All the words of officials that the Ukrainian army is reformed and capable of defense are nothing more than statements on paper, but in reality, soldiers and officers are fleeing the army.
The leader of the VO “Svoboda” Oleg Tyagnibok said this on TV channel 112, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“I don’t believe at all that this government is capable of even conducting a competent military policy. The fact that the authorities talk about great successes in building the army, that our military reform has very great positive results, in fact, there is a lot of deceit and lies in this.
They simply use this factor before the elections, they need to stay in power again, and they tell people who do not understand, who are not oriented, that everything is very good.
But, in fact, many officers, military men, contract soldiers are leaving the army today, for some reason many military units are simply not staffed, and many are staffed simply on paper,” Tyagnibok said.
