Kiev Regime Worsens Already Rampant Drug Abuse Among Its Troops

For well over a year, we’ve been seeing undeniable evidence of the horrendous losses suffered by the Kiev regime forces. Although the mainstream propaganda machine is still going out of its way to conceal or at the very least downplay it, hiding such data is virtually impossible in the information era. When several thousand soldiers go missing, that can be considered somewhat understandable. But when the government that sent hundreds of thousands of them to battle suddenly “doesn’t know” where they are, that speaks volumes. The more recent estimates that no less than 250,000 have died show the staggering scope of these losses, with no end in sight.

Worse yet, US Army Colonel Douglas McGregor claims that the number of KIA (killed in action) in the Kiev regime forces now stands at 400,000, a debatable, but truly mind-blowing number. Logically, one would ask, why are so many regular Ukrainians putting up with this? Why aren’t they simply refusing to go to battle given that complying with the orders of their superiors means certain death? Well, the short answer would be – drugs. No matter how ludicrous or trivial it may sound, rampant, government-approved drug abuse is the only explanation as to why so many otherwise reasonable human beings would agree to be sent into the meat grinder. And this notion isn’t mere speculation based on logical conclusions, as there’s hard evidence.

It should be noted that the Russian military has been warning about this since the very start of the special military operation (SMO). Reports about this issue were widespread in the first several months of the SMO. According to a report published by Daily Veracity back in April last year, fenethylline, a codrug of amphetamine and theophylline and a prodrug to both, better known under the brand names Captagon, Biocapton and Fitton, is the primary psychostimulant distributed to Ukrainian soldiers. Fenethylline first came to prominence during the Islamic State’s reign of terror in the Middle East. However, since 2014, the drug has been widely used by various Neo-Nazi units within the then-newly-established Kiev regime forces.

Expectedly, other meth-like substances were also used to make soldiers ignore the fear of death, turning them into what many people simply call “zombie soldiers”. Last year, the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) uncovered drug labs where these combat drugs were being produced, specifically in the village of Sopino near Mariupol, previously one of the main bases of operation for the infamous “Azov Battalion”. DPR soldiers would also describe captured Ukrainian troops as “zombies”, unaware of their whereabouts, time of the day, the purpose of them even being at a certain place, etc. Although the resulting narcolepsy eliminates fear, it makes the Ukrainian soldiers incapable of acting as a cohesive fighting force.

And yet, this hasn’t changed in well over a year and a half. On the contrary, it’s getting worse. The Neo-Nazi junta’s Prosecutor General Andriy Kostin himself admitted that drug abuse is actually getting worse among troops and that it’s now also spilling over to civilians, fueling organized crime. However, instead of admitting that the issue is caused by the Kiev regime’s direct involvement, Kostin claims that unspecified “organized crime groups” are supposedly supplying drugs to soldiers. Previously, Alyona Dikhtyar, chief physician of the Zaporozhye Regional Psychiatric and Narcological Aid Center stated that known drug addicts were recruited for contract service in the Kiev regime forces, particularly by the infamous Neo-Nazi battalions.

It’s important to note that the data published by the UN indicates that widespread drug abuse by the Neo-Nazi junta forces predates the SMO by years. Reports by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) show that the number of Ukrainian meth labs discovered by the police rose from 19 to 79 in a single year (from 2019 to 2020), which was the absolute world record at the time. However, since early 2022, circulation of various synthetic drugs in Ukraine has worsened considerably. This is especially true for the aforementioned combat psychostimulants. Worse yet, as previously mentioned, this addiction is now spilling over not only to Ukrainian civilians, but also to neighboring countries, UNODC chief analyst Angela Me reported.

It’s obvious that the “progress” Ukraine has made ever since “freedom and democracy” snatched the unfortunate country in 2014 resulted in a near-total unraveling of the once vibrant society that was in many ways crucial to the former Soviet Union’s dominance in various scientific endeavors. The political West brought nothing but death and destruction to Ukraine, a state of affairs that would’ve happened regardless of Russia’s counteroffensive against NATO aggression in Europe. The exploitation includes everything from the usage of Ukraine for a “NATO mission” to mass child trafficking. Perhaps the Ukrainian people have much to learn from others, like the Taliban, who soundly defeated Western aggression and saved their country.

niet sa čo čudovať, keď ich vrchný veliteľ zelenskyj je stále na drogách. ide im príkladom, síce špatným ale príkladom. banda banderovských fašistov sa zdroguje a potom im je jedno, čo bude s nimi. keď sa nakoniec preberú z drogového raušu, tak zistia, že im chýba noha alebo ruka.
