The Foreign Legion has been in the news recently and even the state Ukrainian media now can't ignore the allegations made.
It isn't all sunshine and rainbows.
Foreign Fighters have been a large talking point throughout the Russia and Ukrainian War as some say they're foreign fighters fighting for Independence and freedoms and others will say they're hired Mercenaries with some facing the death penalty in Russia and Russian Backed Donetsk Peoples Republic.

Fix your Russian bot problem and I'll consider it lmao
just start talking "ukraine is winning" and money will flow in
@@holeef...v2994 it's nice that just repeating the reality is also financially stable. Imagine having to lie for a living like the people who work for Russia
@@Max-kd2gh what s a difference for who you lie? You lie for west, they lie for east, you are both the same rly
Yall are being sacrificed in the name of 'The Heavenly Jerusalem project'
Nothing will kill you faster than an incompetent commander.
the russian army is a perfect example of bad leadership
Fix bayonets!!
That's got to be a Murphy's Military law
or a careless one...
@Dave was thinking the exact same thing.
Very demoralizing to be fighting with your life on the line, and seeing the team you are fighting for stealing, lying, and cheating.
Totally.
The Ukrainian goverment don't care about Ukrainians. The real problem for them is their government.
There's been quite a few Ukrainians vocally pissed about this as well. The Ukrainian government is on the look out for corruption because the corrupt are botching the war effort.
To be fair, it's not the team. Those are some specific corrupted members. A big difference. That said, yet you are right. That is demoralizing.
I recommend reading the classic WWII satire Catch - 22 by Joseph Heller. There's a character in there called Milo. He's an Air Force mess officer who capitalizes on the war to profit and enrich himself all the while styling himself as a patriot. He even does business with the Germans - I recall one chapter where he sold extra bombs to the allies for one mission to bomb some bridge - all the while having sold anti-aircraft munitions to the Germans defending that very bridge - getting a bonus for each allied aircraft shot down.
The author himself was a WWII veteran in the air force. It's hilarious as it is tragic.
Tbh if I went somewhere to fight as a volunteer and risk my life for zero benefit and I was treated like this, I'd say 'fuck that' and go back home.
I'd interview the team very, very carefully before joining one. It should also be selective as hell for accepting new members.
Being treated as Cannon fodder, corruption and tactical incompetence. Is it worth it?
Do you think your country would handle Russia better with the same resources as Ukraine? Or by now, would they already be calling you Ivan?
@@shonshishka877 Russia do not treat their soldiers like trash.. they take care of them..
@@vvinterghost are you drunk?
@@shonshishka877 NO , but what I say will not make you believe me, thats for sure.. because most of the people in Europe and US are so brainwashed and really believes in our leaders and media..
But people with at least something in the brain knows the truth and who are the bad and who are the good..
I bet you believe that Nordstream pipeline was sabotaged by Russia.
And you believe that We in west are the good once we are doing good with "helping" Ukraine with money and weapon.
And you are the one who believe that Russia is losing the war and We in west are doing EVERYTING for Democracy
@@vvinterghostare you sure on that , both side treat there soldiers like trash , you got Russian swap side help Ukraine
I am as Ukrainian is very upset by the fact of the corruption in our armed forces. Those thieves shall be court marshalled and executed if find guilty. To make an example to the other who are planning to steal.
yeah i get the feeling it's systemic not a problem of a few individuals.
Don't think they should, just put them in prison for years. This could backfire massively and make the pro Russia siders say see the put soldiers in prison or execute them.
@@braveheart4603 it's not otherwise the war would have been lost by now
>Those thieves shall be court marshalled and executed if find guilty.
NO YOU WON'T LMAO
your messiah Zelensky even released convicted criminal out of Prison and gave them guns, your side even executed/brutally shot Russian POW (which galvanized the Russian hatred in fighting) and many of them never got their punishment. what makes you think you think YOU WILL COURT MARTIAL YOUR OWN PEOPLE?
the mongolian basketweaving forum everyone call "4chan" even has a fitting mockery for your country; "the Russian-in-Denial country full of scammer"
You're whole country and culture is built on 90IQ petty gangsterism, it's a shame, Ukraine had so much potential as a go between nation, now it's going to be cut to pieces.
Oh wow, it turns out that war is not shooting at rebels in sneakers, in war it turns out that artillery and aviation can beat you for hours. 8)
They thought this is the middle east :)
welcome to the 2nd world
Unless you have a massive air advantage and flatten the enemy's stuff😂
If you look at footage in the middle east you can see military convoys and aircraft just freely sitting out or flying out in the open.
Occasionally one hit an IED. Russia is different they actually have artillery and ammo.
You can't beat Gorilla warfare when you have rules to war. If there was no rules... They would have leveled everything and everyone. That's the reality of the subject.
I was in Ukraine many times. It's just one of the most corrupted places I've ever seen. First lesson there was the corruption of the police. "Militzja jest koruptzja". But it's on all the level of the society. I ask me why we should die or risk to die for Ukraine. It's a no sense 1000%.
Agree 💯👍🏼
Yeah, corruption is a remnant from Soviet Times, at least that's my understanding. The whole ideological aspect of communism in reality just provides incentive for corruption. Supposedly corruption is not publicly acceptable the way that I used to be before the war, but you'd have to be regarded to believe that corruption just went away
@Legitpenguins99 my wife was born in Ukraine. I was there many times, since 2005. Corruption is a real problem in Ukraine. Do you really think that all the money that we are giving to Zelensky's regime is used to fight Russia? In the first line, ukrainians are always without stuff, while some ukrainians are around Europe driving BMW, Mercedes, and
Bentley and they are buying villas. How is it possible? I have my personal view. Corruption is blind and without heart. Our governments in Europe are simply crazy. They started a war against Russia, and now our economy collapses. They were able to grow up costs for energy and taxes and to open our countries to the risk of an atomic holocaust. That's insane. In the USA, people should learn something about Biden son's presence. Nobody can start a business there without accepting the corruption, like the official system. I say this because I have all the information to say that. Te rozumiesz?
tpenguins99 you joker. The EU is much more corrupt
@@Legitpenguins99 In Russia today, its hard to find corruption, Russia has done a great job to clean it up
I watched this in March 2023. I’d love to hear what your guest has to say now. You can hear just from how he talks that this is a very honest and objective account.
The interviews and footage you produce will survive you, Willy. They bring me real perspective, or at least, as much as I can have being where I am and who I am. I share your interviews with everyone I know (which isn't a lot), and they all comment on them when I do. Your work overcomes the youtube view count. I hope you keep at it for as long as you are able.
Thankyou my brother, I really do appreciate it mate
1.) Even in US command, stealing from other units to supply your own units (to fight with stolen equipment further on) in war conditions was not uncommon.
2.) This person assumes tha Ukrainians mostly steal to sell for money, not because they want their platoon to have the best equipment.
3.) Stealing from the armoury; yes, this is how many armies & cultures in the East Europe work - Russians are WAY worse.
4.) Some commanders of the Ukrainian army are dogshit - similar story in many other armies, especially Eastern European armies.
Where is this "unknown Ukraine Foreign Legion figher" from (which country, where did he serve/ work, so we can see what he's "accustomed" to, etc...)
I'm glad this is talked about, but the lack of a complete picture CAN paint a wrong picture to masses of amateurs, who are not aware how even actual developed (NATO) armies often work under pressure & in the field.
@@willyOAM Hi, someone should translate the 8 hour video presented here in this comment into Ukrainian and into Russian. For total intel on Putin watch the 8 hour TH-cam documentary "The Swiss Beast - Home of the Devil; Part 7 Switzerland's Sleeper Agent Putin" on TH-cam channel "HomieLand Sickurity" on the powers behind the screens explaining the endless lies of our leaders and their Pharaonic Swiss origins giving all the orders out of the Alps, where putting has all his money in a SwiSS bank, and where he has his girlfriend Alina Kabaeva together with their two Putin kids.

and NATO armies still kicks ass, because NATO standards are the only ideals we strive to & that EXACTLY WHY we kick ass.
Careful in ukraine mate talking about the stuff going missing etc stay safe man
Ukraine was corrupted for years and You cannot expect that this will change in one day. Even in one month or a year. Still I've met great people there and made some friendships. Assholes are everywhere. In every country. I do my job because what else can I do? Some people don't have time for this.
Jesus Christ... The forests. You could see some things in the urbanised places but the forests were... I cannot describe it.
ye these morons in the video like to make everything about corruption as if their own country isnt corrupted to the very core.
not to mention most of this is misinformation, i heard many foreign soldiers in ukraine with videos/photos evidence and their FACE on camera, and none of this was reported.
if he feels there is ''corruption'' in the chain of command, he should show his face and who he is, and report it to the Ukrainian goverment to sort it out immediately, not come and misinform bunch of sh1t about who is drunk and who is not, i seen more videos of drunken russian orcs than any Ukrainian out there.
Doesn't mean it can't be spoken of, been saying f×ck them since the beginning. We send them gear only for it to be sold on the black markets. The U.S. wont give up the country because its a hotspot for human trafficking
Well well well...corruption ate up Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam etc. before the final collapse. And westerners are naive to think that Ukranians are of european culture and hence reliable? The stupidity is amazing. :)
What do you expect you have Zelenski a cross dressing corrupt criminal the war is being used to take our money for the New World Order!!
War crimes?
The Z = Zed channel where you can always get your daily RuZZian news... Thought you were better than this Willy
This is important since I haven't really come across any serious talks about internal problems that isn't attributed to Russia. I know it's important to not light fires when the brush is dry (and Russians are looking for anything they can to hurt support for Ukraine) but I just really hope that Ukraine is not ignoring what it should be trying to fix before it hurts them long term
We’re going to find out after the war when all that IMF money disappears into the wind. As much as I’d like to believe the corruption thing will be worked out, in wars usually the best guys die and the corrupt ones survive.
Well said, I'm in the same boat. I hate it but I fully support Ukraine and that support also means calling out issues like this and addressing them transparently.
Corruption is like rust. It must be caught and dealt with harshly and immediately to prevent it becoming a much bigger problem
Being a Soviet Republic does that - It's still Russians fault, regardless.
@@topiasr628 So you support what ukraine has been doing in donbass for 8 years?
@@GermanConquistador08 what joke soviet longer exists 30 years but the people of Ukraine still the same this fact
i am so fkng ashamed of corruption in my country. it's all true what he says. just want to say that all this man described happened to ukrainian troops as well. not always, but even one time is already too much. initial Hostomel' defense was just a disaster. not even going into what happened down in Kherson. sorry for losses brothers and Thank You for your Sacrifice.
35th OBMP, Odesa.
Do not be embarrased. Ukraine was fighting to change, to be free and to be what it really is, a long time ago. And since he began to win that fight to free himself from Russian influence, that's when Mosco has decided to invade. Ukraine will not change overnight. It will take a while, a generation or two. But it's on the way. And that's what matters. Everything will be fine. Vse bude Ukraina! and I have suffered the incompetence of idiots. But I am sure that one day it will be better, because I know that there are people like you. Smrt okupantam!
When this war ends and over 1Mio people get demobilized, all of those who were affected by this kind of corruption will go back home with PTSD and access to weapons - and they will see all of the new cars that some adminstrators/commanders/Pharmacy owners will drive. They will come back and see the fancy vacations these people can take on social media, the new flats they bought etc. And they will know that most of that came in during the war and so was a result of corruption.
I am still outraged at how our initial medical supply (over 20k€) intented for a charkiw hospital in march got stolen/arrested at the border and then ended up in a few pharmacies in Lwiw.
I can not beging to imagie the rage that will unload itself onto these people after the conflict cools down...
I have few questions..
How does a country that is neighbour to one of world nuclear power, goes from being PRO Russian to Anti Russian in just one day?
How does a country with more then 40 million people elects a COMEDIAN with no political experience at all? How is that even possible? Elects a guy that is leading them into war with Russia? No matter the coast, that war should have been avoided, it is basically a doom for Ukraine, anybody that loves Ukraine wouldn't lead it into war with Russia, who would in their sane mind go to war with Russia. Not to mention that your two countries are bordering each other.
Americans waging war in middle east is nothing to compare to this, there were no wars on American soil recently, but America fought all the wars there were on international level.
That is the point, USA wants every other country in the world to fight each other, so the war doesn't come to their soil.
And while others are fighting, guess who will sell arms and ammo to both sides often.
Who is buying Russian gas for normal prices and then selling it to Europe for 2 or 3 times more?
This is just a roleplay game between few leading people in the world, and the ones who get hurt are ordinary people.
Ordinary people who elected a comedian and fell to American influence to go to war with Russia.
Its unbelievable what the media is doing, Maidan coup, how it all happened with just few people, but the power of Media has gone to insane levels nowadays.
That is so American, divide and conquer is their role model.
@@nenad7653 The first question: you first need to know what you are talking about. If your information is crap, if you don't speak Ukrainian or Russian and don't know Ukraine, then it's logical that you ask those questions. But parts of false premises fruit of Russian propaganda. Many years listening to Russian media in English but not a day listening to Ukrainian media. You don't know the history of Ukraine or anything at all. That's the problem. That is why they had said that there was a donkey there, and now you are surprised that she is a cow. You just don't know anything. How does each country choose the politicians it elects? Zelensky is a comedian, and he's very good, and very smart. Have you elected better politicians in your country? I don't think so. Macron in France had political experience? and many others in other countries? what are you talking about? And what are you talking about? Do you know what speech Zelensky won with? you don't know anything at all. It wasn't Zelensky who invaded Russia. He studies a little- Before speaking, study!. If you don't know what you're talking about, shut up. Are you going to avoid war with me at all costs? I am going to invade your country.... Russia invaded the Ukraine,
The entire world knows that Ukraine is the most corrupted country in Europe . Why are you surprised ?
For those involved in corruption it should be degradation to a private and straight into the frontline in a penal battalion.
The one thing to say about corruption is let’s not be blind and hypocritical. In Canada, for example, a functioning democracy with apparently no or little corruption, the $20m gathered through crowdfunding in support of the truckers is still being withheld illegally by the government a year later, and the peaceful protests itself was dispersed violently with guns. Also guns were planted by RCMP at Coutts , Alberta to discredit the protest movement. Corruption is a sin known to us all. So let’s be humble
Canada is a corrupt clown car ruled by authoritarian left wing goons....you have no free speech or free press to speak of and your government is pretty much owned by china.
Yeah but Canada went full Totalitarian in last 10 years… Jordan Peterson tried to warn the Canadians that once you start compelling speech with state violence that’s the end of a democracy…
We are ruled by a WEF monster who loves lsIam.
but the corruption your talking about doesnt bring death as a instant consequence there are some diffrences id say so no we should not be humble imo
These stories really give you a subjectively deep look into what's actually going on there. I appreciate Willy letting story being told even when it does not match his own agenda.
Wat hthe ingerview done by tucker carlson with general.....shit forget his name now but was 2/2024. He concurs a lot of the facts
Yeah these stories is comes from the good side and the only true source,you not even realising 1 way information,!
Another foreign fighter said about this exact subject. You can cry about it or do something about it. He did something about it...then cried about it when he got home lmao.
From a good friend, he also says the volunteers are used as cannon fodder, I can't imagine what it would be like going in with 10 and leaving with three..
No, you simply have no idea what it's like to wage war against a strong opponent. Your impression of war is like facing some natives in loincloths who have no clue about trenches and strongholds. I won't even bother telling you about artillery and 50,000 shots a day and everything else, because you won't sleep at night
go watch some actual footage of the war and see what people have to figth through , dont know who this man is and he doesnt sound like hes been in combat any bit reccently
@@jarryan2136 You can determine that by how somebody sounds??? Impressive.
@@waschberserker people who have been in combat do not have such a calm unphased and uneffprtless breathing . I'd doubt it after watching the people who have actually fought. Seen a lot of people pretending they were doing something
@@jarryan2136 Sorry, but this is simply not true. I have heard probably hundreds of people talk about their experiences in combat from different nations and different wars. Quite a few of them face-to-face. And my personal conclusion is that different people deal with their experiences very differently. Some talk about it in a very light, almost comical way, while others are obviously still distressed. Still others refuse to talk about it at all. There is absolutely no way that you could tell if someone has actually been in combat just by hearing them talk about it. Now, that is not to say that there aren't people out there who boast of things they never did or saw. But you cannot tell by how they breathe or talk.
You should know not to fight in a rich man's war....zero sympathy
From the perspective of wars in ex Yu, war isn't anything but a business venture. Johns, Ivans, Jovans, Hanses, Giovannis die in order for some people earn loads of money
Truest comment I read here!

@@elektrotehnik94 I dont disagree with what you say but there are 2 sides to the conflict - the political (why Russia invaded and why nobody is interested in negotiating peace) and the combat (Russia v the huge western trained and helped Ukrainian army) What your talking about is the second and all that matters is who is winning. If Ukraine is no different to any other force why are they loosing so badly given the massive advantages they have over the Russians?

Thank you from Ukraine, really appreciate your help and being honest, really gotta fix the corruption issues
@Ironium absolutely corrupted russia will fix smth? lol
@Ironium Bro, that is very dark. Russia is pretty corrupt as well. Pretty spicy though, I like it.
@Ironium when will Russia fix it? They're currently practicing long distance running.
@Ironium i guess recruiting criminals is helping?
@Ironium There was silence from the shelling because it never existed. 90% of the deaths were in 2014 when Russia attacked. Also Minsk agreement didn't go well because Putin decided when and where it didn't apply to him and basically chose for himself when it was convenient or not so that didnt help at all.
Use this as comment as a “damn that haircut is sexy” button
Ahhaha bring back the mullet
Great interview mate. This kind of content will keep you unique and relevant. Keep up the great work and look forward to the next one
Hahaha They 've stolen your gun!?
It is WAR - You eat with your gun, You sleep with your gun, You sh't with your gun. Over.
Now, go complain somewhere else.
I'm always solemn and kinda speechless after your videos mate. Complex world we live in.
Thankyou brother
It is not complex it is stupid!People just don't understand that evrithing is a weapon... evrithing from food (Yemen), nuclear plant,oil,gas...all of it! Stealing is apsolut normal in any war! I was in 3 wars and telling you the truth...what is US doing in Syria?Same, stealing oil...now we have a picture.
So, I'm going out on a limb and ask if you think that the reason that Germany is so slow to assist is the endemic corruption?
I made it as far as Warsaw in a failed attempt to provide civil assistance. Poles were cold towards me, Ukraine embassy acted like complete idiots towards my efforts so I dropped off my kit there and returned home. I'm interested in returning but for what I'm not too sure now.
The first friendly fire while in Afghanistan I'm fairly certain was a Ukrainian having fun.
Do you have any advice for the none combatants willing and able to serve?
p.s. an Australian coworker also took his turn with the jollies so we all had a great experience and an all around good time there.
Glad to have stumbled across your enlightened conversation here. Carry On!
what's the point of "1 million" potential soldiers if you don't have equipment for them and they don't have enough training..nothing just cannon fodder
They are indeed trained and various countries are participating in this. Initially, America was working on this in Ukraine itself. Now 10,000 troops are trained for every 4 months in England with help from other European countries. It is therefore currently not possible to sign up without combat experience or training because the waiting lists are full.
Will, while it is interesting and necessary to enlist the experiences of Ukraine fighters and mercenaries, does it not concern you that in the end your reports will seem like you are in an echo chamber? Why not enlist the experiences of the soldiers on the other side of the war, then let your viewers decide where the truth lies?
It’s not just Amnesty International that have levelled charges against the Ukrainian army. The UN investigation of charges of torture by the Ukraine army on the people of Donbass following the 2014 NATO sponsored coup, documented over 3000 reports of ordinary citizens being able to show credible evidence. Add to that reports where Patrick Lancaster went close to the front line and interviewed many survivors from the 2014 coup and the second phase in 2022.
As far as accusations against mass graves, why not interview independent Canadian reporter Eva Bartlett, who investigated those claims?
He does have a bias, slight but still there. He leans more on ukrains side in his vid though he tries to suppress it.
Listen to me. I'm fucking professionnal!! Soldier pride! Serious!
"Since the first invasion.."? Homeboy has had a LOT of smoke blown up his keister.
Form my perspective Ukrainian commands general r using Forieng legion has connon forder letting the legion take 25% 50% 80% of casualties in various squads
Hahahaha,,,Ukraine things they gonna beat Russia 😂😂😂,,,,HILARIOUS !!!
Lots died for absolutely nothing. Corruption is the norm in Ukraine.
Yeah, and they cant win the war . so they are really fighting for nothing
In chess somebody has to be a pawn. Might as well be foreigners.
The whole Ukraine is a pawn in a bigger picture game
Imagine starting a war against Russia 😮
Welcome to the meat grinder my good friend 😢
He seems to be lacking an understanding that Ukraine is fighting an alliance of all kinds of nationalities (but Russian speaking), where the professional Russian soldiers were not that many.
Btw Russia is not using ANY conscripts in Ukraine! Most of their regular army consists of professional soldiers. I think it's around 30% conscripts at most.
I see now that this clip is 4 months old and during that period the Russian commanders left most of the fighting to the Ukrainian militia forces fighting the regime for pure survival. Like the Luhansk and Donetsk militias. They were armed by Russia with heavy weapons and tanks. To be able to fight on equal terms, 100% volunteers of course who refused to give up their lands or lives for the Ukrainian ultra national regime. Banning all rival political parties and throwing their leaders in jail, banning all non state owned and approved media and creating a law banning the Russian language is not something I would volunteer fighting for. On the contrary, fascist states aiming to kill everyone they see as "subhuman" must be destroyed, exactly like when it came from Germany.
you're a bit wrong. the russians have considerably increased their presence in ukraine, including the infamous wagner group and the chechens. the role of the local militias has decreased.
I love this type of candid and honest interviewing and reporting that you do. Keep it up. Stay safe

@@elektrotehnik94 what you say is true. I think the reason why it’s so refreshing to see this type of reporting is because EVERYTHING in our western media is so ridiculously pro Ukrainian that they would never speak of or reveal any corruption or wrongdoing on the part of the Ukrainians. These interviews are not afraid to shed light on the strengths and weaknesses on both sides. This person did speak quite a bit of Ukrainian problems, however that would be his personal experience since that is who he is serving with. The little that he did know of the Russians he freely talked about. Sometimes we are also willing to speak more of a certain party’s weaknesses when people have wrongly made them out to have no wrongs. Just my view of it I guess.

1) You don't overequip (western) units which are way, way safer from any (even potential) attacks, while frontline units bleed out because they have few tourniquets = supply logic, so your argument is MISLEADING;
2) You DON'T steal from units ENGAGED IN COMBAT to equip your platoon that sleeps in the trenches all day long;
3) Don't you denigrate other armies (in the Eastern Europe) on armory theft - you get prosecuted for a few bullets in peace time! Conspiracy of higher-ranked officers could be a thing, but not lower-ranked officers who are directly responsible;
4) Again, keep your disrespect for Eastern Europe to yourself - dogshit commanders can survive in an Eastern army if you consider the way they may treat subordinates or have battleplans carried on, BUT NOT the ones that consistently sacrifice personnel and material, just to get a "genius victory".

@ Andy c. 'Bout time someone got-up enough honesty to state the actual truth about "mercs." I know lots of them at the VFW's, a vet myself. There's just nothing that makes life more truly meaningful than "kicking ass" with all your best buddies.
Why don’t You guys understand that Ukraine was never a country, they don’t have national pride, national unity. They are not cohesive nation. Over 50% of people there speak Russian language as mothers tongue, they do not support independence. Everybody for himself that the way of common belief and thinking. My mother live in our family farm about 11 kilometres from border crossing at Zosin-Uściług at the road to Hrubieszów, all that road is full of lined up second hand and often brand new cars being sold all over Europe for Ukrainian buyers payed with stolen American money. That is the reality. My family is renting our barn and two other buildings to Ukrainian “business man” for storage of their equipment, who knows what they are storing in there, we never ask, they pay without bargaining. Truck are coming and leaving day and night.
Stop lying and spreading propaganda. You are an obvious Putin supporter. Most people in Ukraine support independence. Ukraine has been under the Russian (First the Russian Empire), the USSR colonization for 500 years. Russia was making everybody speak Russian. Russia issued like 130 documents to forbid the Ukrainian languages, was putting people in prison. Russia has always been saying people who speak their native languages are rednecks. Russia made a lot of nations on the continent learn Russian. They didn't want it
It's in Russia where they teach in universities propaganda saying the Ukrainian language doesn't exist. It's bull**t
Must be a Russian troll? You can have corruption and still be a country. If there is a lack of cohesion, it's because of Russian-backed separatists sabotaging those efforts. Ukraine has made great efforts to root out corruption, but its hard to do that when much of your corruption is anchored in Russia! You know what is most telling that Ukraine is a real country? When Russian snuck into Crimea to steal it from Ukraine -- common Ukrainians were making Molotov Cocktails and arming themselves with hunting rifles or anything they could. Funny, how you don't see or hear about Russian civilians doing that when Ukraine entered Kursk.
Riiiight. I'm sure Britian said the same thing about America... And as far as not having national pride or unity, apparently they do; Enough for a tiny, weak military to stand strong against a nation who claims their military is on par with the west.
Man, this soldier sounds like he is about to break. This war is crazy.
@Challo This is the first true good vs evil war since WW2. If you don't understand the moral justifications and obligations these volunteers for Ukraine have without having them explained to you, you never will. It's obviously not about the shitty pay.
@@sata1938 spoiler alert ukraine is the bad guy
@@sata1938 Funniest shiet i read all day. There is no ''good VS evil'' in war. War is a continuation of a political agenda. Putin considered NATO expansion a threat to Russia and so he attacked before he was, in his mind, encircled.
Whatever the reason volunteers may have to fight, there is no right side in the war except for one's subjective opinion of what a ''right side'' is.
@@van-sx1332 How can you call NATO "expansion",? Countries willingly join defence alliance to protect their borders, noone forces them. If putin wants countries to ally with russia maybe he has to change tactics of pilliging and forcefully connecting them to the russian world.
And as you heard in the video, the man's reason to fight is to stop russia in ukraine rather than in his own country. He didnt choose the side he was forced in this war.
@@sata1938 Even WW2, how in the world was a fight between Hitler and Stalin good vs evil, when we all know they were both insane psychos who could care less about civilians or their own soldiers? At least here Zelenskiy and Putin are somewhat more restrained when it comes to killing civilians, thank god.

Not always. Putin is spitting pure lies made up from nothing on a daily basis
Great interview, thanks.
Nobody forced theses vets too fight for Ukraine, I think via combat experience in Iraq and Afghanistan these soldiers thought conflict level combat was what all out war looked like and expected western level of support air and ground when in reality this is all out war with no boundaries with never experiencing heavy artillery used against them tanks against them and you're not a natural speaker this is pretty much a suicide mission . Too not be it would take a ton of time and language familiarizing and group tactics too combat the specific threats and also understand this isnt a nato army its a fight to the finish you gotta expect this too be the last mission every mission. Im not crapping on them just saying easy facts same was for iraiqi national guard working with the U.S they couldn't work together for anything . At least they helped the best they could
I just got back and trust me don’t go. The Ukraine FL and other units will use you as cannon fodder. Based on no intel, no reports, no backup, no armour, no tactical response. It’s about walking in a straight line until you fall. That’s what they expect. More planned ops, run by the SF guys from the states is what is needed. Those guys you can learn so much from. They have been fighting for the past 21 years and have not only the knowledge but they know how to plan ops.

im russian and i have friends fighting , but i told yall from very beginning you'll know who youre dealing with - ukranians . Elon Musk spent hundreds of millions of his own money , but as soon he said something about peace talks he became the enemy . you help them and theyll come next time looking at it that your help is granted . the next time try not to give it to them ... they were given 50% of soviet black sea fleet . they had 2800 military planes and in cruise missiles they were 2nd in the world behind the us only . they sold all of it . they dont even have a fleet ( ramming rc seadoos with explosives into docked ships like its going to change something ) . So they sold everything soviet what they inherited and when russia stopped giving theyre the enemy . i feel bad for the guys that are forcibly brought there and how much they lie to you on western tv about bucha , about personnel count ( kia) , how they shoot down 10 kinzhals ( never was intercepted , not once ... missiles half of kinzhal speed were never intercepted by patriot like soviet kh22 for example ) . if you are a soldier youre a piece of meat . in russia youre steak bone , in america youre a fillet minion and in ukraine youre rotted pork chop .. theres no difference , still meat .. military of any country use you and spit you out to suffer the rest of your life , thats why in the usa by official statistic 22 of the vets kill themselves or 1 every 67 minutes in average i believe . and if youre a soldier ( whatever side or a cause youre fighting for nowadays ) if theres no children of politicians with you in the trenches , then its not a war , its business plain and simple ...

Right? You folks surely have a huge monopoly in this niche market, surely!

These videos -are an interesting counterpoint- _provide context_ to stories telling of Russian troops being unprofessional.
It would be logical to assume that foreign volunteers and untrained civilians volunteers in the opening stages of the war would be attached to lower priority reserve units with little or no real training _and_ an officer corps with no front line experience. _The Russians face a similar situation_

Why can't both armies be having a hard time
From what I have seen the really professional infantry russia still employs from what ive seen on russian telegram channels are special ops. Really highly equipped and effective troops. Top notch night vision equipment and IR sightings. So theyre mostly used to clean enemy camps along the frontline at night. Thats the reason so many ukrainian trenches have dogs running around as a warning alarm as they dont have any NV equipment except if donated
Should have IR drone lookout at night....
Bro... I’ve seen many Ukrainian fighters with quads. The $60k night vision goggles. I haven’t seen a single Russian or SOF Russian operator with a pair of quads.
But for what I have seen and in relations to the video the foreign fighters do get treated like shot by Ukraine:
Just about the only infantry that even trains at all that Russia has ever had is SOF. They just don't have very many of them, especially not now when Alfa has gotten chewed up.

True. Too many hosts continue to interrupt with their own opinions.
Well well well...corruption ate up Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam etc. before the final collapse. And westerners are naive to think that Ukranians are of european culture and hence reliable? The stupidity is amazing. :)
Even though Russia and Ukraine are two different countries the peoples mentality seems to be the exactly the same. Sloppy mess of logistics, terrible commanders and so much corruption on both sides its mad.
Up until 8 years ago both countries operated on the same wavelength.
Soviet mindset.
That's not exactly true. All post soviet countries suffer from corruption to a degree. Even Slovakia, part of EU.
The mindset is way different between russ and Ukrainians - Ukrainians are great farmers, cultivators, they are way more in tune with nature and the people.
russians on other hand... well I'd rather not comment. Just the fact they bought the 'denazification argument' shows how poor the education in russia is. Free speech is non existent and freedom of expression goes as far as it serves the country interest.
I've been to Ukraine for entirety of May, also imterviewed the Legion, some foreign soldiers, some volunteers - corruption is an issue, yet the effort volunteers put in is literally INSANE. I know guys who on their own money drove back and forth to Odesa, Adiivka and Donbas to resupply civilians and aid with rescues. I'd love to see how russians would fight and endure such pressure.
Every foreign soldier I spoke with told me that the most incredible thing is Ukrainians toughness and resolve - they have not seen such in Afganistan nor Syria.. neither USA. A sight to behold.
@@Jupexy I agree, they are trying to remove that mindset from the country but still have older people with that mindset and some are in leadership positions. It takes time.
The international legion is part of rhe national guard of ukraine, not the army. Most of national guard cadre have no fighting experience and lots of them were recalled for the war after been forcefully retired in 2014/15 du to corruption and incompetence so what he is telling is no surprise. Army units are a different story

The civilized came in second. No use wasting your best.

Why the hell is he going back to a war we on the west made happen and are in control of and are losing badly why don't even any of them ask themselves who are the bad guys this time we on the west told Ukraine to not sign the original peace agreement

Correct ... I call Bravo Sierra
hello from France, I guess all armies are the same all over the world when it comes to people in charge of guns and equipment, there is always one starting a black market on the side and stealing all kinds of stuff to sell them to whoever wants it. It doesn't mean that all Ukrainian officers are thieves and the all army is corrupt. On the battle side comments, the same applies in all armies, not all commanders are efficient on the ground, some might have never seen a battleground before February, your rank isn't a guarantee that you are good in tactics or even just managing units on the ground. A high-ranking officer can be good while in charge of the logistics for a full regiment, food, clothing, bedding and so on, it doesn't mean that in time of war he can't be sent to the front to command units, I would hardly trust him in terms of tactics. Some Russian officers seem to have been killed by their own troops because they were useless and didn't care about their own guys, shit like that also happens everywhere in the world during wars, the one Ukrainian officer stealing guns might face the same fate one day. Keep on the good work, thanks to both of you.
The problem is that the heavy arms flows into Ukraine and their entrance into the black market means these weapons are now reportely ending up in conflict zones in the Middle East and Africa . Too these weapons in Ukraine and larger Europe are going to be in the hands of the right wing white nationalists loons who may use these weapons to terrorize Europe. Guns , anti tank missiles, etc are easily transportable in a car boot. If you think the Americans take a responsible view of how this will play out, think again.
@@kevinjohnson9533 hey from France I understand what you say, the same AK 47 in Africa might have been used from Angola to Mozambique, stopping in Rhodesia at a certain point, then moved up to East and Central Africa 20, 30 years later. When you say that the weapons have been "reportedly " ending in different countries, have you seen any evidence of that? At some point, people were saying that these weapons were sold to Russia but nobody has shown proof of that. When we were in Lebanon in 1978 within the UN troops, we were used to buying weapons from basic groceries or just by asking a policeman in the street if he wanted to sell his own gun, everything was available and it had nothing to do with the "black market", it was done in the open, kind of part of the culture, that's it. We fixed and "borrowed" an M113 in Tyr, painted the vehicle in white with UN in blue on the side, mounted one of our machine-gun on top of it, used it down south of Lebanon for 6 months... it helped us a lot to "ease up" some conflicts peacefully. Unfortunately, nowadays, you'll find AKs, coming from Eastern Europe years before this war started, in the hands of gang members/drugs dealers ( not right-wing nationalists) in some of our cities, they use them to shoot each other over drugs territories and scare the police if they dare coming in their neighbourhood. Don't put the blame on the US only, weapons are coming from so many countries, and there are more Russian or Chineese made weapons on the black market than American, French or German ones, by far.
@@philippelorin2601Really excellent points Phillippe. I based what I said on a youtube video of an interview with journalist scholar Vijay Prashad he said Ukro arms are ending up in the Middle East and Africa if I understood him correctly.

At the moment it seems like you are spreading almost entirely defeatist views. Im not saying to cover up if something goes wrong, but at least keep it balanced
You are counting on these forces that Russia, the Russian Federation, has included in the fighting, for them it is not even a war, but a Spec. Military Operation. What will happen if Russia declares a state of war and mobilization of the first degree, indicating that no embargo can destroy it, the Russian Federation is able to survive the most imminent nuclear war and to continue the fight. It is totally independent energetically, it is a big country and it is economically independent, it has huge quantities of fuel, oil, gas, coal in reserve, huge iron factories, nuclear power plants, thousands of gigantic factories, hundreds of gigantic iron factories. They produce everything from the bolt to the Space Shuttle. They are far ahead of the West in missile armament, as well as in anti-missile and total anti-aircraft defense. The hypersonic missiles they have are ahead of the West for a hundred years. The most unfortunate thing is that the media of the Western world lie so much that it is a crime, that's why the young people go to Ukraine to die, both those with and without military experience, to be sent to their deaths in Ukraine by various dubious types of commanders without the slightest knowledge of war. Such commanders are not benefited by any victory, but by filling their own pockets with millions and when the moment comes, they will disappear in the USA and there he will be presented as a guest hero at the universities and talk about the fight against the terrible Russians, and the place to answer that he sent thousands of people to their deaths and stole everything he could, everything the west sent that was valuable. Those in command have enormous ignorance and the ego is even bigger, the biggest thief and it's like that from corporal to general. They don't value the lives of Ukrainian soldiers, let alone foreign volunteers or mercenaries, such people are sent directly to their deaths.

this is why in april 2022, 17 fins and 2 americans quit the legion all together from one company alone. piss poor leadership, half the volunteers were completely clueless and worthless, and another thirty percent had giant egos that their skills didnt reflect. also, i saw guys kicked out of the legion for daring to ask wtf.
Look dude, the Russians and Ukrainians both come from soviet legacy of tactics. What did you expect?
Corruption is much more prevalent in US than in any Eastern European country, it is literally Oligarchy in a very true sense of the world.
It's funny to hear arguments that if there is corruption in Ukraine (which the author personally encountered), then in Russia it is much more (which the author has not encountered, but draws conclusions only because he wants to).
Why would? I worked in real estate for many years, both there and there. And I will say this - in Russia there is much more order, and much less corruption. I am sure that this rule applies to all other areas.
By the way, the author allows himself to make many arguments based on nothing. These are personal judgments, generated by the propaganda that I hear every day, and not personal experience.
In Ukrainie foreign legion one of the commander was a polish criminal who was hinding under ukrainian identity i think he was by now arrested
ukrainian army suffers from soviet style army organization. thats where this incompetence coming from. i also dont belive that this problems and corruption happens on massive scale. there are interviews i have seen from different foreign soldiers saying that its not bad and corruption was hugely decreased after war started 6 months ago.
yeah sure. They copying their western backers who lead them down the primrose path. now their reaping the benefits of being a western puppet like all that came before.
this war started in 2014 fyi.
They are trained by Nato
its in the Russian and Ukrainian psyche to be like this.
Corruption has to decrease if Ukraine is going to join the EU
check out a few interviews by Lindsey Snell on the same subject, who receives a lot of hate for reporting this other side (nobody said it's impartial to focus on that), however it needs talking about. Aid distribution and corruption in Ukraine sounds horrific and there is a very loose grip on democracy there right now, silencing anyone who speaks on these issues. It is quite sickening really... this issue needs solving ASAP and imagine one thing if you think people support russia when giving this opinion, imagine you joined your own country's armed forces, and they made you fight using your own vehicle and body armour, and all expenses and repairs were your responsibility? Where did these billions go to help people drive cheap 4x4 civilian vehicles on the frontline, that they don't have to buy THEMSELVES. Credits for covering this, it needs widely discussing ASAP....
It goes to the professional army and not volunteer/Independent units lmao.
You realize those loans arent cash money right? It’s military equptment given worth that much. Not that much cash to spend where they want. They’re just given old munitions and charged for it.
@@ROTG22 well it’s certainly a combination of things but if you watch this video many contracts get corrupted with local officials and the equipment is going missing and being stolen... same outcome mate
@@ROTG22 government wages are paid with US tax dollars and the Zelensky government just approved a 70% pay rise for themselves
