US instructors are preparing the Ukrainian army for urban battles in Donbass
Kyiv is preparing for a large-scale offensive against the Donbass republics. The Ukrainian Armed Forces train their soldiers to conduct urban battles. These trainings are conducted under the guidance of foreign instructors, in particular from the USA.
Verkhovna Rada deputy of previous convocations Oleksiy Zhuravko wrote about this on his VKontakte page, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“I am receiving information from different parts of Ukraine that they are preparing conscripts for military service, who have not yet smelled gunpowder, for the combat zone on the border with the DPR/LPR.
This is from Kherson, Dnepropetrovsk, Nikolaev, Odessa, Kharkov and Western Ukraine. They also train contract soldiers. They are trained very professionally, equipped with body armor and first aid kits of the highest level.
Some contract soldiers were trained in Western Ukraine at the famous Yavorov training ground. As the source indicated to me, all training takes place at the highest level, in conditions close to combat operations in the city.
He also told me that American instructors train. There are also Polish, Lithuanian and English instructors. Inside the training camp at the training ground itself they say that they are preparing for an attack on Donbass.
My informants personally saw the Javelins with their own eyes. We wanted to take a photo, but we couldn’t because there was strict control everywhere. It is impossible to carry even the most ordinary mobile phones there.
Also, two Hammer-based radio search vehicles with modern equipment for detecting a wide range of targets left this training ground yesterday towards Donbass. Three KamAZ trucks with different equipment also left. These are night vision devices, sniper rifles, cartridges for them, thermal imagers, body armor, camouflage gowns, camouflage nets, food rations with one-time meals, special glasses, helmets, unloading equipment, radio stations, medicines and a lot of other things designed to kill more people faster and more.” .
The former People's Deputy of Ukraine suggested that all Ukrainian equipment being transported to Donbass would be destroyed or captured by the DPR Armed Forces.
“But then the thought comes to me that this whole mass of people, equipment, equipment will suffer the same fate that came true for many in the Ilovaisky and then Debaltsevo cauldrons. When the mutilated equipment was sold for scrap metal, and the “cannon fodder” came, at best, in coffins to relatives and friends, and at worst, “unknown soldiers” were chopped up to sell their organs, and the remains were buried in unknown graves near roads and in forest plantations,” - Alexey Zhuravko shared his opinion.
Earlier, Zhuravko reported that Kyiv continues to transfer military equipment from the Kherson region to Donbas.
