Apr 28, 2025

Combat service support units of the Zapad Group of Forces employ FPV drone to deliver MREs, drinking water, and other supplies to the forward positions.

🫡 Servicemen of the Lublin Tank Regiment assigned to the 144th Motorised Rifle Division have delivered over five tonnes of supplies by air.

🤝 Every day, UAV pilots conduct dozens of flights to the line of contact in order to support storming soldiers. Thus, lives of the personnel are saved as supplies had been delivered by motor vehicles before.

🏳️ Captured serviceman of Armed Forces of Ukraine tells about recruitment company in Ukrainian army: 'They're taking everyone: disabled, insane, blind'

According to POW Ruslan Roshva, even women from prisons were targeted by forced mobilisation.

'They took about 20 women from prisons and trained those people,' recalls Rovsha.

At the same time, the Ukrainian army has the same attitude towards both men and women. For the commanders, they are just fresh meat to restore a shortage in defence. Therefore, the Ukrainian instructors did not pursue the goal of training anyone during the so-called training but only enjoyed by mocking their personnel.
