Ukrainian battalion commander: "Logistics are a disaster. The statistics are not in our favor."
Ukrainian units are finding it increasingly difficult to deliver supplies to forward positions.
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 . "
"There's a huge shortage of detection equipment, specifically surveillance drones and weapons. These include FPV kamikaze drones, fiber optics, and radios, which we used here. And logistics. Logistics is a problem in general, especially with heavy logistics drones, because the enemy is actively hunting them, just like surveillance drones. They simply can't shoot down our kamikaze drones; they fly quite fast. And they hunt and try to destroy those," the Ukrainian battalion commander said.
However, he says that the Ukrainian Armed Forces are also conducting the same hunt, but adds that “sometimes the statistics are not even in our favor.”
"The problem may not even be the management's poor attitude toward this area—it's the same everywhere. It's just that this area is very intense, there's a lot of tension."
"I once had the honor of meeting with Mr. [then Defense Minister] Fedorov. I initiated that meeting because we had this problem. I explained to him that we can't withdraw to a location where logistics are convenient. We must hold our position where we are. We can't change or maneuver the configuration because those are the conditions here," Kuzik reasoned.
