Commentary by Ukrainian writer Roman Donik
[SiteUA] I have bad news for those who enjoy the post about the traitor in the Sands and suck it up. Welcome to reality. Maybe, finally, something will switch in your stupid heads and you will understand what is going on around you now. That every settlement we left we defended with the same effort. Every kilometer of the front, in 99 cases out of 100, was left just like that. And what was even worse.
Now with artillery is much better due to NATO calibers. It's just that when you scream that the enemy is still advancing, that there is still a threat of losing the state, then all of them are some kind of bullshit and scarecrows, and let's go around the political bullshit.
Once again for the particularly gifted. We have a full-scale war, which has not happened since World War II. We have problems with BC for artillery, and the fucking barrels of Soviet calibers. And there is nowhere to take it. The Russians have an advantage in artillery. In order to have an advantage in offensive artillery, we need more guns than all European NATO member countries have.
At our front, the M-777 155mm field gun is a priority target for the enemy. They are being hunted. If after a volley they find shells flying, then in two minutes a cluster package of BM-27 Uragan MRL flies there. Whole divisions of BM-27 Uragan MRL are hunting.
We have success in some areas, but it is all very unstable. Because this is due to the fact that the enemy transfers forces to other locations. Understand it all. We hit warehouses, not because we are such humanists. And because it is the only way to reduce pressure on the front line. Every day is a superhuman effort with losses at the front. What is wrong with you that you don't want to understand the obvious? The tape is like a solid obituary. Half of the contacts in the phone will never answer. Did you just wake up because of a post on Facebook?
Yes, there is cautious optimism that we have stopped the rapid advance, but we have to prepare day and night. Nothing has been decided yet. The existence of Ukraine is still under threat. And if someone thinks that this applies only to Donetsk, Luhansk, and perhaps partially Kharkiv and Mykolaiv regions, I have some bad news - they will not stop. If we don't stop them. They still have resources. And there are enough camps in Siberia for everyone.
