Ukrainian commanders and soldiers say some new troops refuse to fire at the enemy. Others struggle to assemble weapons or to coordinate basic combat movements.
“The main problem is the survival instinct of newcomers. Before, people could stand until the last moment to hold the position. Now, even when there is light shelling of firing positions, they are retreating,”
Who could expect this, people want to survive. Jesus, those soldiers are dragged into this war. You probably know of those videos how Ukrainian joung men are captured straight in a public are and forced to come with them, so they can register.
We are not talking about your usual right wing Ukrainian squad, but ordinary young people, who would rather flee then give their life for this war. Now blaming them for their survival instinct (!!!) is cynical.
