Ukrainian serviceman: Soldiers of the 30th brigade, which arrived near Bakhmut, simply run away at the sight of the enemy, since they have nothing to shoot with
Military Review ^ | 2/7/23 | Editor

Posted on 02/07/2023 9:34:05 AM PST by JonPreston

In contrast to the uplifting statements of the top Ukrainian leadership and Yermak's publications about the "task to reach the borders of 1991 by military means", the Ukrainian military personnel stationed in Bakhmut (Artyomovsk) are sounding a real alarm. The statement of the former deputy of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, and now an officer of the 72nd brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Igor Lutsenko is published on the network. This statement attracts special attention, since it (as Lutsenko himself writes) is firsthand, from Ukrainian soldiers stationed in Bakhmut:

"The 30th brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine near Bakhmut has no ammunition. This brigade, which was sent to us for reinforcement, is throwing weapon at the sight of the enemy and simply runs away from positions."

Still waiting for you to post those rules.

Colonel MacGregor (retired) has consistently said for about a month now that the Russians have approx 8 - 10 times the quantity of guns and ammo vs the Ukrainians.

Can you blame them? I saw a video the other day of a Ukrainian officer being interviewed and he was asked about those being sent to the front lines. He said the untrained troops being sent there only last for an average of 4 hours before being killed. It’s disgusting they keep throwing their young people into this mess to die for nothing.

The source is as much propaganda as the stuff posted from The Telegraph.

It’s important to read it all. But just understand what it is, and where it comes from.

Yes, he also has said the population of Ukraine has lost nearly 10 million people, down to 22 million (+/-). The Neocons have destroyed yet another country.

If they were running away, you’d think Russia could finally take Bakhmut.

I fear it will continue down to the last handful of men. The Pentagon supposedly advised withdraw from Bakhmut but Zelensky’s handlers want him to stay. The Ukraine may be missing a few generations of men as there’s stories of aggressive physical conscription after taking men to the age of at least 55.

You should volunteer to shoot them. Soldiers are running away, and I can't blame them!

I believe the photo is real. It seems something NATO would be proud of.
