At present, the relations between Russia and Ukraine are quite tense, and no one seems to have any intention of making concessions. Russia has gathered a large army in the border areas, claiming that 100,000 troops can launch an invasion at any time; Ukraine is also tit-for-tat, deploying more than half of its troops to the eastern Ukraine region, shouting: Fight to the death! It seems that the two sides can only fight.
This big mom is famous
If you look at it, you can see that the vast majority of Ukrainians do not seem to care much about the war, but a few show great enthusiasm. Just as the Russians were in place and ready for war, a Ukrainian aunt bought her own sniper rifle for a decisive battle, and the 52-year-old aunt named Marianne Zaglo bought equipment at her own expense, including: $3,000 for a Zbroyar Z-15 sniper rifle, and then $1,100 for military uniforms, helmets, camouflage suits, bulletproof vests, ammunition and boots, and canned food.
Is this training?
According to her self-report, she had no military training and voluntarily took up arms, declaring: "If war breaks out, we will fight for Kiev, we will fight to protect the city, and if there is a need to shoot, I will buckle the board." ”
As for the reason in the end, Zaglo claimed that her husband's relatives were dead, the specific details are unknown, but it is obvious that he has formed a big vendetta with Russia, and this time the Ukrainian aunt is going to fight with the Russians! Shout: I want to avenge my husband, I want to fight with the Russians!
There was no gun for training, and it was replaced by cardboard
Perhaps in the eyes of many people, the Ukrainian aunt wants to fight to the death shows the morale of the Ukrainian people, it seems that the people's anti-Russian sentiment is not low, then it will really be tough with the Russian soldiers? Doubt whether it is propaganda. Ukraine's economic level is quite low, $4,000 is definitely a huge amount, Ukraine's per capita GDP is only $3,500, with an average annual revenue of about $2,000, and the protagonist in the article is just a market researcher, which is indeed not small.
In her introduction, she said: "Willing to do everything possible to defend their country," stressing that "as a mother, I do not want my children to take on the problems of Ukraine, nor do I want to pass on these threats to them." Unfortunately, there is a bit of a propaganda element, as for the reason: "My husband and I and my relatives are dead", a simple sentence is expressed. How did her husband and relatives die at the hands of the Russians?
Are there many people participating in the exercise?
There is also the so-called: TDF unit she joined, translated as Chinese: Ukrainian Homeland Defense Force, a volunteer unit, in fact, is not well-known, nor is it the appearance of people actively participating in the announcement, from some public photos, there is no one to participate, a drill on the newspaper, is there a platoon? The announcement of the so-called civilian resistance force, support for the regular army to fight, etc., seems to be all declarations, and it is impossible not to doubt.
Of course, it is also excluded that this person is really anti-Russian, but what is the 40 million US dollar equipment enough? Modern warfare has long been complicated, a single soldier has no impact, in the face of a modern army, the so-called homeland defense force mobilized and organized by civilians is not cannon fodder?
Is this called a big drill?
Russia and Ukraine are of the same origin, is the hatred so great? If you really understand, the domestic situation in Ukraine is not the same as imagined, just a few days ago there was an incident of protesters storming the parliament, which shows the complexity of domestic problems! Is it normal to repeatedly preach how much hatred there is between the two sides?
