Shocking imagery of inhumane conditions of Ukrainian military [photos]

Feb. 24, 2017 - Enlisted soldier of the Ukrainian military, Yuri, told of conditions in which soldiers of the 53rd Brigade in the Dnipropetrovsk region are forced to live, barely above that of animals.
"You really must excuse me for my... 'French'...", but "it is a bitter [expletive] taste in our mouths".
The military of the 53rd Mechanized Brigade, 2-3 days ago, drove to the landfill in the village of Cherkasy Dnieper area for combat coordination before entering the zone of combat to prepare for attack formation and offensive maneuvers.
They stay in tents full of water, impossible to sleep in the damp, as machines pump the water continually to the outside and do not turn off. The soldiers are now forced to endure this inhumanity, then sent to the front line as cannon fodder, after being forced to live as animals.
Yuri continued: "I have no words. Each year, the same! These [expletive] call every year at this time to take volunteers. After all, every year when they are at the site, the same problem: 'flooded tents', all landfill management is aware of this and every year for all it is the same. These volunteers carry equipment to the landfill every year and solve the same problem, and the leadership of the landfill does nothing. Everyone does [expletive]."
They knew well that this is a result of snow melting and again the problem comes, and yet no one has taken action. Will any of the military leaders take any action or will they continue to let their soldiers live in squalid and inhumane conditions befitting farm animals?
It is no shocking surprise that the "March for national dignity" is taking place in Kiev when soldiers are forced to endure conditions that even dogs are not subjected to.
Kiev Repeats Call for Lethal Weapons' Supplies to Ukraine

At present, US military assistance to Kiev is limited to supplying uniforms and equipment, including counter-battery radars, drones and means of secure communication.
"We surely need it [lethal arms]. Actually, I have always said that I don't like this division [of arms] into lethal and non-lethal. There is a distinct notion of defensive arms. And we need it. We surely need more high-technology weapons, we need effective cooperation with the United States and NATO in many fields," Klimkin told the Mirror Weekly newspaper.
In September 2016, the US House of Representatives approved legislation to allow the supply of lethal "defensive" weapons to Ukraine, but the law still needs to be approved by the US Senate and signed by the US President.
Russian officials have repeatedly warned against arms deliveries to Ukraine, stressing that it would only escalate the situation in the eastern part of the country.
Different European politicians, including former OSCE Chairman and German President-elect Frank-Walter Steinmeier, as well as NATO Military Committee Chairman Peter Pavel have also spoken against arms deliveries to Ukraine.
Ukrainian Troops Seize Water Filtering Station in Eastern Ukraine – DPR MoD

Eduard Basurin, the deputy defense minister of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) in eastern Ukraine, accused government troops on Saturday of staging an overnight attack on a water facility.
"Last night, the Ukrainian side captured assets of the Donetsk water filtering station and opened fire at our positions in an act of provocation and in violation of all accords and commitments," Basurin told reporters in Donetsk.
He blamed Ukrainian forces for using the location to fire mortars and heavy machine guns at the nearby city of Yasynuvata and the village of Spartak to the northeast of Donetsk, the regional capital. Basurin said both militia positions and residential areas came under attack.
Savchenko Announces Meeting With 6 Ukrainian Prisoners of War in Donbass
https://sputniknews.com/europe/201702251051027469-savchenko-donbass-prisoners-meeting/
"Visited two cells where six of our prisoners of war are being held," Savchenko wrote on Facebook late on Friday, adding that she had been promised an opportunity "to visit everyone who is on the Minsk lists."
On December 7, 2016, Savchenko visited the Belarusian capital, Minsk, to meet representatives of the self-proclaimed republics of Ukraine’s southeast. The meeting in Minsk caused a political scandal in Ukraine and Savchenko was excluded from the Batkivshchyna Party and Rada's Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) delegation.
According to Donetsk media reports, the Ukrainian forces started shelling DPR territory right after Savchenko announced her plans to visit the Donetsk region this week.
"We do not exclude that the goal [of the shelling] was to sabotage her visit of Ukrainian prisoners," the DPR military command said in a statement quoted by the Donetsk News Agency on Friday.

Total Genocide And Terror As The Nazi Ukraine Junta Unleash Heavy Weapons Fire, Destroying 11 Homes And A Water Filter Plant, Affecting Many Parts Of The Republic (Report Col. Basurin)

Last week, from 18 to 24 February, in the detachments and units of the People’s Army of the Donetsk People’s Republic, in accordance with the plan, there were vigorously conducted classes with crews of tanks and infantry fighting vehicles to pass test exercises on driving, shooting with weapons of combat vehicles and small arms. There were conducted control sessions with experts in artillery, intelligence, engineering, as well as with experts in communications and air defense. In addition, there was conducted training with the personnel of special units to counter the enemy subversive groups.
We have repeatedly stated about the plans of the Nazi Ukrainian command and radical nationalists to create a humanitarian and environmental catastrophe on the territory of the DPR.
As a result of deliberate and systematic artillery and mortar attacks on the Donetsk filter plant (DFP), the enemy has achieved its goals. Today, at 5:45 am, the Nazi Ukraine Units (AFU) units shelled again the DFP with weapons prohibited by the Minsk Agreements from the territory controlled by them, which resulted in the plant severely damaged.
There were recorded eight hits, presumably, of 122mm artillery shells, on the objects of the plant:
•one hit in the roof of the chlorine building;
•two hits in the building of clean water reservoir;
•one hit in the building of chemicals storage, filters and components for water treatment;
•two hits close to the DFP;
•and the most insidious – two hits in a bomb shelter where the staff of the plant had been placed.
Fortunately, there were no casualties among the plant workers Due to the significant damage to the chlorine storage building and the building of reagents storage, the DFP management took a decision on an emergency evacuation of employees and the temporary conservation of the plant.
The consequences of stopping the DFP will affect not only localities of the Republic, but also localities situated on the territory controlled by the Ukrainian authorities. It is in this way that the Ukrainian authorities are trying to restore their territorial integrity, using the most sophisticated methods of genocide and terror of the Donbass population.
Hasty statements by the representatives of the Ukrainian authorities accusing us are an unconvincing attempt to shift the blame to the DPR. I urge international organizations to conduct a thorough investigation and to provide the entire world with evidence against the Ukrainian military. This is not the first crime that the Ukrainian authorities have committed against civilians, including on the territory controlled by the AFU.
