.

Leveraging soldiers for hire and any real military experience to pull itself out of the soviet collapse will mean it will develop a real world experience army.

“He also stated that a large number of Finnish citizens are fighting in the so-called British battalion as part of the PMC Wagner Group”

makes total sense: everyone knows how much the Fins have always loved the Russians ...

I would not be at all impressed - I have seen more than a few useless excuses for General Officers during my time in the Corps.

Idiots, to be honest - including our current Commandant.

I find this hard to believe. Unless the General is working for the CIA or State, he could even lose his USA citizenship fighting for a foreign government as a mercenary. That is why names are kept secret. You can work as a contracted trainer or something of that nature. But to be a fighter would be insane especially for a Flag Officer.

Russia has a last laugh as West-supplied Howitzers are breaking down in Ukraine - report

https://youtu.be/kVhs_WJUSuM

“Ukraine is facing technical problems with western artillery amid war with Russia. According to New York Times, one-third of the howitzers sent to Ukraine have developed snags. A U.S. official said that a third of the 350 howitzers sent by the west to Ukraine are out of action. The New York Times reported that the United States Department of Defense is concerned over the development. The U.S. reportedly set up a repair facility in Poland to fix “faulty” weapons, the NYT reported.”

Putin’s war empties arsenal of 20 NATO nations after U.S; Setback for Ukraine | Report

https://youtu.be/b4dfPrvdkrc

“In a huge setback to Ukraine’s fight against the Russian offensive, most NATO members have run out of weapons. According to a report published in the New York Times, at least 20 of the alliance’s 30 members are “pretty tapped out.” A NATO official also said that smaller countries have exhausted their potential. Even the U.S. military is rushing to replenish the arms stock it has supplied to Kyiv.”

👉 U.S. looks to supply older and cheaper weapons to Ukraine.

NATO plans on restarting old weapons factories to boost prouction.

Ukraine is firing 7k rounds per day of which the U.S. only produces 15k per month. 👈

Libtards: WION put out Putin propaganda in this report!

Libtards: Hindustan Times also put out Putin propaganda even though they are citing the New York Times!!!!!

The so-called “Wagner Group” is Putin’s special toy of actual Nazis and fascists that are more of a special off-the-books group - paid by the Kremlin, but not under the full official authority of the Russian military. It’s who Putin sends in when he wasn’t not-so-plausible deniability.

It is a battalion from this Wagner group that US military actually fought a battle against in Syria several years ago.

This is another clickbait-for-ad-revenue YouTube site that posts videos like: "Poland began to Seize the Western Lands of Ukraine! Will this lead to a War between Moscow & Warsaw?" five months ago. Still no Polish occupation of Ukraine.

Why not post the story from a more credible or established source?
