2nd Company of the 46th Rifle Battalion

After 2 weeks of training, they were sent to one of the main fronts in the Donbas region. They were under fire from artillery from the moment they arrived.
Without water, food, communications, or medivac for the wounded. Equipped with machine guns from WWI and WWII they were expected to stand their ground against aviation and artillery.

They fell back and for that, they are being called deserters.

Stories such as this are not uncommon. I have posted videos of similar stories from several different Battalions. I have seen several more that I will probably post.

These stories will not be told by MSM. They will not be acknowledged by Kyiv. They had three choices. Retreat, stand and die pointlessly, or try to surrender which is not as easy as raising a white flag.

How's the saying go?, fight Russia to the last Ukrainian. Seems like that part of the agenda is being carried out viciously upon its own population. Surrender is their most sensible option.

Honestly, the people of Ukraine would most likely be treated better under Russia leadership than the puppet that was installed with the aid of the democrat crime cabal. He's no different than biden other than they both use their noses to sniff different things.

How is this any different then Russia (one of the world's premier super power) sending their military with no clear objective and poor supply with little to know leadership? Ukraine is doing a pretty stand up job all things considered and fanning the flames of propaganda helps to show Russias desperation

Russia currently controlling 30% of Ukraine says otherwise. You may be right on one point for a time it appeared Russia was getting rid of old equipment and untrained troops by sending them in first.

But the fact still remains America just sent military aid packages almost equivalent to the annual Russian military budget. Yet most Ukrainian are still under equipped. Something doesn't add up.

It's pretty clear to many of us the biden regime is laundering money and assets through Ukraine while Ukrainian troops are sent to a meat grinder for profit.

No clear objective?

The objectives were clearly stated from the start.

In case you haven't noticed one of those objectives can be considered complete. All of Ukraine's military industry has been destroyed. They are now completely dependent on outside forces to arm and resupply them.

The Donbas region is falling. Liman has officially come under Ru control. The lid is closing on the cauldron.



Once the Donbas region is under Ru control a second objective is fulfilled. UA had 8 years to fortify that region with hardened positions. They have nothing like it to fall back to.


t.me...

This all could have been avoided if the US, representing the west and NATO would have negotiated with Putin while he was still massing troops along the border with Ukraine.

So much death and destruction could have been avoided.

The US wants all out war with Russia to hide the Biden administration’s corruption with the Ukraine government, keep the MIC well nourished and to declare martial law in the US before the next elections.

2 phony governments in the US and Ukraine trying to start WWIII.

It was a brilliant plan then- blitz all of eastern Ukraine and compromise a high percentage of your assets and troops to conquer Donbas. I think this will go down in history as one ofthe biggest military blunders of our time.

The talking heads thought Ukraine would fall in less than 2 weeks. Putin Will not survive this blunder and Russia will be fortunate to survive it- all according to plan? Whose plan Xi's?

I can see how you have that perception. Western media has been total trash when reporting on this. Ru used the same tactics they use in Syria.

Tying up Kyiv made it so reinforcements weren't sent to Mariupol and now the remnants of UAs strongest and highest trained forces are in Ru POW camps.

The talking heads thought Ukraine would fall in less than 2 weeks.

MSM bobbleheads spewing crap is nothing new. Those "geniuses" somehow thought entire convoys could teleport across the nation. 2 weeks wasn't even enough time to move them into positions while setting up FOBs for refuel and resupply.

All the talking heads in their echo chambers and think tanks decided to put out their talking points as to what Putins strategy was to fit their narrative.

We don’t really know what Putin’s military strategy is, but it’s not looking good for Ukraine right now.

My question is where is all the money that the U.S. and European countries are sending? If it was sent in the form of armaments and supplies, then these soldiers should have been well equipped. Whoever their commander is should be replaced for allowing his troops to be put in harm's way above and beyond the normal course of war.
A lot of questions here.

a reply to: Phantom423

The commanders run away. I just got done watching a video from a UA soldier asking why the commanders can run away as cowards leaving them there but if they retreat they are shot by their "own" forces.

Isn’t Russia only using like 25-30% or their fighting force and equipment? That’s a little alarming that they are taking out NATOs best trained army like this. Also I’m kind of mad we have been led to believe Russia is some incompetent country with old clunky equipment. It’s dangerous to underestimate your enemy like that.

a reply to: Phantom423

It’s money laundering through the war in Ukraine. I think only 5-6 billion was to be used for military equipment. The rest was spread out so it couldn’t be tracked where the money ended up. But what can you do about it? You can’t even vote these people out of office anymore.

a reply to: Kenny2xx

Everything I have seen reported says it is 15% of their military.

NLAWS and Javelins were supposed to be the superweapon that destroyed Ru military, When that failed it was M777s. Now that they are not making any difference it is the MLRS/HIMARS.

Ru isn't Afghanistan or Iraq that suffered under sanctions for a decade with a dilapidated underfunded and equipped military.

They will track the MLRSs with satellites and target them before they ever get to the battlefield.

Maybe they will do it with the captured switchblade superweapons they captured.

Ukraine is not in NATO.

Nato's best trained army???

What, not even remotely, there is a huge difference between selling/giving weapons and training an army.

Lastly who is sending T-50 tanks into battle its not nato sending 60 year old pieces of equipment. (assuming the reports are true)

Isn’t Russia only using like 25-30% or their fighting force and equipment?

Also last I read russia has committed majority of the troops and equipment that they pre-positioned and are having to resort to conscription to keep fighting.

considering Ukraine was attacked they have fought very well against a larger and in theory better trained army and Russia failed to take kiev, all that is occurring in the east is face saving and securing a land route to the crimea.

a reply to: Oldcarpy2

Sh** I can’t tell. NATO trained them and equipped them. NATO is giving them orders not to tactically retreat, but to stay there and die. Yeah they aren’t officially in NATO on paper. Everything else about them screams NATO

It's certainly plausible but where do we find evidence? Always follow the money and you'll know what's really happening.

NATO is giving them orders?

Got any evidence for that?
