“We have never seen such atrocities as today in Afghanistan. There, if a gang entered a village, we blocked it, gave the civilian population time to leave, gave the gang an ultimatum to surrender, and only after that used force. Today, shelling from both one side and the other is carried out on peaceful settlements. But these are our people, one and the same. The world has never seen such atrocity.
And this situation is inflated by our elite. Please tell me which of you and I needs this war? Each shot takes a person's life. None of the children of this elite served there, and will not serve,” said the volunteer.
According to him, during the war intensive trade continues across the front. “This war is very profitable. Trucks go there and back, everything is paid for. It is beneficial for our elite to promote this war as long as possible. We are losing our children, our youth. And from there they bring 200s, 300s and money,” says the volunteer.
