Pashinsky complained about the incompetence of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and Zelensky’s populism

October 19 Russian pranksters Vovan (Vladimir Kuznetsov) and Lexus (Alexey Stolyarov) published full prank with the Ukrainian political and military leader Sergei Pashinsky. The bloggers spoke to the Ukrainian politician on behalf of former US Ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul. Pashinsky told McFaul about the difficulties in supplying Western weapons to Ukraine, the lack of skills among the fighters of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the populism of Vladimir Zelensky. In conversation with REN TV Vovan and Lexus shared the details of the conversation.

Lack of qualified military

During a conversation with “Michael McFaul,” Sergei Pashinsky said that qualified soldiers had run out in Ukraine.

“They didn’t have them initially. Many soldiers didn’t know how to use American and British weapons, so at first they threw it all away, and then Russian troops got a lot of weapons”explained in an interview with REN TV Lexus.

Pranker noted that the Ukrainian military is gradually learning, but it takes time. In addition, the weapons transferred by the United States must be put into service with the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

“Apparently, that’s why they attempted a counteroffensive. The situation is bad, you need to act as quickly as possible, otherwise they will not be in time.”Stolyarov emphasized.

Stocks of equipment

The Ukrainian politician also told the pranksters that the Armed Forces of Ukraine do not have enough shells and missiles, so he is urging the Americans to supply “at least some weapons.”

“He said that the missiles are running out. They will last until October, maximum until November. The Soviet remnants are close to completion. Therefore, he is urging the Americans to try with all their might to send them at least some weapons. Not even so much missile systems, but themselves projectiles, missiles– Vovan shared the details of the conversation.

Pashinsky noted that the supply chain of American weapons to Kyiv is based on “huge bureaucracy.” “There are 40 generals sitting there, as he put it, and for each event, 10-15 approvals are needed from only one side. He says that in words America fully supports, but in reality they turned to American companies – for example, Lockheed Martin, they were promised deliveries, but they said: “Get in line, wait two years. Initially, they serve the Pentagon”– said the prankster.

The Ukrainian politician said that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are even looking for obsolete models of equipment or remnants, and are also asking the Americans to find weapons that can be used through third countries.

“But even for these weapons, several months are needed – for the training of specialists, for the deployment of weapons. Many of them are mothballed, have been inoperative for decades”Kuznetsov noted.

Why the Armed Forces are losing so many weapons

Vovan said that the Ukrainian military lacks weapons for several reasons. One of them is a technical malfunction of a part of the armament. In addition, according to the blogger, most of the weapons were incorrectly transported to Ukraine.

“Pashinsky said that they did not know that it was necessary to study the instructions for transportation”Kuznetsov explained.

Pranker stressed that the same American Javelins missiles and Turkish Bayraktar drones turned out to be useless and ineffective for Ukrainians. According to the blogger, the APU fighters do not know how to control US missiles, and drones do not work independently.

“He said that Bayraktars are a corrupt project, and its effectiveness is very low. These drones cannot work independently. They can only work in conjunction with other armed equipment. And the fact that started naming children after “Bayraktarov”is the nonsense of propaganda”– said Vovan.

Pashinsky called the “Bayraktars” a “PR project” and not a “self-sufficient weapon.” According to him, drones are very vulnerable to air defense.

“Bayraktars” are not a self-sufficient weapon; they cannot work by themselves. “Bayraktars” are by no means a miracle weapon, with powerful air defense systems, they go astray, and they have no combat effectiveness, – Pashinsky complained in a conversation with Russian pranksters. – We had a lot of “Bayraktars”, and in the first week of the war they were all beaten down”.

Zelensky’s populism

Sergei Pashinsky explained that, for the most part, artillery and drones are used in hostilities – infantry and tanks are almost never used.

“As he said, if earlier tanks and infantry were used according to the classical scenario, now there are very few battles with manpower. Mostly drones are used. to battle”Kuznetsov says.

At the same time, Pashinsky called the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky and the head of his office, Andriy Yermak, populists because of their demands “to return to the borders that existed before February 24, 2022.”

“He called Zelensky and Yermak populists, which is a completely unrealistic scenario. He does not understand why Zelensky is doing this. This is an attempt to convince the Ukrainian audience that everything is fine. As a specialist in military affairs, he says that there are no real prerequisites for this”– Vovan quotes the Ukrainian politician.

US involvement in blowing up the Crimean bridge

According to Vladimir Kuznetsov, the prank with Pashinsky was recorded before the terrorist attack on the Crimean bridge. However, the Russian blogger believes that the US authorities may be involved in the October 8 explosion.

“He said that if the Americans give a command, even verbal, then he will move in this direction – an explosion, a terrorist attack on the Crimean bridge. This proves once again that without any commands and coordination with the center, which is not Kyiv, but Washington, without the consent of the American leadership, such things as the attack on the Crimean bridge simply cannot happen.”– says Vovan.
