Ukrainian serviceman repairing military vehicles that operate on Ukraine’s northern border with Russia say that the equipment is old and it is ‘unreal for it not to break’.

When the Russian invasion of Ukraine began in February 2022, Ukraine’s military fought back with the equipment it had on hand: Soviet-era aircraft, tanks, armoured vehicles and artillery, and a scattering of Western-supplied weapons such as Javelin anti-tank missiles.

Ukraine has been seeking hundreds of modern tanks to form what President Volodymyr Zelenskiy called a “fist of freedom” that could give its troops the firepower to break Russian defensive lines and reclaim occupied territory in the south and east.

The unit has servicemen that underwent training abroad and is ready to work with foreign-made equipment, said Serhii Naiev, Commander of the Joint Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Zelenskiy said in November that Ukraine’s defensive constructions needed to be boosted and accelerated in the regions of Volyn, Rivne, Kyiv, all bordering with Belarus, as well as Kharkiv, Sumy and Chernihiv bordering with Russia.

  8. To be honest the Russians have it worse in many areas , beset by a lack of rear maintenance, as for the soldiers themselves carrying out the required daily tasks on their equipment and vehicles ? then add in the corruption.

  11. Để chiến thắng kẻ thù xâm lược thì UKRAINA nên xem clip nga nó đăng và nó tiêu diệt lính Ukraina. Ukraina nên tập kích bất ngờ với lối đánh du kích bất ngờ và hạn chế sử dụng xe tăng. Nên tập trung vào việc đào tạo thật nhiều vào việc đào tạo lính điều khiển máy bay không người lái ném bom và tiêu diệt kẻ thù trên trận địa. Bởi thế thượng phong hiện tại và lâu dài là ở máy bay không người lái ném bom và săn lùng toàn diện kẻ thù xâm lược đất nước ukrain để tiêu diệt bọn chúng,nhất là pháo binh nga với bọn và bọn lái máy bay không người lái ném bom của kẻ thù. Có như vậy thì sẽ không tổn thất binh sĩ Ukraina. Và đừng bao giờ quên tấn công liên tục vào thành phố đông dân cư của nga và tất cả mọi thứ của kẻ thù

  14. Ukrainians doing incredible well given the majority of post Soviet (garbage) equipment they've managed keep going with a little or No equipment promised by West as yet..

  15. According to UN data, 165 million children worldwide are too small for their age, or stunted, due to chronic malnutrition. Three quarters of these children live in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. In sub-Saharan Africa, 40% of children are affected; in South Asia, 39%.

    3.2 million children under the age of 5 die each year in sub-Saharan Africa – that's about half of the world's deaths in this age group.

    Worldwide, nearly every second death in children under the age of five is due to malnutrition.

  32. The world pretends not to realize that the war is not just against Ukraine. It is against all of Europe, Democracy and against the Civilized World. Pretense out of pure laziness and cowardice. The Planet will still pay dearly for this.

  33. If you think that's bad imagine being a Russian mechanic and having to turn a Soviet-era tank stored outside from 1960 into a working vehicle and then maintaining it through combat.
