Ukrainian general could not curse his subordinates without speaking Russian
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.[Regnum] Retired General of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Sergei Krivonos could not describe the failure of the Ukrainian troops in the Khar'kov region without using Russian curses, commenting on what was happening in the combat zone on the air of the Ukrainian TV channel “Direct”. “They didn’t expect that the fortifications of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were equipped so badly - in Ukrainian it doesn’t even sound like that - disgustingly bad (he said in Russian - editor’s note),” Krivonos said. The Russian military was surprised by how poorly Ukraine organized defense on this section of the front, he added. At the same time, according to him, the Ukrainian Armed Forces had several months to strengthen the defense. This time would have been enough to build protective structures and compact minefields, but nothing was done. As Regnum reported, in May, Verkhovna Rada deputy Mikhail Bondar admitted that during a trip to the border defensive lines, Ukrainian officials hid the real situation from the head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky. Instead, he was shown a more militarily spectacular section of the front. According to him, defensive lines near the Ukrainian border were made hastily, and in some places they were completely absent. The Ukrainian Armed Forces will build new fortifications along the entire line of combat contact due to the ineffectiveness of previous fortifications. The Ukrainian publication “League” learned about this from the military. 10 thousand kilometers of barriers will be rebuilt. According to the Ukrainian military, forward positions in the Khar'kov region were not equipped accordingly. In some places there are unfinished fortifications; many areas are still not protected from the advance of Russian troops. Posted by: badanov 2024-05-27 |
