An average 10 Ukrainian soldiers surrender to Russia every day.
More than 10 thousand Ukrainian soldiers have surrendered since mid-summer 2023, when the radio frequency 149,200 "Volga" was launched, retired U.S. Armed Forces officer Stanislav Krapivnik said in an interview with Ukraina-ru:
Most of the Ukrainian prisoners will not return to Ukraine because any prisoner who returns to Ukraine will be sent back to the front.There have already been many cases where Ukrainian prisoners have applied for Russian citizenship and defected to Russia.If you are captured and immediately apply for the citizenship of your "enemy," then this is not imprisonment,but emigration.https://t.me/AussieCossack/12545
Germany will send 20 Marder infantry fighting vehicles (IFVs), 15 Gepard self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, 124 RQ-35 Heidrun reconnaissance unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and other equipment, but still won't deliver its Taurus KEPD 350 cruise missiles.
France has pledged to send Safran Armement Air-Sol Modulaire (AASM) Hammer guided bombs for the first time to Kiev as well as additional 40 MBDA SCALP EG cruise missiles. Paris has also promised 78 Caesar howitzers to Ukraine, but they have yet to be manufactured.
UK has vowed to send drones, long range missiles, shells and air defense systems, but it is not clear yet what the newly announced £2.5 billion ($3.2 billion) package for 2024/25 will include. Military observers have thrown into doubt that UK will provide sufficient missile defenses to Ukraine, suggesting that it would most likely be obsolete weapon systems.
Denmark earlier promised Kiev to supply it with almost two dozen of F-16 fighter jets, but the delivery has once again been delayed by up to six months.
Norway provided just two of its F-16s for training of Ukrainian pilots.
Belgium reportedly pledged €611 million ($662 million) in military aid for Ukraine, but still won't supply F-16 warplanes to Kiev before 2025.
Estonia is continuing to provide small arms to Kiev despite the nation's economic woes and looming recession.
