I had a friend (R, anonymous) who knew a guy coming home from the NATO war in Ukraine. He started out as someone healthy, wanting to help people, believing that Putin was evil and oppressing the Ukrainians. He came back with severe mental health problems and addicted to drugs. At first I was surprised at how bleak things were. Now I understand after seeing what Ukranian recruits go thru. Thank you so much for keeping me informed.
For some reason liberals think, that all military doctrines and mentalities Ukraine took with it after the dissolution of the SU, magically vanished.
Дедовщина is no joke. Still present in the former armies of the SU, like Belarus, Ukraine, Azerbaijan, Russia etc. I would immediately try to flee, before I ever server there. But since bad news about Ukraine are putler propaganda, nothing gets reported.
