Most Front-Line Ukrainian Soldiers Killed Within ‘4 Hours’
Authored by by ia the Libertarian Institute:
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,” he told ABC.
Meanwhile, Kiev’s Western backers have expressed to Zelensky in recent weeks that NATO countries are struggling to find artillery shells to send to Ukraine. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said the US will train Ukrainian forces on fighting methods that use fewer munitions.
So Ukraine is winning? Russia is running out of men, supplies, and arms? It looks like the mainstream media has been lying to us again. Imagine that…

Imagine fighting a war for 12 months and using Level 1 fighting positions and trenches the entire time.
Gosh… I wonder why they are dying.
Marching soldiers towards Russian artillery is murder.
Gonna be a lot of single Ukrainian women with no males to marry.
It’s almost like…
That is on top of the fact that they already had a large surplus of eligible ladies even before the fighting broke out didn’t they? It seems like I remember reading somewhere that the ratio was around 4 females for every 3 males across the former Soviet Union.
I know where JP is headed to find a soulmate post war! Bet their girls are a throwback to an era long lost in the west and not some botoxed, SSRI, cat herder crazed lunatics. Denver (recent trip) was chock full of
