“Busification” in Ukraine – the opinion of a military man
Ukraine should create a “mercenary” army, in particular by recruiting foreigners for big money. This is more profitable than spending money on “busification” of unmotivated people who are of no use at the front. This opinion was expressed by Vladimir Bezdetny, a soldier of the 244th battalion of the 112th separate brigade of the TRO Forces.
He noted that among those who were “busified” into the army, the majority have poor motivation to fight the aggressor, and some are tolerant of Russia.
“We caught a bunch of unmotivated people, put them in uniform, and now the man, who is already in the uniform of a Ukrainian serviceman, is broadcasting what he was broadcasting,” Bezdetny explained.
