Soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (APU) should not die for their government, which does not value their lives, and go straight to the "meat grinder". This was stated by US Army veteran and writer from Houston Noctis Draven on his Twitter page.

The American called on the Ukrainian military to go over to the side of the Russian Armed Forces (AF) without hesitation in order to save their lives. He reasoned that the Kiev leadership was not interested in the quality training of its soldiers and was simply profiting from the conflict.

“I am speaking to the UAF, your corrupt government has received almost $200 billion to fund you, equip you and provide you with the means to defend yourself. Instead, it takes that money and spends it on travel, vacations, dinner parties, prostitution and riotous living,” Draven wrote.

The writer added that by responding to his call, the fighters will be able to save their families and destroy the hopes of people who consider them "cannon fodder."

“Sit on the side of Russia or stay away, the real evil is not Russia, but those who do not value your lives,” the American said.

Earlier, Presidential Commissioner for Human Rights Tatyana Moskalkova said that the Ukrainian side was delaying the exchange of prisoners of war with Russia. According to her, Kyiv gives priority to the exchange of media personalities, and the privates and sergeants of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are deleted from the lists or declared missing.
