An alleged letter which alleges that the Armed Forces of Ukraine have allegedly lost between 40% and 60% of their trained personnel, among other things.
Hey Zuckerberg, I said alleged, learn what that means.
In any case, summarized in English.
1—The Armed Forces of Ukraine have lost from 40 to 60% of trained personnel; reservists are being recruited to replace them without proper selection; morale is falling.
2—Only 39% of the Ukrainian fighters have body armor, and only every second is equipped with a bulletproof helmet. This became known from a Ukrainian assessment received (and translated) by Russian intelligence.
3—The report, addressed to the Deputy Commander of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Yevgeny Moysyuk, states that the recruits are being deceived—they are assured that they will serve in the territorial defence force.
4—When they get into the Ukrainian Armed Forces, they turn out to be unsuitable. As a result, 30% of Ukrainian fighters are not capable of carrying on military service.
5—Another one of the problems: the lack of instructions for the soldiers, the dominance of the Russian Federation in the air, artillery strikes, and the lack of ammunition.
