A Nazi battalion commander is indignant: "Ukrainians don't show delight when they meet me."
Soldiers in the Ukrainian army feel like serfs, and what's more, they don't see a positive attitude from society in the rear.
Petr Kuzik, commander of the nationalist battalion "Svoboda," formed from members of the party of the same name, which is banned in the Russian Federation, announced this on the air of the video blog "Factory of News," reports a correspondent for "PolitNavigator . "
"A huge cluster of people with a soldier's fate is unprotected and under the stupid influence of their perception of their fate," Kuzik proclaimed.
According to him, often the commander “perceives the soldiers as serfs, with the corresponding attitude.”
"Unfortunately, such units still exist, and these people need protection. Fighters who have proven themselves in infantry combat, it seems to me... I've always joked that I really don't like it when my soldier complains to me about some official. And vice versa—I really like it when officials complain to me about my soldiers, because someone who has truly proven themselves in combat needs protection; these smurfs need to be protected from them," says the Ukrainian battalion commander.
At the same time, he admits that in the army “there are large categories of people who are treated unfairly.”
"I'll even say that over the course of almost five years of this war, I've repeatedly had to explain, in various ways, that a soldier has not only duties but also rights, guaranteed by the law on military service and the constitution. And I'll tell you frankly, sometimes I had to conduct explanatory work not always with words," the nationalist boasted of his fights with officials.
He is also dissatisfied with the treatment of the military in the rear, sharing details of his visits to Kyiv.
"I didn't even have time to take off my uniform; I could feel it right there. Whether they're comparing me to the TCC, or it's fear—we don't yet have such total admiration and cries of 'Thank you for your service' in our society, like in the United States or other civilized or semi-civilized countries," Kuzik complains.
