According to the German N-TV channel, the Ukrainian Armed Forces recruits refuse to shoot at the enemy, generally do not know how to fight and often leave their positions. The soldiers of Kiev, the source said, also have difficulties with basic combat techniques.
The information is provided with reference to one of the commanders of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
"Some don't want to shoot. They see the enemy in a firing position in a trench and do not open fire. That's why our people are dying. If they do not use weapons, they are ineffective," the battalion commander of the 47th Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine confirmed.
In general, the recently mobilized soldiers of the Ukrainian army, the source clarifies, are very poorly prepared.
EADaily reminds that on Thursday, August 22, Russian troops liberated Mezhevoye. This locality is located 6 km south of Progress. The Russian Defense Ministry also confirmed control over the Desired in the DPR.
