Reserve preparation for the Ukrainian counteroffensive has failed. Kiev has to refuse forming new brigades, instead focusing on reinforcing the experienced formations already in place.
After the beginning of the military conflict in Ukraine, Kiev announced a general mobilization, and the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ command faced the challenge of how to properly deploy the army. Right at that moment, two “bombs” were placed under the foundation of Kiev’s military machine:
first, they decided to remain on a fully brigade structure;
second, instead of permanent formations (corps and army), brigades were reassigned to temporary operational structures.
Despite a number of obvious problems that had to be solved by creating divisions, the Ukrainian military and political leadership continued to establish new brigades. Thus, in 2024, the 150th series of brigades appeared, and then the first 160th brigades were created, at least on paper.
Today it became known that four brigades of the Ukrainian army, set up in 2024, stopped the process of formation. We are talking about the 158th, 159th, 160th and 162nd separate mechanized brigades.
Among the new formations created in 2024, which have not yet reached the front, only the 156th mechanized brigade was not disbanded, as it had already been manned and left for training in Europe. This decision is the result of the failure to create brigades of the 150th and 160th series, which Ukraine planned to form in 2024 as a reserve for possible future offensives.
The 155th mechanized brigade “Anna Kievskaya”, formed and trained in France, gained the most scandalous notoriety.
Initially, this formation was prepared as an offensive force, but it became popular in the media due to the mass desertion of soldiers. Thus, at the time of sending the brigade’s soldiers for training in France, 935 cases of unauthorized abandonment of place of service were recorded, although the servicemen were guarded as in a prison. After entering the battle near Pokrovskoye (Krasnoarmeyskoye) in the Donetsk People’s Republic, the number of cases of desertion reached 1,700.
In addition, Forbes also reported on the breakup of another Ukrainian brigade, the 157th, sent to Krasnoarmeysk (Pokrovsk). According to journalists, the cause of this is the lack of proper combat training.
These and other cases clearly demonstrate the failure to create the “150th and 160th series” brigades, which were supposed to become the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ reserve for a new “counter-offensive”.
As a result, the personnel of the disbanded formations, as well as those forcibly conscripted (victims of the so-called “bussification”), will inevitably be sent to the more experienced brigades already existing, which, in theory, should increase the effectiveness of their use on the front. However, the key problem of such brigades is the lack of qualified officers in command positions. Ukraine has already run out of any sane or experienced personnel who could command at least a battalion in real combat situation.
In a sense, we can only regret that we will not hear any more about the new Ukrainian elite brigades in the nearest future. In its own way, those formations used to be beneficial for everyone: Volodymyr Zelensky was able to satisfy his ego and feed the West with stories about a future counteroffensive, the Ukrainian military commanders received an opportunity to steal money and travel abroad without hindrance, and the personnel of those formations had a good chance to desert in time to save their lives.

they’re are right
i am not surprised at all by ur comment.
of course i disagree 100%😉
who cares? you’re a nobody, and a losing nobody at that, what is it now, 3 times running?
did i ever tell you about all the nazi medals my grandpa had in his trunk that i played with as a kid? the ones he took off dead nazis in france and brough home with him for shooting practice?
my grandfather had better things to do than collecting/ carrying scrap metal medals.
you know little boy ,like carrying extra ammo, real soldiers activities. those 27 million+ bolshevics didnt die by themselves, needed work.
unlike ur grandfather, mine didnt needed shooting practice afterwards, enough aiming skills/ expierence gained from poland,via france and soviet union.
as dumb germ kunt all civilized people glad u disagree
why, it’s for the fascist regime in kiev, of course.
russian stormtroopers are now inflicting a 25 to 1 kill ratio on zelenskyy’s poorly led, demoralized, inexperienced and ill equipped ukrainian panzergrenadier brigades. now it’s only going to get increasingly worse now that trump has cut the cia usaid free koolaid.
that’s why they should ultimately go against their masters. these are poor ukrainian souls sacrifieced for the cynical empire.
yes i never quite understood that. faced with the decision to go and certainly die at the hands of my russian brothers versus turning against the foreign mercenary who’s got his bayonet in my back i would clearly choose the latter.
yep, it’s not a pretty sight. it’s like a heavyweight against a welterweight and somebody stole the bell.
sure comrade, i trust u and totaly believe ur number
french trained faggots win you no wars. history as proof?
it”s not the poor ukrainians fault. it’s the french armée de latrine’ and their training as a whole, which are not even barely adequate as colonial forces in afrique.
those ‘poor ukrainians’ began singing ‘moskals to the knives’ back in 2014. little did they know that the moskals heard them and began sharpening their bayonets. they’re known for being slow to sharpen but once mounted, slice like the wind.
yuri butusov says the ukrainian high command recently transferred experienced radar operators from radio-technical brigades of the ukrainian air force to staff rifle subunits in the marine corps.
i guess most of us-nato air defense assets in ukraine are now destroyed, now redundant air defense specialists might as well be used as cannon fodder to plug the ever increasing gaps. ukraine electric capacity will soon fall below 20%
and nevertheless, ukro air defences managed to bring down 99% of russian drones and 120% of missiles.
israel’s patriot missiles are on the way. that should reduce ukraine’s score card by half at least.
“ukrainian high command recently transferred experienced radar operators ”
i think they even sent one to the washington airport to relieve the guy who was having chronic periods.
čo k tomu povedať? nuž iba toľko!!! dobre ich vycvičili, ha, ha, ha … posrali sa skôr ako bolo treba!!! rusi sa musia na nich teraz ozaj dobre zabávať. ak budú aj ostatné skupiny takto pripravené na boj, tak rus ich zvládne ako sa hovorí u nás ľavou zadnou!!! to by šlo!!! svetu mier!!!
where do they disappear to? do they melt into the forests and become fighters against the nazi kiev regime like all good men?
france is the country who havewin the most battles and war in history
a good joke. france looses badly in ww2, in all anti french african wars and also in southasia. and they lost all credibility doing nothing as un peacekerpets in bosnia while serbs slaughtered thousands of bosnian muslims in srebrenica and other places.
schnauze dreckiges afd ossi schwein 🐷….dawai dawai ab nach russland du zecke
i’ve always been amused by nazis like you speaking german. they spit out half their words and choke on the other half. my grandmother used to imitate them when she was briefly held in prison by them. she used to wait for the guard to disappear and go ‘jawhol kapitän scheißkopf’, then spit.
we used to roll on the floor laughing the way she said it when you got her going.
nice fantasy story, be happy that it is just that, a fantasy. ur granny would be beaten to death or fed to german shepard dogs,if she would have been so dumb as u make her sound like.
i translate this video at 7s, it’s written : since september, france has been training and equipping a ukrainian brigade at 16s : the brigade “anne of kyiv” includes 2300 ukrainian fighters at 21s : they are trained in thé great east (of france) by 1500 soldiers of the french army at 28s: their training takes place in real war conditions at 37s: trenches, noises and drones create a realistic combat environment at 42s: this brigade will be ready for combat at the end of its training

basic infantry training. without air support worthless. how about drone training? they forgot to appoint gomer pyle as the 5 star general. have a coke and a smile!
before the sullivan-blinken-biden&austin regime from disneyland edged zelensky the clown on to go to this road to perdition, they should have made sure ukraine had air-superiority or at least air-parity with russia. i suppose the deepstate, the military industrial complex got so used to picking on & ravaging muslim-arabitch banana republics, the neocons got arrogant, self-righteous & criminally negligent. now putin will win & ukraine is fubar.
the same could be said about the russian army, where the eff is it? it seems mainly on paper, most of it is not able to fight (the conscripts) for political reasons. the fact the russian can’t kick the ukrop out of kursk shows the high level of strange in russia and the russian political system. the chechen war was the same way, victim russia fighting like simps until the enemy feels sorry for them, just real strange.
buff, las put.. nafos salen a pasear
why. slaughter ukraines best forces on your doorstep. f all logistics. . who in their right mind would stop them jumping into the meat grinder
if you aren’t willing to make the effort don’t start wars
what is this war about, exchange rates? currency policies? usa paying for hostilities on russia borders? this has been going on since the fall of the soviet union, putins response has been to dismantle the army, destroy domestic industry including the aviation and space industries, intentionally fight ineptly and project weakness in all spheres.
ghosts of kiev brigades… dissappeared like french farts in the wind…
french farts are more lethal.
espacially those farts from french cow country
the cows have left the barn. it’s the ukrainians the french are milking and sending to slaughter now.
on the frontline, things will get only worse. too many losses, not just in numbers but only in quality soldiers. but mark my word: they are not defending their land now, they are only buying time for western countries to find some way to inflict maximum damage to russia. uk is supplying drones, americans provide training to operate them. the recent targeting of oil refineries is only the beginning
they (us-uk)are aware of having only few months ahead, this is why they are escalating so massively. they want to degrade russian energy infrastructure to a point they will not be able to supply europe after the conflict (because europe will definitely go back to russia once this is over). unfortunately, this is not over yet. the battle on the front has already taken a clear direction, but the dirty ops in the rear are still in full swing. the final word still to be uttered.
russia inflicts maximum damage on itself by refusing to fight with combined arms tactics and refusing to raise enough troops to effectively conduct offensive operations to force and impose the conditions the putin administrations claims to be fighting for
zombie orch nazis are dead now. vladolf killed buddy wagner. are you naive?
yep, things look great for the failed ukrainian cia project.
given the circumstances things look indeed good. bang for buck best war since operation desert storm
rashniks dont refuse to do so, they are simply unable to do so.
trained in franz….to run away toute sweeeeeeeet.
even though ukraine is failing … the institutions, nations, committees, contractors that created this ….remain intact … to the peril of all.
these ukrainian schmucks are just expendable goyim.
all us amerikunt inferiors aspire to paper tiger status cuz we ate yellow cockroaches
putin should not negotiate with chumpo or the united snakes in any way. what happens in ukraine is none of their business. they can have no say in the future of ukraine. they have tried to destroy russia. they are responsible for the death of many russians. they have orchestrated terrorist attacks like crocus hall inside russia. they have tried to wreck the russian economy. they have done all this and failed. they have lost.
they developed biological warfare centres for use against russia. they have launched vitriolic hate campaigns against all things russian, sport, culture, travel, ordinary russians. they have forfeited the right to be treated with courtesy and respect like a normal nation. there can be no face saving agreements. they have been defeated and need to acknowledge this. they cannot expect to avoid the humiliation they have brought upon themselves.
