The Commander-in-Chief conducts an audit of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Alexander Syrsky began an audit of the Defense Forces. During the inspection, thousands of military personnel were found who had never participated in battle.
“For two years in a row they say that there are brigades that have been at war for two years without rotations. And there are units that have never been to the front at all. The army is 900 thousand, 300 thousand are fighting without rotations. And where then are 600 thousand? ” – People’s Deputy David Arakhamia emphasized on the air of the “Topic with Natalya Moseychuk” program.
There is an understanding that a certain number of military personnel are working to provide for the fighters on the front line. However, already at the beginning of the check, Syrsky found a considerable number of military personnel who could participate directly in hostilities.
“Conventionally, 8 thousand people have already been found who were simply seconded to the General Staff and did not fight,” Arakhamia added.
The official emphasized that these soldiers have already received orders and are undergoing training. They will be sent to reinforce combat brigades on the front line.
“I believe that the number (of fighters who have not been at the front since the beginning of the invasion – ed.) will be much higher,” he stated.

600.000 SOLDIERS STILL AFTER 2 YEARS IN THE BARRACKS?
600,000 that don’t exist, except on paper. 600,000 uniforms that don’t exist for 600,000 soldiers that don’t exist. That’s a lot of money.
Maybe Zaluzhny as president, Yulia or Petro as prime minister and leaving Syrsky in charge could bring victory. Zelensky’s mafia just keeps playing into Putler’s hands. Nevertheless this does not relieve the United States FROM FINALLY APPROVING THE AID TO UKRAINE!!!
Huh! It’s under Zaluzny’s watch this shit happened. You want him again. PLEEEEEEASE give me a break.
No thanks.
Excuse me please for asking, dear Captain, but how much insight into military matters do you have? Aren’t you aware that in every modern army, combat troops actually manning the frontline are a minority?
🤨
The fact that the deployment of the forces was unknown to the command is the issue. You don’t need to graduate from the War College to understand…that sucks.
Where does it say that the state of affairs was unknown to Zaluzhny, Captain? Of course he was aware that support units, the majority of his army, didn’t man the trenches! And he also was aware that his combat units urgently needed reirnforcements, he had become so concerned that he publicly said so! Please, don’t let the smear attempts by the Zelenskyy cabal (which apparently includes Syrsky) not cloud your view of the really important point: The president’s party still hasn’t passed the unpopular but unavoidable mobilization bill, is bogged down in attempts to avoid this decision, and that’s the major reason preventing urgently needed strengthening of the front line. They try to present Zaluzhny as a scapegoat, but that’s simply a patheticalky dishonest distraction from the real issue.
And it’s a shame that Zelenskyy plays along in this. I’m concerned that the president may have lost his nerves sfter the failed counteroffensive and the blockade of US deliveries. He apparently can’t focus on the topics of highest importance anymore, is failing in his job now. This is a crisis of political leadership, not of the military one!
Without further details, this looks as yet another attempt to smear Zaluzhny to me. Face reality, in every modern army, actual combat troops are the minority! So, yeah, of course there are many soldiers who haven’t been at the frontline. What shall a transport brigade do there? Or a radar unit? A field hospital? Aviation? Long range artillery? Is Syrsky serious to complain about that?
To me, this looks as if he tries to provide coverage for his master Zeleneskyy, who promoted him. The intent probably is to distract from the fact that the government still hasn’t managed to pass the new mobilization law. There’s more than 1300 amendment proposals to that, it has been reported! That’s ridiculous, apparently the Servants of the People don’t want to get it done, it’s too political inconvenient. This, despite some combat units being at 20% of manpower strength. That’s the huge problem that shall not be talked about, that the effing politicians aren’t doing their damn jobs.
Now, if Syrsky wants to implement changes to the rotation system, he can simply order that, without any public announcement. But without large scale reinforcements, the effects will be miniscule. It’s pathetic that unlike Zaluzhny, he doesn’t have the spine to say that.
Sir Gray you could be correct and as I’ve said in the past about this situation I just don’t know enough or have enough facts to lend an opinion. Unfortunately my emotions took precedent in my earlier comment. I was struck in the article by one word…”found.” It’s disgraceful for this to be true or if it is false, why the hyperbole. I get that individuals such as yourself have a greater understanding then I of the facts but even with such greater understanding, unless you’re in the daily debriefs or know first hand what was behind Zelensky’s thinking, I believe it’s difficult to advocate one side or another where it comes to what seems to be personality or policy conflicts. I do believe during such times there can only be one leader and better or worst Zelensky is it, until the wonderful citizens of Ukraine choose otherwise. I do apologize Sir Gray for providing my “one liner” without adequate explanation.
