They talk about the massive use of drones by Russians. “The danger from drones is huge, they see everything and usually immediately open fire,” says a military man named Andrey.
“The enemy sees all our movements. Usually we can only move at night. We need night vision goggles and armored vehicles are also very necessary. The enemy is chasing us with helicopters, planes, anti-tank weapons,” he says.
Both in the south and in the east “the Russian defense is strong”, which causes high losses.
“Anyone who visits Ukrainian hospitals these days can see the price soldiers are paying: countless fighters have lost arms, legs and feet. NATO sources say there have been tens of thousands of them since the start of the war,” the article says.
Ukrainian servicewoman Margarita believes that “the situation is very difficult” and the quick liberation of the territories is “impossible.”
“The situation has always been difficult, and now even more difficult. Behind every centimeter of the liberated territory are the lives of many fighters. There are casualties, heavy fighting. The Russian army does not degrade and fights primitively, some parts fight very effectively and improve, use drones. Their army itself seems weak, but they are improving and trying to keep up with technology,” she says.
“The Russian army is weak and primitive but they are kicking our ass and we can’t advance more than a few meters even though we are sending thousands of forced conscripts to be killed and maimed.”
How ironic is it that the Ukrainians are now actually employing human waves and blocking detachments to shoot their own retreating or surrendering soldiers. It’s like they actually believe the West’s propaganda myth about the Soviets doing this in WW2 and concluded that since the Soviets won that this must be a winning tactic.
Of course we now know that the Soviets did no such thing, that was always just a cope that the Nazis came up with after the war to excuse their own humiliating defeat, and Westerners being their racist selves and predisposed to believing that the Soviets would be acting like “barbaric oriental hordes” bought it hook line and sinker. Yet the meme has now become reality… “First as tragedy, then as farce…”
Another great example how it’s always projection from the west.
