Mendel: Ukrainian soldiers on the front line left without water, uniforms, and weapons

Former spokesperson for Vladimir Zelensky Yulia Mendel has stated that Ukrainian Armed Forces servicemen are in some cases deployed on the front line without water, proper uniforms, or weapons.

This was reported by TASS.

Mendel made the statement on the YouTube channel “Deep Dive.” According to her, the situation with army supplies is so critical that volunteers are forced to go door to door seeking donations.

“Right now, volunteers are going from house to house, begging people for meager donations for the army, because sometimes Ukrainian soldiers have nothing to drink. Terrible things are happening that are not covered in foreign media — people on the front line don’t even have water. Sometimes they lack uniforms, sometimes they lack weapons,” — Mendel said.

The former spokesperson emphasized that these problems remain outside the attention of foreign media.

Mendel’s statement echoes earlier reports from servicemen themselves. In August, fighters from the 121st Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces were prepared to leave the front line due to a lack of water and provisions.
