In an interview with Online.UA, veteran of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Dmytro "Ivich" Verbych commented on how Ukrainian soldiers treat the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrskyi.
What do the military say about Syrskyi
I know that Syrsky really tried to act more effectively. The people in the headquarters were seated so that everyone could pass through the front line. And he tried to make some such changes, said Dmytro "Ivich" Verbych.
A veteran of the Ukrainian Armed Forces said the life of the Ukrainian infantry still remains extremely difficult and even more difficult than during the First and Second World Wars.
Because of this multilevelness, because getting in and out of the position is a whole adventure. When there is no trench, you are exposed, and it is difficult to do it inconspicuously. People now walk 9 kilometers there just to get to the position. The infantry is not only young guys, there are also men in their 50s, so it is difficult for them.

Robots cannot yet replace soldiers at the front
According to a veteran of the Armed Forces, turrets and robotic systems are just beginning.
No one in the military can deny the fact that the human is still the more effective unit on the battlefield.
So for now, these are auxiliary tools. We can thereby reduce the number of people who participate in the battles on this part of the front, but without people there will still be nothing. People have to hold this line, — explains Dmytro Verbych.
"Ivich" emphasizes that Ukrainian men who have not yet found the strength and motivation must finally find it in order to save their families and their homeland.
They (Ukrainians — ed.) should look for units, find out about commanders who will use them effectively, will value them, will not waste their lives thoughtlessly, with quality training. It is necessary to join them, because otherwise we will simply die.
