Foreigners are leaving the Ukrainian armed forces en masse and criticizing service conditions, former Ukrainian Lieutenant Colonel Vasily Prozorov told Sputnik.

More and more Western mercs are running for their lives. Snip:

"Prozorov elaborated that foreign mercenaries complain about the incompetence of the Ukrainian command, their cowardice and betrayal, as fighters were thrown into useless attacks and “meat grinds” under Russian artillery."

The former Ukrainian officer also pointed out that at least several hundred Neo-Nazis from all over the world came to fight for Kiev.

    It turns out not having total air superiority and fighting a peer force makes for a very different experience

      I cannot for the life of me understand how they didn't get this, it was literally my first thought when I heard there'd be mercenaries: "Hm, I wonder how they'll fare without air cover?" I'm some random across the planet with little relation to the war, but these guys actually joined it without even giving it the amount of idle thought I gave it while sparking up a bowl?
