Kyle Anzalone | Most Front-Line Ukrainian Soldiers Killed Within ‘4 Hours’ | A retired American Marine fighting in Ukraine told ABC News the frontlines are a “meat grinder” where soldiers survive an average of “four hours.” ● Troy Offenbecker is fighting alongside Ukrainian forces in the Donbas region. Moscow and Kiev have been battling around Bakhmut for several months as Russia’s forces have slowly made gains around the city. ● In January, Germany estimated Kiev was losing a “three-digit number” of soldiers daily fighting for Bakhmut. At that time, the White House believed President Volodymyr Zelensky was committing too many lives and resources to defend the city. ● Offenbecker’s commentary suggests that the situation may be getting worse for Ukrainian soldiers. “It’s been pretty bad on the ground. A lot of casualties.” He assessed, “the life expectancy is around four hours on the frontline.” He said the Russian attack on the city is not letting up and had turned into a “meat grinder.” “[The artillery] is nonstop.” Offenbecker explained the Russian forces are fighting around the clock. “[The Russians] have maybe run into a shortage of shells lately, but the past couple of weeks, it’s been nonstop. All day and night.”■ "They don't care about Ukraine. They care about world hegemony" | The U.S. involvement in the conflict in Ukraine is "really an awful thing." "They don't care about Ukraine. They care about world hegemony and defeating Russia," a renowned U.S. anti-war activist has said. "If we keep going in the direction we're going, not only will we bankrupt ourselves, but we could destroy the world. And that's very, very scary," said Eric Garris, director of Antiwar.com, of Washington's one-year support for arming Ukraine against Russia in an interview with Xinhua.
