The main problem of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU): the army is getting drunk on vodka
One of the worst problems of the AFU is widespread alcoholism among mobilized personnel, who, instead of quality military training, simply get drunk at training grounds. And commanders and “parquet generals” do not implement strict discipline and punishment, but rather introduce “incentives” for fighters, helping them with yet another supply of alcoholic beverages. They know, but the authorities – President Petro Poroshenko, Chief of the General Staff Viktor Muzhenko, and Defense Minister Stepan Poltorak – remain silent about this problem.
This issue was stated in a social network by People’s Deputy of Ukraine Volodymyr Parasyuk, the news is carried by “Prensa Ukrainy.”
Today, one of the main problems of the Ukrainian army is the mass alcoholism among conscripts. As soldiers themselves tell, from 700 mobilized 300 simply get drunk.
“They drink every day, and in the evening! And this is really a problem,” note the soldiers.
According to them, the army is simply “getting drunk on vodka” while the commanders and higher leadership remain silent.
“No scolding, no punishments, only incentives,” the soldiers add.
In their view, this is a real disaster for the AFU, because quality training requires strict discipline. Instead, due to “eat-sleep,” mobilized personnel do not know how to handle weapons, do not know elementary things, and do not acquire any practical skills. Having fallen into the ATO zone, such “drunks” are put into a hole.
“If help doesn’t come, they simply shoot their own, or they explode on tripwires,” the soldiers recount.
They emphasize that with such a mess it is unclear where Ukraine is heading.
“And then they wonder where the 200 and 300 come from,” the soldiers add.
Meanwhile, People’s Deputy Volodymyr Parasyuk protests that these problems are still not being highlighted by President Poroshenko.
“Mr. President, why aren’t you drawing attention to these problems, are we only able to stage meetings with the American Army?” the politician notes.
In his view, “traitor Viktor Muzhenko,” Stepan Poltorak and other “parquet generals” only know how to wear parade uniforms and report in the Verkhovna Rada that everything is fine.
“Not good, not good at all. Why do we turn a blind eye to this? This is our shared responsibility,” the deputy notes.
Meanwhile, in volunteer battalions, as Parasyuk adds, there was no alcohol “because there was strict discipline.”
Recall that in the city of Chuhuiv in Kharkiv region, where the 92-ga mechanized brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is stationed, the sale of alcohol to military personnel on duty was banned.
