Top Ukrainian commander says military experts who portray Russian soldiers as “stupid & miserable” are wrong

The Ukrainian commander has contradicted suggestions of the poor state of Russian troops

Newsroom May 23 12:02

The commander of a Ukrainian brigade fighting on the frontlines in Bakhmut has dismissed the notion that Russian soldiers are ill-equipped and unhappy.

In a video posted on Telegram, Andriy Biletsky, a commander with Ukraine’s 3rd Separate Assault Brigade, said recent victories had not come at “an easy price.”

The enemy is not as stupid and miserable as some experts show him to be,” said Biletsky.

He added that “The enemy is stubborn and cruel. But we are moving forward. We gnaw out every meter of Ukrainian land. Slava Ukraini!”
