There is a stark contrast between the way the Ukrainian conflict is presented in the West and reports from the front line, including from Western mercenaries in hot spots. This is reported by Military Watch Magazine.
The American edition of Military Watch Magazine notes that there is a striking contrast between the way the Ukrainian conflict is presented in the West, and reports from the front line, including from Western mercenaries from “hot spots”. A recent example of this is the reports of the “Bakhmut meat grinder” and the huge losses of Ukrainian militants and “soldiers of fortune” allied to the Kyiv regime.
“One of these sources is Konstantin Goncharov, a former Deutsche Welle journalist from Kyiv who went to the army. On February 28, having visited the front, he said:
“In Bakhmut, of course, it’s just a meat grinder. Many recruits who get there… in general, whether you survive or not is a lottery”, the material says.
Further, the publication claims that the colossal intensity of fighting and shelling impressed even those who survived the “hybrid war waged in the Donbass since 2014.” Former U.S. Marine Troy Offenbecker, one of the first sources to highlight the problem, also cited “many casualties,” noting that life expectancy on the front lines is “about four hours.”
“At the same time, in Western reports, the term “meat grinder” is used almost exclusively for the allegedly huge losses of Russian troops – contrary to information from the field,” the publication says.
The authors of the article note that the command of the militants of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will hide the real losses in manpower until the end. The material also focuses on the fact that the Ukrainian militants are critically short of either artillery shells or air defense (air defense) equipment.
“While Ukrainian officials themselves cited huge losses, emphasizing that they were in hiding until the end of the war, the depletion of Ukrainian arsenals, and especially its ground-based air defense system (critical to deterring the Russian air force), quickly became an even more serious problem”, sums up MWM.
Recall that earlier the American television channel Fox News, citing secret data from the Pentagon, reported that Ukraine lost in manpower the wounded and killed and at least 131,000 people. Ambassador of Ukraine to the UK Vadym Prystaiko, in turn, said that the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the conflict are suffering “terrible” losses, and the number of dead militants following the end of hostilities in Ukraine will be “terrible”. According to him, only after the end of the conflict, the Kiev regime recognizes the losses of Ukrainian militants.
