Let's be clear. That is what they get in 2023. From 2014-2022 they got a battallion per month of training from NATO, both in Ukraine and abroad. The US sent $3 billion worth of weapons there.

Russia has destroyed those arms and killed those soldiers.

Then Russia destroyed the next huge shipment of the next wonder weapons and killed the soldiers that were (quickly) trained on them.

What I have highlighted is the 3rd army that Russia is destroying and killing. It is horrible to watch and read about. I cannot imagine the situation.

I read "All Quiet on the Western Front" in high school and we watched the film. Very sobering. Very relevant to today's situation in Ukraine.
