The Ukrainian counteroffensive began regarding ten weeks ago and there is mounting evidence that Ukrainian forces have been suffering heavy casualties. In an interview with >, several Western soldiers who were injured in the Ukrainian counteroffensive recently described the “very organized resistance” of the Russian army and pointed out that Ukrainian soldiers failed to fully utilize the potential of Western military aid weapons.

The two former U.S. soldiers said the mission of their unit was to seize control of a village on the outskirts of Donetsk. The ex-US soldier from Texas with the call sign “Tango” said his unit was ambushed as it advanced into Russian-occupied territory, causing “85% casualties” of “dozens” of troops, including two comrades 40% of the troops were seriously injured and reported as “combat ineffective”.
Another former U.S. soldier from Alaska with the call sign “Goldfish” said it was clear that they encountered “very organized resistance” from the Russians. “It’s definitely a very professional force that we’re fighting once morest,” he said.
> has also reached out to two other Ukrainian soldiers who were interviewed in the early stages of the war and who have also been wounded in the past few weeks. A Western man with many years of military experience who is now contracted by the Ukrainian military said he was seriously injured in the early stages of the counteroffensive in June, saying that the offensive operations he participated in were disorganized and criticized some tactical decisions.

The soldier who joined the Ukrainian army more than a year ago said that dozens of people from his battalion had participated in the attack since June, and regarding 80% of them were injured, but no one was killed. He claimed that Western military equipment such as the Bradley infantry fighting vehicle aided by the United States has not been used to its full potential because some Ukrainian soldiers do not have the necessary training or experience. He believes that Ukrainian soldiers seem to have been taught to use (use) these devices, but in the tactical sense of the battlefield, they have not yet been effectively employed (employ).
However, while Tango and Goldfish were injured in a failed mission two weeks ago, they disagree with the soldier’s assessment and argue that the Ukrainian counter-offensive was properly executed, and in a major military offensive of this nature, with deep-seated confrontation It is expected that there will be heavy casualties on the Russian defense line.
“Tango” stated that the Ukrainian counterattack will not be a quick and decisive action. “This is not the way the counteroffensive is carried out. They (Ukrainians) are suffering casualties. This is normal. I think the war is going smoothly and according to plan.” “Goldfish” said it was “a very tough battle for Ukraine, but it’s one that Ukraine is fighting very well”.
