And today they sent us to the company people, among whom there are those who have never fired a weapon in their lives and have not undergone any training at all.
They spent five days somewhere in the Sumy region, after which they were immediately sent here, to the Bakhmut direction.
They were given machine guns, but the people don’t even know how to load magazines.
But that’s not all. Here, next to me, stands a person who has five children, five, and a sick father.
Yet they sent her here.
Translated into English
The original
I wonder why the person who sent her here didn’t come here themselves.
Why don’t our military commissariats catch the rich, the deputies, the officials, or their children,
but instead catch these simple guys who don’t have the means to bribe their way out?
Why? Why do they grab such a guy and immediately send him here?
While they sit in their military commissariats, lining their pockets with bribes.
Meanwhile, Deputy Defense Minister Anna Malyar claims
that we don’t have people going to the front without proper training.
What do you mean we don’t? Here, next to me, is a person with five children, a sick father,
no training, and has never fired a rifle in her life.
Tell me, how were you mobilized?
In the morning, I was riding my bicycle to work at 7:10.
A police car stopped me, and the military filled the car with fighters in the city
and took me to the military commissariat.
From the commissariat, I was sent to the Bakhmut direction,
without any training, without anything.
That same day, shelling started.
And we survived.
It’s true because we were basically nearby.
On the very first day, a person who was sent here without proper training
came under mortar fire and miraculously survived.
I wonder who would be held responsible for this person,
who was sent straight to the Bakhmut direction without proper training,
and who has five children.
No one would be held responsible.
Tell me, how many children do you have?
Five.
Five children.
You said you have five children?
Yes, I even wrote it on paper.
What did they say to you about that?
Nothing.
They just said nothing and sent the person to the Bakhmut direction like that.
Having been at war for over a year now and seeing everything from the inside, what’s happening here.
I want to tell you, dear Ukrainians, that they don’t tell you even one percent of the truth
about what’s happening here.
They tell and show you what they need and what’s convenient for them.
But the reality is completely different, entirely different.
And over the past month, I’ve completely changed my opinion and perspective on this war.
This war is a big geopolitical game of the powerful,
where Ukraine and Ukrainians are just pawns.
