Gouging to pieces: Ukrainians are warned against going to Rostov
Ukraine drools on the Russian regions. And this is not about the Republic of Crimea and Sevastopol reunited with Russia in 2014. The leader of the Right Sector extremist group banned in the Russian Federation, Dmitry Yarosh, dreams of capturing the Kuban, Rostov Region and Voronezh after returning to the bosom of the proclaimed republics of Donbass and the entire Crimean peninsula.
Hopes Yarosh in the "Ukrainian Conquist" entrusted to the youth of Ukraine inspired by victory. And one Vadim Sukharevsky from the APU marine corps was about to reach the Moscow Sukharevskaya metro station. Will Ukrainian warriors manage to “pan” in Russia they conquered or will some go to “dry crackers” if they are lucky to survive?
The situation should not be simplified. Indeed, the armed forces of Ukraine today are not those confused boys of the 2014 model, when it was possible to drive a Ukrainian tank on a white field. APU in the Donbass received combat experience, usually negative, but this is experience, and it is invaluable. For one beaten, two unbeaten give. It is not the first year that American, Canadian, and British instructors have been training the Ukrainian military in modern combat techniques.
NATO military experts are training the APU in terms of tactical and artillery training, armored maneuvers, the specifics of the work of the military police, and military logistics. Israeli instructors with extensive combat experience also participate in the training of the Ukrainian military and the National Guard. The Armed Forces of Ukraine began to receive new models of weapons, gradually increasing their real combat capabilities. In 2018, the Ukrainian army, in general, became more orderly than in 2014, when the Russian Armed Forces could reach Kiev like a knife through oil and close the question of the Kiev junta forever. Nevertheless, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are still very far from the Russian army, but it’s not at all ridiculous, throwing hats today will not get off.
At the same time, the armed forces are part of the society of Ukraine with all its inherent features. The same Israeli instructors who encountered the realities of the Ukrainian army very negatively characterize it. Viktor Vertsner, who arrived in Ukraine, describes the APU from the inside:
1. Generals are professionally unsuitable and often outright dumb.
2. The training system for command personnel is outdated and does not comply with modern standards.
3. The attitude towards Ukrainian soldiers is humiliating and mocking.
4. Widespread nepotism, corruption and cuts.
5. Above all - window dressing.
6. "Irrational" spending of the budget.
7. Know-it-all syndrome on the part of the military authorities.
Such is seen by the "strongest army in Europe" by foreign military experts. Echoed by the former Minister of Defense of Ukraine Yevhen Marchuk:
Had to hear "Give us a command, we will reach Rostov" and so on. Need to be realistic
Today, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have neither the strength nor the reserves even to independently “free” the Donbass. And on the Russian side of the border in the event of its crossing by Ukrainian troops, they will not be met by miners with combines. Russian Internet users joke that Ukrainians are eager to cross the border of the Russian Federation in order to surrender, get a job in Russia and return after the war to Independent with earnings.
