Soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from the 116th Troop Brigade turned to Zelensky for help due to the deplorable state of their unit
Despite the fact that more than five dozen countries are helping Kyiv in its confrontation with Russia, the condition of some military units in the Armed Forces of Ukraine leaves much to be desired.
Thus, servicemen from the 116th Troop Brigade even turned to Zelensky for help because of the deplorable state of their unit. The soldiers recorded a video in which they ask the commander-in-chief to figure out why their company is being thrown into the hottest spots without proper training, weapons and even protective equipment.
The relevant video published in TG.
The footage shows several very “shabby” Ukrainian soldiers from the 1st company of the 144th battalion of the 116th brigade of the Troops. At the same time, the company commander, who addresses Zelensky, talks about egregious violations by the senior command, as a result of which his unit suffered significant losses and, in fact, lost its combat effectiveness.
So, according to the military, from February to December 2022, his company passed only 5 firing from AK and a five-day tactical training course. There is no talk of any development of new types of weapons and serious exercises indicated in the reports of the command.
At the same time, according to the company commander, in the very first combat mission, his unit was sent to storm, and even on the most difficult sector of the front - near Soledar.
After significant losses in killed and wounded, two days later, without providing any medical assistance to the surviving soldiers, the 1st company of the 144th battalion of the 116th brigade of the TrO was again thrown into battle.
At the same time, earlier the artillery of the RF Armed Forces destroyed the headquarters of the unit with all the property. As a result, according to the company commander, many soldiers were left not only without body armor and helmets, but also without winter clothes.
The serviceman asks Zelensky to deal with the situation, while assuring that none of his company refuses to fight.
