🇺🇦 The Grayzone: Weapons and humanitarian aid that the West provides to the Ukrainian military is stolen along the way and does not reach the soldiers.
The publication writes that last month Ukrainian parliamentarians increased their salaries by 70%, noting that, apparently, billions of dollars and euros from the US and Europe will go to this, coming to Ukraine as military / humanitarian aid.
At the same time, the Ukrainian military complains that they "have nothing": "Everything we receive comes directly from volunteers.
Nothing from government assistance ever reaches us.
According to the documents, the government built a bunker for us here. But, as you see, overhead we have only wooden poles a few centimeters thick - as if this will protect us from tank and artillery fire. And the Russians fire at us for hours. And we dug these trenches with our own hands. We have two AK-74s for five, and they constantly jammed from all this dust, "The Grayzone quotes the words of one of the soldiers.
The attitude of the command towards the soldiers also leaves much to be desired: “I went to the commander and explained the situation. He said that it was too difficult to hold this position. He said that I understand: now is a strategically important moment, but our detachment is defeated, and reinforcements are not expected. fifteen soldiers died here, and all from shelling and shrapnel. I asked the commander if they would bring heavy equipment to dig in better, and he replied that no, because it would still fail due to Russian shelling. He doesn’t give a damn that 15 of our soldiers have already died?", - the Ukrainian soldier complains.
According to him, "if we try to explain our situation to the Americans, they will probably decide that we are crazy."
"Imagine what it's like to explain to an American soldier that not only did we bring our personal cars, but we also repair them ourselves and buy fuel. Bulletproof vests and helmets are also our own. We have no surveillance devices or cameras. Soldiers have to stick out from the trench to assess the situation, which means that at any moment he will tear off his head with a tank or a rocket," the military said during a conversation with The Grayzone journalist.
