They, the Ukrainians, might need every soldier/service members they can get. It’s looking pretty grim. i would bet you any amount of money that 50% of ukrainian fighting force has been killed or left the country, paid foreign fighters make up close to 50% of the fighting force. thats why france and germany secretly talking bout sending troops, before long it will be us troops if biden still in control. There’s no evidence that near 50% of Ukraine’s military is currently foreign fighters. Ukraine reports 30,000 foreign fighters and that number is thought to be inflated by the Ukrainians, against an active force of about 900,000. If 40% of that was mercenaries, there would have to be 360,000 mercenaries. There’s not likely enough mercenaries in the world to realistically meet that number if you don’t count mercenaries working for Russia. Ukraine’s losses have been much smaller than Russia’s. Russia is approaching half a million killed or wounded. But Russia can afford to lose more that Ukraine can. Russian lives are expendable. That’s how they’ve always fought and won wars. Russia stumbled through the first year because they tried Western-style blitzkrieg and they couldn’t pull it off. They’ve switched to meat grinder tactics and that’s working much better for them. Ukraine is in a similar position as the Confederate States during the Civil War. They’re better fighters than the Russians. But kill enough Ukrainian veterans with wave after wave of suicide assaults and the Russians will win by default. |

According to the German military’s estimates, “around 10,000 Ukrainian soldiers were trained by German and multinational units on German soil in 2023.” Under the European Union Military Assistance Mission Ukraine (EUMAM UA) established in November 2022, German instructors and those from several other member states have trained Ukrainian military personnel. In a reply to an inquiry made by the right-wing Alternative for Germany Party (AFD), the German government wrote that “within the framework of training for the Ukrainian armed forces conducted by the Bundeswehr, seven cases have been established where soldiers were wearing far-right extremist symbols.” www.rt.com/news/597743-germany-expels-ukrainian-troops-nazi-insignia/And that's according to RT, the "Russian state-controlled international television network". So who's repeating Putin's propaganda? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RT_(TV_network)As for J6, there were all sorts of factions represented, including antifa and apparent FBI directed provocateurs, so a swastika wouldn't surprise me, or define the whole crowd either. I did not even notice that. I just picked one of the 20 articles about it. Does Zerohedge make you feel better? The government noted that approximately 10,000 soldiers were trained "on German soil in 2023." www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/germany-deports-7-ukrainian-soldiers-displaying-nazi-symbols |

I’m glad you’re finally admitting that the Biden administration along with the State Department screwed the pooch from the beginning of this war. 👍 |

I just noticed the article was from Russian Times FFS 🙄 very funny, i stand by my statement. 50% of men fighting in ukraine are part of one of the many private military companies. g4s on ukraine side ,wagner on russia side. about a dozen other smaller groups are there as well. |
