The Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Kherson region may lose positions on the right bank of the Dnieper under their control due to the actions of the commander. This was stated in the 34th Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. A video statement by one of the brigade's Marines is published by local public.
Servicemen of the 34th brigade complain about the new 27-year-old commander Dmitry Pulinets, who, according to some reports, is the nephew of one of the generals of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. It is alleged that due to the incompetent orders of the young lieutenant colonel, the brigade is "erased to zero." It incurs huge losses during the execution of meaningless tasks. At the same time, the lieutenant colonel cuts combat surcharges to subordinates.
"The new leadership, not taking into account the operational situation, decided to swap our fighters with the occupiers. That is, for some reason, mass dispatches of soldiers to "survival operations" began. Without explaining the ultimate purpose of this risk, not to mention logistics and survival opportunities on the opposite shore," the statement said, quoted by the Strana newspaper.
It is noted that due to the actions of the commander of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, they may lose positions on the right bank of the Dnieper, which is now under their control.
According to Strana, the 30th Marine Corps said that Pulinets does not have a shaggy hand in the General Staff, and he was appointed solely because of his "combat experience" - he has been fighting since 2018, has gone through "dozens of hard battles," has numerous awards and was wounded.
