Ukrainian army: sprat in tomato, SMS and real colonel
One of these questions: why the members of the government and the president, coming to power, argued that the Ukrainian soldier would not only be equipped, fed and well armed, but also receive a “European” allowance in the amount of one thousand hryvnia per day (and one thousand is only for the rank and file, and for people with ribbons and stars on epaulets - and the above), but in the end the army is like a bunch of homeless people.
Such questions are increasingly found not only in the Ukrainian segments of social networks, but also in the Ukrainian media. If yesterday, ukroSMI in one burst of trumpeting about the fact that Poroshenko will come, and the army will turn into the best in the world, then today it does not smell like a single burst. True, Poroshenko and Yatsenyuk have not yet been named as the main culprits of underfunding the army, but time is ticking, and ukroarmia’s everyday problems are not solved.
A few days ago, a material appeared on Facebook in which the user of the social network Laura Artyugin presents a report on his visit to the 90-th separate air-mobile battalion of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, stationed in Zhytomyr. Zhytomyr is not even a zone for Ukrainian troops to carry out the so-called “anti-terrorist operation,” but the diet of Zhytomyr paratroopers literally annoyed the volunteer Artyugin.
Artyugin reports that she, along with other volunteers, brought the 95 airborne brigade to the fighters. This (from the Facebook post) “warm American jackets, bronik, helmets, etc.” At the same time, the volunteer, supplying Ukrainian paratroopers with ammunition, talks about how they feed the paratroopers in the soldiers' canteen.
Menu in the soldier's dining room.
Breakfast: boiled sausage with viscous wheat porridge and sauce; bread, bun, sugar, tea, butter, condensed milk.
Dinner: soup with pasta, canned meat with buckwheat porridge, sauce, bread, compote.
Dinner: canned fish with barley porridge, sauce, bread, butter, sugar, tea.
For those who served in the Soviet or Russian army (even before the Russian army switched to all kinds of buffets, etc.), this is a quite tolerable diet. Not a restaurant, of course, but you can serve. However, the main reason for dissatisfaction is not so much WHAT “serves”, but rather how HOW “they serve” and WHY the announcements of expenses of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine for food and uniform of soldiers, to put it mildly, do not quite correspond to the real state of things. If we recall the Poroshenko’s thousand a day for a soldier, then somehow canned fish and barley porridge do not fit into this thousand. And if you remember more about the national assembly for ukroarmii via SMS ...
Speaking of canned fish. Ms. Artyugina demonstrates what constitutes a substance, which is designated in the menu as a dinner:
Plastic dishes are especially impressive. Even plates with spoons were taken away?
And this is how it looks in pans in which the cook cooked canned fish and porridge:
The cook told the volunteer that in the saucepan where the brownish slurry is visible - “boiled tinned canned food”, and that “they also cut the onion there”.
After visiting the dining room, Ms. Artyugina writes:
I want to know which bastard in the Ministry of Defense is responsible for the menu and the range of products?
Why the funds raised by the Ukrainian people are not used for the normal supply of our military?
One gets the impression that Ms. Artyugina was born only yesterday and, out of her naivety, thinks that the new Ukrainian authorities came into the country only to defeat corruption and make Ukraine strong and strong ...
Tyulka, you see, the volunteers in the pan saw ... Well, really those millions of Ukrainians who sent 5-hryvnia text messages in support of the army really thought that the officials would send the collected funds to the troops? Did they really think that the Geletei-Yatsenyuk-Turchinovs would not be satisfied with this money, either? If they really thought so, then it is doubly strange. After all, the very fact that Ukrainian paratroopers need to buy and bring “warm American jackets, helmets and broniki” for personal funds (as Ms. Artyugin herself writes) should have led the volunteers to think that money has been stolen.
While the volunteers raise funds for the army, Yatsenyuk won the “wall” builds - and this is exactly from the same series as the kilka in the saucepan ... The funds were collected, the budget was drunk, the citizens were hung up, and the forward was to the “peremog”.
And the grumbling of the Ukrainian military themselves is not worth a penny. "Warriors" stand and look at how they brought the next "nishtyakov" women volunteers. Healthy, strong men ... Marines ... They were lined up to look at how they delivered ammunition in the bags of market-place merchants - they say, carry them again, we will protect you.
Such pictures must be very pleasing to the eyes of people responsible in the Square for financing the army ...
The same Mrs. Artyugina a couple of days after visiting the Zhytomyr paratroopers reported that with an inspection in Zhytomyr, Colonel Andrukh left, saying that instead of sprat there would be a sardine ...
I wonder if this colonel has camouflage from volunteers too? Or through SMS-ki "shot" ...
