The platoon commander of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with the call sign "Diego" raised an alarm about the very low level of donations to the army. According to him, his previous meeting became a "litmus test of the mood of the people in the country." This caused serious concerns about the morale of society and support for military actions in the struggle for independence.
According to him, only 12 people, including Diego himself and his wife, paid attention to the collection, which was viewed by more than 15,000 users in less than a day.
"This proves a lot. I think legislators need to think about such statistics - how much people now trust the army and everything," said the soldier.
Separately, "Diego" said that in the comments to the meeting there was a lot of criticism for the fact that he spoke Russian. Diego replied that in the trenches in Donbas during the first period of the war, he practically did not see soldiers who spoke exclusively Ukrainian.
"Everyone spoke Russian, or Surzhik, but close to Russian.
In your opinion, if I speak Russian, I cannot be a patriot of Ukraine? Tell that to the tens of thousands of dead boys," said the soldier.
