Ukrainian journalist Stanislav Aseev has compared the training centers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (VSU) to tuberculosis dispensaries. His comments were reported by the publication “Strana.ua”.
Aseev also noted the similarity of these training centers to pretrial detention centers.
“Mold, fungus, humidity, full of sick people who are given children’s flu pills at a temperature of 39 degrees,” the journalist described the conditions in the training centers.
According to Aseev, in the first month after conscription, recruits in the training centers were exclusively engaged in kitchen work and chopping firewood, without any preparation for combat operations. However, after this period, upon joining the brigades, they began to be trained in military affairs.
Stanislav Aseev participated in the so-called “anti-terrorist operation” in the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) and was captured, after which he was handed over to the Ukrainian side in 2019 as part of a prisoner exchange.
Prior to this, VSU officer Melnik stated that alcoholism is taught in training centers in Ukraine.
Earlier in Ukraine, NATO training manuals were called outdated.
