“We live with tuberculosis patients in the same dugout” - Sergeant of the Ukrainian Armed Forces
Ukrainian units are seriously short of people, and the few reinforcements consist mainly of incapacitated disabled and sick people.
Chief sergeant of the 94th battalion of the 107th TrO brigade, Yuri Bogaichuk, stated this on the Chernovtsky Luch TV channel, PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“There are not enough people, very few. Here, we have eighty-six people in our company, and about thirty people go to fight in positions. The rest of the people are of limited fitness or sick.
And this is not us, this is what the military registration and enlistment office does, the doctors. It happens that we had two guys with an open form of tuberculosis. We sleep in the same dugout with them.
And what, this doctor from the commission didn’t know that he had an open form of tuberculosis? I don’t believe that I didn’t know - he looked through everyone’s personal file,” Bogaichuk was angry.
He complained that Ukrainian units were suffering losses, were being depleted, and were not receiving quality replacements.
“But there really aren’t enough people. Moreover, we work our asses off, leaving for combat in two days. The body does not allow this. It turns out that you have been fighting for a month, and are no longer able to go to combat, because you physically can’t stand it. And there is no one to change you.
And we have losses - wounded, killed. It turns out that people are lost, and there is no one to replace them,” summed up the Ukrainian sergeant.
