They are grabbing kids off the streets in Lvov and the west, giving them a partial uniform and a gun, and sending them East. No training at all.

The problems in the Ukrainian Army are becoming glaring, especially with well over 100+ surrenders alone in the last three days. This is why they are depending more and more on Aviation to solve the problem.

This article just touches at the problems:

I believe the ‘Kiev Government’ wants Russia to get miffed enough to put it's army fully into Ukraine to force the US to act militarily because they cannot retain or maintain their own military even with the help of tanks etc...they simply do not have the strategic planners to do that for them...or themselves sufficient to cover the area...and
Remember early on the military commander said in the only about 20% of their men were combat ready.

I think these kids and parents/families are unwilling to fight the East because they've figured out it's really ‘for the Oligarchs’ who got them in the place they're in in the first place....Why would they die for them?

I did read a few articles about how Keiv Gov. is failing the military badly and how so many are deserting...even some of the parents have come after them....

I agree they're resorting to air strikes because they cannot achieve “an army” any longer......so who is leading these air strikes? I believe the US is because without the East the only thing Ukraine has to offer is their farmland...and the EU already signed that away.

When this is over Ukraine people will have signed away any hope for a future any time soon....did you see the lists of cuts...and also raise in costs these people are going to have to pay under the austerity.....50% hikes in many areas and overhaul of their services...even elimination of...as well as subsidies.

Google Hangout: “The Battle for Truth”

Atlantic Council....Wednesday, June 4, at 11 a.m. for an online only discussion with Viktoria Siumar, ‘Ukrainian National Security Council deputy’, on how her government is overcoming the Russian disinformation machine.

This is where the “feel good” Council members go when they are upset and scared....I can’t imagine Victoria if Ukraines Gov. doing more than continue with the lies, however might be interesting to see what questions arise and watch her squirm...if any even dare to ask!
