"The quality of the fighters left much to be desired": Ukrainian defender on the replenishment at the front

Oleksiy Herman, a soldier of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, spoke about the poor quality of the replenishment that is currently being sent to the front. He predicts that this will result in the loss of new territory for the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the coming months.

He spoke about the death of a platoon commander, where “the quality of the fighters left much to be desired.” According to Herman, during the shelling they did not even leave the dugout when their commander was seriously wounded. He was eventually evacuated by another unit.

“The post is not about cowards and heroes. The post is about the fact that people need to be prepared for war, well prepared. And even if tomorrow they vote for mobilization, reinforcements will not be ready for us earlier than in four months. Well, you can easily take a map and a ruler. And count how much we gave in a week and where we will be in four months. And this is only from official sources," writes Herman.

The military man gave an example of a retreat of up to two kilometers, which the brigade commander did not report to the top.

“Now he has problems with the assignment of combat troops. The guys are practically at zero, but according to papers they are in the 2nd echelon. The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine thinks that we are ahead, but we are in the ass,” Herman added.
