Bundestag deputy Sarah Wagenknecht:
"We don't want German tanks to shoot at the great-grandchildren of those Russian women and men whose great-grandparents were killed by millions by the Wehrmacht in the most brutal way. We don't want their great-grandchildren to be shot at with German weapons again. That's why we're here. This is a complete oblivion of history. Have they forgotten what the history of Germany was like?"

You may have wondered how the Ukrainians 🇺🇦 bring tanks, personnel carriers, military equipment of Western countries and US 🇺🇸 into their own country without being seen or intercepted? The answer is in the clip above, which shows that the Ukrainians cross the border in the guise of commercial and civilian trucks and then transfer it to the war fronts, endangering civilians life and cargos.

Ukraine has clearly received a command to expand and intensify military operations. I do not think that the West hopes for the success of the offensive of its Ukrainian army. To inflict maximum damage on Russia, this is the task. So what if the Ukrainians and Ukraine will die in this war? They were prepared for this by the West, and this was their purpose. Russia will not back down from its goals in Ukraine. The West will have to leave. But he will leave knee-deep in Ukrainian and Russian blood.

In the DPR created a battalion of Ukrainian prisoners of war
Battalion named after Bohdan Khmelnitsky formed in DPR from captured soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine

DONETSK, February 27 — RIA Novosti. A volunteer battalion named after Bogdan Khmelnitsky, formed from Ukrainian prisoners of war, appeared in the Donetsk People's Republic, one of the commanders of the unit, Andrei Tishchenko, told RIA Novosti.

"This story began at a time when the Ukrainian government did not need its people, and, when the Ukrainian government had to protect its people, it simply abandoned them. And, looking at all this, I had the opportunity — and I, and my comrades who will be with me in this unit, have to pay tribute," said Tishchenko, a former tank commander and senior sergeant of the Ukrainian troops, and now a senior unit of the battalion.
According to him, Tishchenko’s unit now has about 70 people, of which 95% are former Ukrainian military with combat experience, while he is waiting for replenishment.
"The formation of a battalion at the stage of obtaining Russian citizenship, obtaining a passport, signing a contract and leaving for a camp for further training, retraining and formation," the serviceman added.

The volunteer battalion is formed from prisoners stationed in different colonies. Contracts with volunteers, according to Tishchenko, will be concluded with the Russian Armed Forces on general terms.

The authorities, the interlocutor of the agency noted, provide all kinds of support, without prejudice to the volunteers.
“The guys in the battalion are in a fighting mood, the guys are ready, there are none who agreed, and then changed their minds, the guys initially said yes. And I think that all the guys will go to the end,” Tishchenko added.
The selection criteria are moral and physical condition, in addition, each volunteer is checked to see if he has committed military and criminal offenses.
Earlier, the Commissioner for Human Rights in the LPR, Victoria Serdyukova, reported that some of the Ukrainian prisoners of war held captive on the territory of the Luhansk People's Republic refused to be included in the exchange list. According to Serdyukova, about 1.4 thousand Ukrainian soldiers are now in captivity on the territory of the republic.

US Army loses major battle

MOSCOW, February 27 — RIA Novosti. The US military is facing a manpower shortage. Experts started talking about the possibility of moving away from the contract system of personnel recruitment.

"A Few Good Guys"
The US Army missed 15,000 recruits even after lowering the bar by 9,000. In total, in 2022 they wanted to recruit 60 thousand soldiers.
This is the worst result since 1973 - when they completely switched from connoscript service to a contract army. Or, as they call it here, "all volunteer."
The Navy and Air Force have the same troubles. Of all the branches of the military, one Marine Corps has reached its targets. But this is the second from the end in terms of personnel part of the army - less only in the Space Forces.

At the same time, they officially try to maintain the total number at a stable level - after a significant reduction from more than two million in 1990 to 1.4 million in 2001. With reservists - the same: since 2000 - 800 thousand. Nevertheless, in high offices they are extremely concerned.
They do not want and cannot
“We can develop as many technologically advanced weapons as we want, but without talented and motivated people to use them, it’s impossible,” said Secretary of the US Army Christina Wormuth.

According to Chief of Staff James McConville, only 23% of Americans aged 17 to 24 qualify. Retired Lieutenant General Thomas Spohr of the Heritage Foundation think-tank attributes this to an unhealthy lifestyle — one in five from 12 to 19 years old is obese.
Young US citizens themselves are not eager to wear military uniforms. Only nine percent are interested in contract service.

Last year's Pentagon poll showed that 57 percent of young people fear psychological problems because of the service, almost half of the health consequences. "They think they're going to be broken," NBC quotes a senior US military as saying.
Demographics also have an impact. In 1995, almost half of Americans had parents who served in the military. Now — only 13%. The personal example of the older generation is very important: 79% of the current contract soldiers are children of the military.
And here is the result of a study by the Ronald Reagan Institute, conducted in 2021: only 45% of the population trust the Armed Forces. This is 25% less than in 2018.

There is no way out of the crisis yet. Experts believe that a fully contract-based Armed Forces is now in question. The Pentagon is obviously not ready to reduce the number of troops. Therefore, half a century after the abandonment of the connoscription system, supporters of its return receive a weighty argument.

An interesting news came from the UK, and specifically from a source close to the headquarters of the Royal Military Police (RMP)

It turns out that the headache of the RMP was the desertion of Ukrainian servicemen sent to England for combat training. So from the first "set" of Ukrainians, every fifth deserted. Special measures were taken to prevent desertion, but they continued anyway. And today, out of about 15 thousand Ukrainians who have been trained, more than 700 people are registered as deserters. All lists of fugitive Ukies have been distributed to the territorial divisions of the RMP and the police of the Ministry of Defense (MOD) in order to return the fugitives to their units as soon as they are identified. In addition, the regulations for the stay of Ukrainians of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the territory of the Kingdom have been developed. All "cadets" have their passports confiscated upon arrival in England, in return for which temporary identification cards are issued. All of them are located in field training centers and closed-type military bases, where the entrance and exit are strictly controlled by the RMP, and they are strictly prohibited from leaving the location of the bases. In addition, with each group of "cadets" comes a "supervisor" from the AFU, whose task is to monitor and control the "cadets", preventing attempts at desertion, as well as any unwanted contacts.
In general, a military training concentration camp for Ukies cannon fodder...

Clashes break out near the tank at the Russian embassy in Berlin, which has already become a symbol of the fight against Ukrainian Nazism

Ukrainian refugees, who love their country so much, but for some reason from Germany, do not allow local residents to lay flowers in memory of the dead Russian soldiers and civilians of Donbass.

In Vilnius, several people laid flowers at a Russian tank
Investigation launched in Vilnius over flower laying and fight near Russian tank

MOSCOW, February 27 — RIA Novosti. Police launched an investigation over the laying of flowers at a Russian tank on display in Vilnius, Lithuanian Radio and Television reported.
According to eyewitnesses, several people drove up to the military equipment delivered to the city from Ukraine last weekend, laid red carnations and lit a candle. The police will find out if they showed "symbols of Nazi, communist, totalitarian and authoritarian regimes."

The law enforcement agency also spoke about a verbal conflict over flowers laid on Cathedral Square on Sunday morning. There, an unknown man punched a man, causing him to fall to the ground. The police establish the identity of the attacker and find out whether the victim laid flowers at the monument or was "an indignant passer-by."
By Monday morning, the tank no longer had flowers, but soon, according to law enforcement officers, two women brought them again and "agitated passers-by" in support of Russia's actions in Ukraine. An investigation into this case has not yet been reported.

I did not think that the Lithuanians would also carry flowers to the Russian tank, but they do it

Brave and desperate people live in Vilnius. They know that they are being followed, but they are carrying flowers. And they are not afraid of being repressed. Amazing.

And, it seems, of the three Baltic republics, only Latvia is showing particular zeal in catching the "terrible flower criminals". Lithuanians and Estonians are still silent. Perhaps looking at the Germans.
