The collapsing US military & economic empire is making Washington & NATO even more dangerous. US could not beat the Taliban but thinks it can take on China-Russia-Iran...a sign of psychopathology for sure. We must all do more to help stop this western corporate arrogance that puts the future generations lives in despair. @BruceKGagnon

Ukrainian POW: 'It's a mess'

 


 SouthFront

The losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) during the offensive operation amount to thousands of lives of Ukrainian soldiers. According to the Pentagon, such losses were fully taken into account.

Meanwhile, Ukrainian servicemen do not agree to be used as cannon fodder and for the interests of NATO. More and more units of the AFU and assault groups surrender on the front lines. 

Ukrainian POWs confirm that Kiev’s counter offensive is a failure. Previously, units of the AFU that were thrown into the bloody battles made similar claims and refused to fight under the command of their unprofessional officers

See some very touching interviews with Ukrainian POW's at https://southfront.org/in-video-ukrainian-pows-confirm-counter-offensive-is-mess/ 

In one of the videos an AFU soldier says:

"It's a mess out there...some units come in, suffered losses and ran away. Instead of evacuating their wounded and holding the line, they just left the positions. Our command was extremely incompetent. They don't know how to motivate, don't care about them, don't follow their promises. Well, people are not willing to fight, the moral is very low, people refuse to go on the offensive. There are no reinforcements."

The US-UK-NATO keep pressuring Zelensky to round up more troops and send them to the front. Mostly they are farm boys, rural and urban poor and working class. Videos from Lviv (in western Ukraine far from the front) young men of means are seen partying on the streets at night. 

Zelensky tells the west he needs F-16 war planes.Washington wants to drag this out. Evidence is the announcement in the last few days that the Pentagon says it miscounted the value of weapons sent to Ukraine and they found another $6.2 billion in unspent budget allocation for more arms to stoke the Ukraine debacle.

Those in the west who claim they care so much about the Ukrainian people (and their cannon fodder troops) ought to get off their duffs and call for an end to the US-UK-NATO money and weapons pipeline that keeps this bloody war going. 

Watch these videos linked above and see these AFU troops for yourself and then tell me that Russia is the one who started this war and keeps it going.
