Russian "GREY ZONE" channel reacts to the recent losses of the 40th and 155th Naval Infantry Brigades (+14th Separate Spetsnaz Brigade) in the vicinity of Vuhledar, mentioning that a "f*ck-up" is underway there.

Import them from India & china. Both have surplus doctors, pharmaceuticals, medical techs. Major chunk of world’s people live in those 2 countries.
