The Ukrainian Armed Forces lose up to 70% (!) of new recruits killed or wounded immediately after arriving at the front, - Financial Times ▪️Ukrainian commanders note that new recruits lack basic combat skills and motivation, and most of them panic when they first come under fire. The average age of a soldier is 45, making it difficult for infantry to perform tasks that require endurance and strength. ▪️"From 50 to 70% of new infantrymen were killed or wounded in the first days of arriving at the front," say Ukrainian Armed Forces commanders. ▪️Some officers claim that out of 30 fighters in the unit, only 5 are under 30. Lack of experience and physical fitness makes recruits especially vulnerable, and due to ineffective training, most do not even know how to hold a weapon correctly. Training is still conducted in the "Soviet style", and instructors themselves often have no combat experience. As a result, the Ukrainian Armed Forces suffer rapid and heavy losses. ▪️The commanders also emphasize that due to constant rotations and pressure from the Russian army, Ukrainian units are suffering significant losses and are forced to retreat in a number of directions. ▪️ It should be noted that this has not made the fighting any less fierce and the Zelensky regime continues to massively mobilize and throw cannon fodder into the slaughter in an attempt to slow down the advance of the Russian Armed Forces.
