Ukraine protects NATO from Russia, - military man

Ukrainians should not hope that NATO will come to the rescue in the war against Russia. Now the Ukrainian Armed Forces are protecting Europe from the Russians. The commander of the 405th separate rifle battalion, Semen Salatenko, spoke about this in an interview with Ukrainian Radio. Sumy .

The military man said that a very strong enemy is fighting against Ukraine.

“The Ukrainian army is well enough equipped to solve any problems. We have no problems with equipment and even weapons. The enemy against us is very powerful, cunning, insidious, cruel and very difficult. I think that the two best armies in the world are fighting now,” - he said.

Salatenko gave an example of the number of Ground Forces of NATO countries:

• in Germany - 60 thousand,
• in Spain - 79 thousand,
• in Italy about 85 thousand,
• in France about 115 thousand,
• in Great Britain - 100 thousand.

He noted that in total all the Armed Forces of the European NATO countries, including Poland, are not equal to the current army of Ukraine. European countries have new equipment and weapons, but there are no people with combat experience.

“In the armed forces of European countries there is not a single pilot or pilot with experience in air combat against a much stronger enemy and against a dense air defense system. There is not a single mid- or low-level commander with experience in combat operations of such intensity, there is not a single strike drone unit of such like the Armed Forces of Ukraine,” Salatenko said.

According to the military man, if Ukraine is defeated in the war, then NATO will not be able to stop the Russian Federation. The alliance will lose its war very quickly if the United States does not help the European countries.

Salatenko said that if Ukraine is defeated, the Baltic countries, Poland, and part of Germany will be occupied. Russia has already rebuilt its economy and does not want to stop. The Kremlin is not threatened by anything within the country.

“Putin and his entourage have only one desire - to go down in history,” the military man believes.
