German Army Complains Ukraine’s Counteroffensive Too Slow And Wasting Western Training

Written by Ahmed Adel, Cairo-based geopolitics and political economy researcher

Bild newspaper cited a German military document on the Ukrainian military, pointing to serious problems in personnel absorbing lessons taught by NATO. This also comes as an Austrian military official revealed that NATO-trained Ukrainian soldiers are already dead due to their lack of experience. Yet, as can be expected, the British rejected the assertions made by the German Bundeswehr.

According to a secret Bundeswehr report published by the newspaper on July 25, German military chiefs are extremely dissatisfied with how the Ukrainian military conducts combat operations.

“Some military units are so fragmented that, although each of them does something, they cannot work coherently,” says the document.

Such actions by the Ukrainian military, according to the media, do not allow them to ensure fire superiority, which is necessary for success, regardless of the number of personnel trained in the West and the amount of equipment provided.

In addition, the so-called Ukrainian combat doctrine was mentioned – young fighters who have received “effective Western training” often obey the orders of their commanders, who are incapable of acting on the NATO model. This invalidates training efforts, said Bild.

The document adds that Ukrainian soldiers trained by the West show “great learning success” but are let down by commanders who have not been through the training camps.

On July 23, Belarussian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said Russian forces eliminated at least 15 German-made Leopard tanks and more than 20 American-made Bradley infantry fighting vehicles. This suggests that not only are German military chiefs observing the failure of the Ukrainian counteroffensive but also seeing their former stocks of military equipment being destroyed with impunity.

Despite the obvious, which is increasingly acknowledged by Europeans and even by some Americans, the British could be trusted to reject any news of Ukrainian failures and concoct a propagated explanation.

A senior defence source told The Telegraph:

“They [Ukrainians] certainly have plenty of problems, but I don’t think this German accusation is one of them.”

“The idea that they are abusing the formations we have trained them in doesn’t ring true to me,” the source added.

The typically British response is also contradicted by the Austrian Ministry of Defence military strategist, Colonel Markus Reisner, who said in an interview with the N-TV portal that many Ukrainian soldiers who underwent the six-month NATO training have died.

“I recently spoke with a Ukrainian comrade: in a neighbouring unit, there was a 47-year-old reservist commander. Due to a lack of experience, he ordered a platoon of his soldiers to go straight to the minefields. Just over half [of the soldiers] turned back,” he commented to the outlet.

According to Reisner, such a mistake seriously affected the morale of Ukrainian soldiers. The Austrian official also expressed the opinion that the first phase of the Ukrainian counteroffensive had failed.

He also highlighted how “there was an outcry” when he said earlier in July that the offensive’s first phase had failed “but now word has gotten around. As usual, we see the first critical reports mainly in the English – and here, especially, in the American – leading media.”

However, media reports cannot be entirely trusted either though. It was revealed by German politician and former ARD journalist Christoph Hörstel on July 22 that Washington is prohibiting European media from writing about the neo-Nazis in Ukraine.

“In 2014, we had great reporting on Nazis in Ukraine, and today they have disappeared. This is, of course, a flagrant case,” Hörstel said in an interview on the YouTube channel Flavio von Witzleben.

The journalist believes this phenomenon is related to a “corresponding order” from US officials. According to him, such instructions are not found “on paper” but are given exclusively by phone or at a personal meeting.

“If something is happening here, it means that someone agreed on something and that there were prerequisites,” the expert summarised.

Neo-Nazi crimes against civilians in Ukraine include ethnic cleansing and punitive actions, and Nazism is promoted as state policy. Yet, despite the innumerable evidence and Western media once openly reporting about neo-Nazism in Ukraine, Washington has placed a gag order on European journalists, which would scare these journalists into silence about not only the Nazi issue but also the failure of the Ukrainian counteroffensive.

It is too late for the US to silence European journalists or for Britain to disseminate propaganda to great effect as most of the world, begrudgingly or not, acknowledges that Kiev cannot win the war and that everything else is sadistic masochism that is destroying Western economies and leading to thousands of Ukrainian deaths.

here’s an idea, if the germans think it’s going too slowly, why don’t they join their ukrainian slaves in combat? that way russia will get to cleanse 2 breeds of goblins all at once 😃😃😃

no, people are dumfuck hopeless sheeple. seems the better standard (easy) living the low iq to have. an ancient spartan word of wisdom said: ‘soft lands make soft peoples’, adapted to our days it’s perfectly damn right.

Dstroj

one day of sf news and opinion would equal untold years of msm stupidity among waves of disinfo, think tank idiocy and paid opinion. to find the truth through msm is the proverbial needle in a haystack. the illusion of choice is a key weapon of the west against it’s sheep. you can eat at 1000 different food franchises yet all of it is garbage. the quote you provided is +.

interesting comment on the subject of nato instructors i heard on rwa channel: there’s nothing any nato instructor can teach any ukrainian post 2014 veteran. so, germans are reflecting the hubris ukrainian supporters have. they are better just because they are germans. ukrainians, don’t let them fool you.

today ukroshit land of bandera nazi made the most successful gains in zapo in the last 1 month. 1. staromaiorsk is taken. urojaine is next because it is practically on it’s outskirts. 2 russian retreat from se kamianske 3. next to failed rabotine they changed axis of attack and made significant push till onto outskirts of verbove town reaching the first line of defense.

4. ukroshits reach out skirts of kurdiumovka, south of backmut. all of that was possible because russian lost the nearby heights due to severe lack of reserves !!!!! good night mrs putin !! do not forget to jail strelkov because he specifically criticize that aspect (amongst many others)

Sunny

strelkov is a questionable character though. he highlighted various issues but never talked about solutions, ever. unlike vladlen, who was doing workshops, public speaking events, making videos of how he grilled ukro terrorists etc. that’s why they had him assassinated in a cafe while strelkov was left alone. i think strelkov might have had an agenda beyond just valid criticism.

so, was it worth taking staromajorsk? do the losses the ukies suffered really justify taking that little toilet?

stop spamming the forum with your fake nazi reports, troll

slowly loosing important locations is not good for the russians. i remind you in that specific frontline russians lost 5 tactic villages.

Sunny

so is it maybe time to start using fabs in a meaningful capacity or is it not yet time for russia to end the war, according to the script? i mean, the germans could decimate entire cities in a single day using crappy ww2 technology. they razed rotterdam to the ground with primitive tech. surely the russians can take a single hill? they have massive stockpiles of guided bombs that are being saved for some time that will never come.

problem is that all the deciders from governemnt to industry bosses in germany are jewish, and in addition lefties, communists, bolshevics and often also pedophiles. these disgusting scum of the earth of course wants germany to implode. so its not so much the german industry, people or german-will that is the problem. the problem is the infiltration of everything by evil commie jews. btw same goes for the usa see here: https://www.bitchute.com/video/et05tqnlq6cw/

it’s in the brit psyche to believe in its supposed superiority, just look at every football competition they enter with complete belief “it’s coming home”, only to be obliterated, and come empty handed.

rinse and repeat ad infinitum. to the npc the past does not exist, only a response to the most basic stimuli does. but to be fair, that is not an issue with just westerners, the ukrainians are definitive proof of that. they have proven that npcs are a phenomenon everywhere.
