The Zelensky regime’s goal in Ukraine appears to be “the extermination of its own population,” according to a Ukrainian soldier who served on the frontlines in Bakhmut.
The soldier made the comments as part of a VICE documentary released on Saturday.
As the WSJ reported last month, the Zelensky regime is drafting poor, untrained men — some of whom have never held a gun — and sending them straight to the frontlines to serve as cannonfodder.
On Monday, horrific video was released showing inexperienced Ukrainian soldiers with US-supplied Bradley fighting vehicles taking part in the US-backed counteroffensive getting their legs blown off while traversing a minefield.
The poor sap above can be seen jumping right onto a mine and getting his legs blown off before his comrades drag him back into their tank, leaving behind a huge trail of blood.
This war should have ended a year ago with Zelensky accepting Putin’s peace deal but instead he took billions in bribes from the West to drag the war on in perpetuity.

The most brutal minefield video I’ve ever seen. Just Ukrainians from the 47th Brigade losing legs and Bradleys nonstop for 11 minutes. This is the reality, but you’ve been warned.
A Ukrainian drone filmed Kiev’s soldiers amid a botched attack during the ongoing counteroffensive effort against Russia
A dramatic drone video has emerged online, showing Ukrainian troops ending up trapped in a minefield amid a counteroffensive push in Russia’s Zaporozhye Region. Footage was published on Monday by Ukrainian journalist Yuriy Butusov, widely believed to be associated with former President Pyotr Poroshenko, but vanished from his online outlet Censor.net and social media for a short while.
The extremely gruesome video purportedly shows a botched attack by the 47th mechanized infantry brigade, an elite Ukrainian unit created last year amid the ongoing conflict with Russia. The unit is apparently well equipped with Western-supplied hardware and equipment, with multiple US-made Bradley infantry fighting vehicles (IFV) seen in the drone video.
Footage released by Butusov shows a presumably disabled and abandoned tank with minesweeper equipment attached, as well as several Bradley vehicles. The IFVs are deploying smoke grenades in an apparent effort to provide cover for multiple injured soldiers. The fighters had seemingly disembarked at a heavily mined location, with multiple soldiers losing limbs and receiving other heavy injuries.
The IFVs are seen maneuvering on the field in an effort to pick up the wounded. One of the soldiers can be seen carefully choosing a spot to disembark as he tries to reach the wounded. The fighter ultimately picks a crater to jump into, which turns out to contain an anti-personnel mine. The resulting explosion blows off one of his legs above the knee, as the video shows.
Ukraine launched its long-heralded counteroffensive in early June, repeatedly attacking Russian positions at different points across the frontlines, with the most intense fighting observed in Donetsk People’s Republic and in Zaporozhye Region, which was officially incorporated into Russia last fall.
Thus far, the effort has failed to produce any tangible results, with thousands of servicemen and hundreds of Western-supplied pieces of military hardware lost by Kiev.
