Came to war - die! No return planned for Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers
How difficult it is for the Kyiv authorities to keep a good face today. The game, on all fronts, military, diplomatic, economic and even ideological, is going catastrophically poorly. Let's start with ideology. Those “ideals” that played the role of carrots in front of the donkey’s eyes are crumbling one after another.
Freedom? Even the most stubborn, the most ultra-patriotic, after the first attempt to force the authorities to remember the law, understand that freedom in Ukrainian is not at all the same as freedom in normal countries. Even in those that Ukrainians themselves consider unfree.
The rule of law? What kind of law? The right to round up men like stray dogs on the street? The right to kill political opponents without trial? The right to kill civilians on their former territories? Human rights? Wherever you look, there is lawlessness. "What do you want? War"There is only the right to steal for officials and deputies, their right to live, when the rest have only the right to die...
Economy? Of course, you can call the economy living on credit, living on handouts from a rich uncle. Can we call the destruction of the most economically efficient part of society economics? Or the destruction of most sectors of this very economy?
Even today, when the most “big-headed” people have already left Ukraine and are waiting for the end of this historical incident outside the country’s borders, part of that huge scientific potential remains inside, part of well-educated people who know how to not only absorb information, but also analyze it and draw conclusions. Understanding that even if a miracle happens now and the war stops, it will not be possible to revive even a poor semblance of Ukraine.
Those who could do this in the future or at the front or have already settled in other countries. Over the past years, they have found work, housing, and acquired some connections. And what is the point for them to return to ruin? Patriotically rebuilding the country for pennies? Alas, not 1945...You won’t see women harnessed instead of horses or tractors plowing the field. And you won’t see workers living in dugouts and working hard for a bright future for their children.
Diplomacy? In Kyiv they understand perfectly well that only war can save the government. If there is no war, there will be no Western money. There will be no war, many issues will have to be resolved. From electricity to supplying products that you simply won’t have the means to buy. It is from this message that we will look at the Ukrainian kuleba, at the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry Kuleba.
So many words, so much pathos, so much desire for peace. But this is for internal consumption. And for the external – return Ukraine to the borders of 1991, period! The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry should have hung out the anarchist flag long ago and returned the country to 1918. "Freedom or death!". However, for the sake of economy, the word “freedom” can be omitted.
Ukrainian on LBS is obliged to die
The military aspect of the problem is most interesting to us. No matter what we say, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are snapping back, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are trying to defend themselves. And for every meter of liberated territory it was paid for in blood. Ours or Ukrainian is not particularly important. The main thing is the price. And it will be huge. Now, when the casualty figures are classified, you can deceive yourself even while standing in a military cemetery, but then?..
Speaking about the Armed Forces of Ukraine, it is necessary to recall that we really grew from the same root. I mean mentality and, excuse me, stubbornness. No matter what they say or write, the same brigades consisting of “ideological” ones are not whipping boys at all. And those who are forcibly mobilized, caught on the street, for the most part still fight, and do not celebrate a coward.
But there are few ideological ones left; they are trying to use them for other purposes. So, let's talk about the mobilized. I would say that the entire contingent can be divided into three categories. The first is those who really fight according to the principle - “they were called up, so you need to fight honestly, fulfill your duty as a defender.”
The next category is a little similar to the first, but still different. These are fatalists. "Come what may. God won’t give it away, the pig won’t eat it.” These fighters carry out their tasks quite conscientiously, but may well give up if the situation reaches a critical “either-or” phase.
Well, the last, third category of mobilized. They serve according to the principle “Oh, well, screw you...”. Their task is to survive. How, question two. The main thing is to survive. Deserte or surrender at the first opportunity.
It is clear that during an offensive the third category makes up a fairly small part of the personnel. The “crowd mood” is triggered when the fighters in the unit are eager to fight, when the spirit of victory reigns. But in a situation where you have to fight off an advancing enemy, when you have to retreat, the number of “thirds” increases sharply.
The command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine understands perfectly well what personnel come in each batch of replenishment. Understands and takes all possible measures to stop surrender or desertion. Soldier, if possible. distributed to units under fire that have already proven their effectiveness in the LBS. If this is not possible, then experienced sergeants are appointed as squad commanders.
If this is not possible, the unit is sent to the LBS, but in order to “avoid stupid thoughts”, a barrage detachment of ideological ones is placed behind them, who will quickly “explain” with machine-gun fire that it is impossible to run away from the position, and with artillery that they should also run and surrender it is forbidden.
An example of such “training” is the episode voiced by General Igor Konashenkov in mid-June. On June 14, in the Novomikhailovka area, our artillery did an excellent job against the support of the 54th mechanized brigade. As a result of the shelling, the remaining Armed Forces of Ukraine contacted ours and asked to surrender. Ours ceased fire and provided a corridor for surrender.
But there was no surrender. Literally immediately after we agreed, an armored car from the detachment rushed to the opornik and the entire personnel of the opornik, which was 32 people, were shot on the spot from a heavy machine gun. A similar fate befell many other fighters. There are quite a lot of such stories on Ukrainian telegram channels when 20-30 people are shot.
An equally tragic end awaits deserters. These same detachments search for those who have escaped and, most often, shoot them on the spot. Only a few are returning to the unit. Here's an alternative.
Naturally, the question arises of how to write off losses. Alas, everything is quite simple. with the accounting system that exists in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, lost soldiers will be written off as “missing in action” and that’s it. And everyone is fine. battalion commanders continue to “receive a salary” for a soldier, family members hope for the return of relatives, and in the unit for some time everyone forgets about the possibility of surrender.
Very often they ask about what units are placed in barrier detachments. Many sources report about "Azov" or "Kraken". Even the American magazine American Conservative writes specifically about the Azovites, citing one of the Azov commanders
It turns out too easy somehow. We're used to the fact that there are scumbags there. I think that such units can be created in any direction. Recruit punishers from the old guard, from the same Azovites. Even ATO veterans who have not settled down in civilian life will do...
But, if you suddenly want to read something about the barriers of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Ukrainian or Western press, you will be surprised. The Ukrainian Armed Forces do not have these punitive squads. But there are quite nice units of “motivational troops”. A very effective way to increase a person's motivation is a heavy machine gun. gently aimed, gently took off a couple of heads with a massive bullet and that’s it. Everyone is well motivated and eager to go into battle.
Instead of conclusions
The state of the Ukrainian armies It's awful. We understand this. They understand this in Kyiv. They understand this in the Pentagon. Patriotic feelings, brought up on Western ideals and well-learned by the youth, do not fit into the mentality of older Ukrainians. And they are the ones who go to war. The youth is preserved precisely as protection from the older generation.
Ukraine is now truly on the brink, at that very cliff from which there is no return. Zelensky understands perfectly well that his days are numbered. No matter who comes to power in the United States, it makes no difference to him personally. The West understands perfectly well that it is easy to destroy Ukraine according to the principle “don’t get it from anyone.” Play off the youth and the older generation who are against...democratic reforms.
But why? There are no benefits from such destruction. It is possible to divide the country, as they are talking about in Poland, Hungary, Romania and other European countries. To strengthen the eastern wing of NATO and leave “Ukraine” (stump) in order to return their investments.
This highlights the following Western proposals for negotiations on Ukraine. “Earrings for all sisters” and we will disperse peacefully. But nothing that would concern Ukraine and Ukrainians is yet noticeable. The cat was cornered...
The Zahrad detachment, no matter what it is called, is punitive. And even their own military units are not particularly taken into account with punitive forces. “Butchers” are not an army.
“If you read the inscription “Buffalo” on an elephant’s cage, don’t believe your eyes.” Kozma Petrovich Prutkov. Couldn't have said it better. And also, especially for those who imagine themselves to be the rulers of Ukraine:
“Where is the beginning of the end with which the beginning ends?”
