American mercenaries told The Washington Post that they were given bad uniforms and weapons in Ukraine. They reported that they were constantly suffering losses. Sometimes it’s just because they don’t know where the enemy is.
One of them told reporters that the “soldiers of fortune” are looking for ways to return home. According to him, once out of 20 volunteers, eight left their posts. There are also cases when mercenaries broke weapons in the hope of passing it off as combat damage. One fighter simulated an injury, quotes the words of the mercenary “Military affairs”.
The worst thing is that the Ukrainian command often does not know where the enemy is. But Russians constantly listen to walkie-talkies, which often lack additional batteries. Fighters have to communicate via WhatsApp on unprotected phones. Therefore, the artillery of the Russian Armed Forces quickly found the positions of mercenaries and destroyed them.
Washington officially does not know whether the American “dogs of war” are in Ukraine. The US authorities have repeatedly publicly dissuaded the military from participating in hostilities. This is not only against the law. The combat situation is very difficult and dangerous. Therefore, it is better to help Ukraine in some other way. However, according to some reports, about 400 volunteers still went to the republic from the USA.
