Ukrainian veteran: Offensive in the Donbass? This is ridiculous

29
Ukrainian units stationed in the Donbass are understaffed by 50 percent, the TV channel reports ZIK statement of the veteran of the military operation in the east of Ukraine Taras Kostanchuk.





So that everyone understands, the understaffing of the units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, located on the contact line and on the border with Russia, is 50 percent, said Kostanchuk on the air of the Vox Populi program.

He added that the understaffing concerns not only personnel, but also military equipment, as well as equipment.

What kind of liberation of Donbass, what kind of victory is it about?
noted the veteran.

According to him, Kiev is not actually preparing for liberation, he hopes for Western partners, including America, that they will continue to put pressure on Moscow. There will be no release until the Ukrainian authorities want it themselves, Kostanchuk added.

However, the “cowardly and cautious” Kiev has no political will, it is unable to return the territory of Donbass, he stated.

Recall, on Thursday, the Ukrainian unit made two attempts to attack the positions of the militia near Gorlovka. As a result, having lost at least 6 people killed and wounded, the security forces retreated.

The attempt by the Ukrainian Armed Forces to attack the 23 June line of defense of the DPR near Gorlovka was just as unsuccessful. During the clashes at least three security officials were killed, four more were injured.

        For eastern Ukrainians - the east.
        And for zapadentsev - the west.
        But among the Chinese, China is the center of the world.
        And around - barbarians.
        So we live in an interesting time and in an interesting place.

        It depends on which direction you turn your face. America is from us both in the west and in the east and in the north and south. The ball is round.

          I am calling my daughter-in-law:

          - Lena, where to go? Right left?

          - To the left.

          I was more likely to go 12 kilometers through some trenches. I feel, not something. I’m calling my brother:

          - Roma! Where did you go?

          - To the right.

          - Here you go, Lena. What is she? Was your back to the crossroads?

        It’s not necessary to be clever, “Western partners” is a name not from a part of the world, but from belonging to a specific camp of countries. Canada is also a "western" partner, but Mexico is no longer there.

        I wonder what rank and position held this "veteran"? Corporal - senior shooter? How he became a "veteran" immediately began to think like a generalissimo.

      Something like this ... They have "field strategists" as the gorillas will sort it out, and they will persecute the "predators" to accomplish, or the "predators" themselves will stomp and burst into minefields like a disco. As I understand it, most of the losses incurred by the Armed Forces of Ukraine on a blueprint occur there.

        Hi Dmitry.
        They are having this process for any reason, but mostly the LNR army suppresses. By the way, an interesting article about the DNR scarp:

        It seems that the experience of the Syrian “barmalei” has not passed the ears of the Donetsk people.

          Greetings Leo! Interesting information, but this is doubtful, since the soil in Syria and in the DPR is different in terms of the groundwater table, which implies the need to equip a not weak drainage system. Full of rollers where the trenches of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the spring and autumn are flooded knee-deep with water, and here ...... recourse

    You don’t need to write about nonsense, everything has already been written. But I still don’t understand the tactics of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. As it turns out, units of 8-10-12 fighters go on the attack, this is a failure in advance and casualties among the attackers.

    “cowardly and cautious” Kiev has no political will, it’s not able to return the territory of Donbass

    For me, just “cowardly and cautious Kiev” is aware that if it comes, it’s not a fact that the front line will shift to the East. It is quite possible, and most likely, she will "go" to the West, but where she will stop, here, as far as LDNR has enough will, well, Moscow’s support.

    the liberation of Donbass - from what?
    from the language they speak?
    and if they refuse - from the people themselves?
    Is this called liberation?
    And the crowds of marauders who robbed everything in the Donbass-they freed from property?
    It’s good when Ukrainian gunners shell cities, what do they liberate from?
