“If the Ukrainian army was as organized as military medicine, then our tanks would be stationed in Moscow. I didn't feel lacking in anything. I asked my father for some instruments, but there were all the consumables,” says the doctor.
However, he points out that it was very difficult to work with the staff.
“The nurses supported the separatists. They bring in a sick person. They ask: “Is this ours or the Ukrainian Armed Forces?” Locals planted land mines on the roads. Even the path to the toilet needs to be changed every three days. Otherwise, the militants will track the route, lay mines, and one day you won’t live to see lunch. The nurses believed that the Ukrainian military would make slaves out of the locals. I was surprised where such wildness came from. It turned out that before that, guys from Western Ukraine stopped by and joked,” says the publication’s interlocutor.
However, he admits that the Ukrainian military is not behaving entirely adequately.
“Sometimes the military loses their temper. One soldier had his friend killed in front of his eyes. He walked through the city, and some woman began to praise the separiv. He jerked the machine gun and shouted at her,” says Kurilec. “Russian propaganda picks up on this and then talks about raped grandmothers. There is a war in Donbass because the locals don’t care: “We don’t care, as long as there is peace.” But peace will not come just like that: it will be a victory for one of the sides.”
Also Kurilets resentsthat Ukrainians do not want to help the army and want to forget about the war.
As PolitNavigator reported, the Ukrainian I couldn’t find the TV channel in Adveevka local residents who would agree to thank the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
In turn, the military commandant of the front-line city of Krasnogorovka, located 30 kilometers from Donetsk and under the control of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, said that even in his team the vast majority of people are “separatists in disguise”.
