More context:
A Russian soldier complains to his wife about losses among personnel, hunger, and thirst and the command itself:
▪️ a serviceman complains that food was not delivered to them for three weeks, and water for 7 days;
▪️ “the assault failed, everything went to shit, everyone was killed”;
▪️ “you want to eat and drink, that’s what war is all about”;
▪️ “what a country, such an army *boochaya”;
▪️ “I’m already taking off my armor, I don’t have the strength to carry it, and if you’re wounded, they won’t take you out”;
▪️ “200 are lying in the field, they are not taken away”;
▪️ “everyone in general shits on us on us, on the offensive - shit”;
▪️ “there is no one else: neither the 2nd, nor the 3rd… there is no one behind the prisons, everything is forbidden.”
“the Russians no longer have a sergeant corps or junior officers with experience. That is, those who get to the front after shortened courses either become disabled or die very quickly. The Russians do not gain experience, they do not become more professional.”
He also says the areas that stay off the front lines, such as artillery and drone pilots and electronic warfare, are improving, but we know that to win (at least without chemical, biological or nuclear warfare) the Russians will need frontline infantry to press the attack and hold territory. The question then becomes whether Russia can continue to find enough bodies to throw into the meat grinder.
Dude…
Andriy Yevheniyovych Biletskyis a Ukrainian far-right politician. He is the leader of political party National Corps. He was the first commander of the volunteer militia Azov Battalion, which he founded in 2014, and a co-founder of the nationalist movement Social-National Assembly.
…
In a 2007 article, Biletsky stated that “Ukrainian racial social-nationalism” was the ideology of Patriot of Ukraine. During his speech at a 2009 general meeting of the party he said: “How then can we describe our enemy? The general regime in power are oligarchs. Is there anything they have in common? Yes, one thing in common – they are Jews, or their true bosses – Jews – are behind them. Out of one hundred published richest people in Ukraine 92 are Jews, and some others of Tatar origin”.
Biletsky indeed made some racist statements in 2006-2010, but he changed his views and hasn’t made a single racist statement since 2014. Azov batallion included several Jews from the very beginning, so Biletsky now isn’t an anti-Semite.
What does any of that have to do with his evaluation of Russian combat abilities?
You shouldn’t make articles about nazis, nor ask them what they think about …anything?
This article isn’t about Biletskyis. He’s just the guy they interviewed on the subject.
If you want to know about how the war is going and the nazi turns out to be a military commander with lots of knowledge about how the war is going, why not ask him?
They talked to a commander—who is a nazi—threw his picture cross armed on the article thumbnail, and never that I saw condemned him as a nazi. The article is about what a nazi thinks.
That normalizes nazis and the article should not have spoken to him nor should OP have posted and article about what a nazi thinks.
He shouldn’t even be in any nation’s armed forces. He’s a nazi.
I heard Ukraine got rid of those.
Biletsky got rid of his anti-Semitism by now.
