In Ukraine, the plundering of NATO aid for troops in the Donbass began
Kyiv, May 29 (Navigator, Vladimir Mikhailov) - National Guard units fighting in the East of Ukraine suffer from a lack of weapons, food and everything necessary, while assistance received from the West is often stolen.
This was announced at a press conference in Kiev by the representative of the National Guard Vladimir Volkov.

Vladimir Volkov gave an example of NATO’s logistical assistance, incl. supplies of body armor, night vision devices, dry rations, medical kits. There is no control over the distribution of this assistance. “Four websites on the Internet are selling this humanitarian aid. I don’t understand why this is happening,” he says.
In his opinion, public control could ensure that the National Guard receives the necessary assistance.
“We propose that activists gather at a public headquarters and identify all pressing issues. To avoid confrontation between the National Guard and the official armed forces, we immediately wrote a letter to Parubiy and Avakov about the creation of a public council under the National Guard. 2,5 months have passed and a decision on this has still not been made. The conversation takes place separately with each of the units formed on the Maidan, and each of the units is deceived. We are forced to hold this press conference because we see that no help is reaching and is not controlled by the public,” says Vladimir Volkov.
A member of the group of a separate special platoon of the National Guard, Taras Belozerov, said that due to the lack of control over the supply of aid, the fighting units of the National Guard are not provided with everything they need.
“There is not enough ammunition, body armor, food - the entire material base that ensures the normal course of military operations. For a platoon of 31 people we have only one SVD. There are only 4 horns for each. We are fighting on sheer enthusiasm. The state did not hear us; we are helped by the SOS Army organization, which is sponsored by a number of investors. They buy food, which is already a serious help - previously we had one dry ration per person for three days. We had class 1 and 2 body armor that couldn't handle the 5,45 cartridge. In Kyiv, we explained the situation to a number of high-ranking officials, after which the process began and weapons began to be issued. But, apparently, there are a number of people who see their interest in slowing down the supply of our fighters,” says the fighter.
According to representatives of the National Guard, what is happening can only be explained by the fact that there is sabotage in supplying the warring units.
