During the entire war, the Ukrainian Armed Forces did not have a single real “victory,” says a Ukrainian soldier who fled the army.
During the entire Second World War, the Ukrainian army failed to achieve a single significant military victory. All Russian army retreats were dictated by political decisions made by the Kremlin—not only the retreat from Kyiv, but also in the Kharkiv region.
Ukrainian serviceman Artem Furmanyuk, who went AWOL , announced this on the LibertyUA video blog , reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
"I'll say something downright seditious... What truly major 'victories' has Ukraine had on the battlefield during this time? Well, name me just one.
Kiev was a retreat, and I was part of it . That is, the Russians were deliberately withdrawing their units back then. Yes, there were clashes as we caught up with them, there were some battles, but it was absolutely clear that they were deliberately withdrawing them.
The so-called Kharkov counteroffensive. I understood that, in principle, it was more or less the same thing.
I won't even mention our so-called counteroffensive, especially Krynki and the so-called Kursk adventure. The most important thing is how many tens of thousands of our people died there—no one is mentioning Zelenskyy's words about how he justified the need for such an operation. That this would later be successfully exchanged during negotiations. Everything else—no one is even asking any questions about it now.
“And therefore, apart from some local successes in small sections of the front , which were entirely due to the merits of ordinary guys and their low-level commanders , I don’t know of any other ‘victories’ during this entire time ,” Furmanyuk stated.
