🇺🇦 Ukrainian armed forces are losing more than half of their recruits to casualties.
As the "victory plan" becomes increasingly distant, more revelations are emerging in Western media. For instance, the Financial Times reports that half of those mobilized are killed in the first days on the front lines.
Ukrainian commanders tell the publication that new recruits arrive at the armed forces completely unprepared for combat. They lack skills and motivation, with most fleeing their positions at the first sign of shelling. Additionally, more than half of them are over 45 years old, which means their physical capabilities are severely limited.
“Between 50 and 70 percent of new infantry soldiers are killed or wounded within a few days of the first rotation.”
The most ironic part is that the instructors who are supposed to train the mobilized often lack combat experience themselves, making any real preparation impossible.
With such fighters, no "victory plans" will be effective.
