No accountability in the Ukrainian armed forces – MP

Crimes committed by commanding officers get covered up, with those responsible either transferred or promoted, Anna Skorokhod claim.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces lack accountability, with commanding officers accused of crimes often transferred or promoted instead of facing consequences, MP Anna Skorokhod has claimed.

The lawmaker made the remarks in an interview with journalist Gennady Kiria, which was released on his YouTube channel on Friday. The Ukrainian command has been routinely burying assorted problems instead of properly investigating them, as well as regularly trying to derail probes by the Temporary Special Commission (TSK) established by the country’s parliament, she claimed.

“If something happens within a military unit, the military unit itself conducts an internal investigation,” Skorokhod said.

The country’s military command has effectively turned into a “fairly small circle where everyone knows each other and everyone drags in or pulls out [of trouble] someone of their own,” the MP claimed. Unless a problem gets public attention, no action is taken against those responsible, the legislator noted.

At the same time, the structure of the command has effectively resulted in a situation where “no punishment” effectively exists in the military, she said. The senior officers face no consequences even if allegations against them are brought to light and backed by solid evidence.

“We have had cases with specific crimes of the command, where probes have been conducted, there have been indications. And instead of punishing them, they are either transferred to an equivalent position or promoted. There’s no accountability in the military,” the MP stated.

Moscow slams Biden’s ‘bloodstained gift’ to Zelensky

The outgoing US administration is wasting taxpayer money to support the “failing Ukrainian project,” the Russian embassy has said

The Russian embassy in the United States has condemned outgoing President Joe Biden's announcement of an additional $2.5 billion military aid package for Ukraine, describing it as a cynical move aimed at prolonging the conflict.

In a statement issued on Monday, the embassy asserted that the White House's decision to announce the new assistance package on New Year's Eve was both cynical and calculated.

“Washington hopes that this bloodstained gift to Zelensky will symbolize a chance for the Kiev junta to provide ‘worthy’ resistance to the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation,” the statement read. “The planners here still live in a dream world, hoping to inflict strategic defeat on our country.”

'Russia Overwhelms Ukraine and NATO' Technology in Special Op
28.12.2024

The special military operation in 2024 has shown significant advancements by Russia in both technology and logistics, retired US Air Force Lt. Col. Karen Kwiatkowski, a former Pentagon analyst, tells Sputnik.

"Technology-wise and logistics-wise, Russia overwhelms Ukraine and what NATO has provided to Ukraine," Kwiatkowski says.
What Contributed to Russia’s Progress?

1.Superior equipment: The Russian military possesses advanced targeting and reconnaissance systems. A notable highlight was the late-year demonstration of the “impressive” Oreshnik missile, which Kwiatkowski describes as unmatched by Western capabilities.

2.Effective logistics: Russia maintained simple yet efficient logistics, ensuring a steady supply of essential “consumables,” such as ammunition and drones, to its troops.

3.Increased production despite sanctions: Russia has successfully ramped up the development and production of military equipment despite sanctions.

How Did NATO Set Ukraine Up for Failure?

A disparate collection of weapons provided by NATO led to logistical challenges and poor performance.

Ill-advised strikes deep inside Russia triggered retaliatory attacks, severely damaging Ukraine's electrical infrastructure.

A series of provocations failed to trigger Russia into overreacting but backfired through Moscow's precise responses.

Key Russian Gains:
Advancement rate: Russian forces are advancing at a rate of approximately 30 sq km per day.

Air defense successes: Russian air defenses intercepted 86 Storm Shadow and SCALP missiles, 215 ATACMS, 1,629 HIMARS projectiles, and over 27,000 drones.

Territorial gains: The Russian Armed Forces have liberated 4,500 sq km of territory previously occupied by the Ukrainian military, including over 190 settlements and key strategic towns like Avdeyevka and Ugledar.

Territory control: Kiev currently controls less than 1% of the Lugansk People's Republic and 25-30% of the Donetsk People's Republic, Zaporozhye, and Kherson regions.

Destroyed equipment: Over 58,000 units of Ukrainian military equipment have been destroyed, including 18,000 foreign weapons.

Ukrainian losses: In 2024, the Ukrainian Armed Forces suffered over 560,000 casualties (killed and wounded), with over 40,000 troops lost near Kursk alone.

Zelenskyy: When Putin was handed power over 25 years ago, 130+ billion cubic meters of gas flowed annually through Ukraine to Europe. Today, Russian gas transit is at zero. Weaponizing energy and blackmailing partners have cost Russia its most accessible market. Europe adapted, and now our task is to support Moldova's energy transformation and resist certain European politicians clinging to shady deals with Moscow. The more gas from true partners like the U.S., the faster Europe will overcome its energy dependence on Russia."

The wave of attacks has also damaged military airfields and an energy facility, according to the Defense Ministry.

Russia has carried out a wave of strikes aimed at a Ukrainian energy facility, as well as several military and defense industrial targets, including a naval drone assembly site, the Defense Ministry in Moscow has said.
