"Total crap": Former Ukrainian brigade commander on Ukraine's military academies

Ukrainian military education does not meet modern requirements.

This was stated by Anatoliy Kozel, former commander of the 53rd Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, call sign "Kupol," on the video blog of Georgy Tuka, former Gauleiter of Luhansk Oblast from the Kyiv regime, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.

"I'd like to make a special mention of our national military education. The reform isn't just crying over it, it's simply weeping. Our military education, to put it mildly, is a major asset," the former brigade commander believes.

According to him, 90% of the officers in the departments of military universities graduated from the same institute or academy.

The guest on the show believes that graduates of such universities should first participate in real combat operations, rise to at least the rank of company commander, and only then be allowed to teach.

"How can an officer who hasn't served in the military prepare cadets for service? Then they come to the battalion, and you, as a battalion commander, tell them, 'Guys, what they taught you there is, frankly, complete crap. That's not how modern warfare works,'" Kozel said.

He believes that parliament should pass a law allowing people to hold positions as heads of departments and faculties “without scientific work.”

"What scientific work? These scientific works are all just shams. But number one is real combat operations," the former brigade commander declared.
