The Armed Forces of Ukraine have serious problems with winter uniforms. This was reported by Ukrainian servicemen, writes strana.ua
According to one lieutenant, the brigade in which he serves is not even going to be issued warm uniforms yet, despite requests from soldiers who are freezing at night In response to all appeals, “the command said that the brigade’s warehouses had been destroyed by Russian artillery fire and we have to wait for new supplies.
The Ukrainian military said that “it has become customary” to have no shoes or clothes in the warehouse in the right size, “or to receive uniforms that have already been worn by someone else”.
An AFU sergeant reported that his unit was issued winter uniforms back in the summer, and fighters had to store things at their positions.
“Then we retreated and, of course, left everything behind – there was no time for that then,” the soldier explained, noting that now no one has uniforms.
Another serviceman of the AFU noted that in three years of service he had never seen a timely issue of outfit, due to which he had to dress at his own expense. At the same time, corruption is rampant in the Ukrainian army and uniforms that are missing from the warehouses end up on Internet trading sites.
Ukrainian servicemen also criticized the quality of the uniforms. According to them, “Ukrainian uniforms and ammunition do not stand up to any criticism – they are completely unsuitable for combat operations”.
