These stories sound good but they do nothing to change what's happening on the battlefield. From what I've been seeing in videos Ukraine urgently need mine clearing vehicles and equipment. Russian minefields are maiming and killing so many Ukrainians. I don't blame the Ukrainian soldiers who don't want to be sent to their death in a Russian minefield. Where are all the mine clearing vehicles? It's not like Ukraine and nato didn't know they would have to breach Russian minefields. Maybe the money and mine clearing equipment went to the black hole of corruption and kickbacks. I keep hearing stories of soldiers never being paid and commanders collecting the benefits of dead soldiers. Those are great morale boosters.

Any -- pro-Z, pro-P or "not my circus" -- who would say that "the black hole of corruption and kickbacks" are not happening and do not exist are beyond naive.

Or they are somehow invested in entities which profit from "the black hole of corruption and kickbacks." By which, at the minimum, I mean some in and surrounding the Biden administration.

They received mine clearing vehicles. In videos last month, you’d see the mine clearing vehicle in front, with other military vehicles behind it in a column. The Russians would strike the mine clearing vehicle and disable it, then the vehicle in the rear. The whole column was then stuck in the middle of a very deep minefield. It was brutal.
