The main reason for the absence of medical evacuation is simple and gruesome: The fighting is just too intense.
It can take a day or even two for soldiers to get in and out of the fiercest fighting spots – killing any hopes of medics coming to save the wounded.
Left alone at the positions, the soldiers often have to pull out their comrades on their own under heavy shelling, sometimes walking five to seven kilometers to the nearest evacuation points, where vehicles take them to makeshift hospitals.
When soldiers carry their wounded out, the group is easy to spot – and it immediately becomes easy prey to Russian first-person view (FPV) drones and artillery.
We’ll probably be fine.
Don’t believe those who say Ukraine falling is the end of the world just like you shouldn’t believe them when they said Ukraine could win.
This is a lesson in propaganda and indoctrination for us all. Only fools think these are tools exclusive to their enemies.
Ukraine falling means the war moves on to other countries. Russia can’t afford to not have a foreign enemy at this point. If it runs out of enemies, it implodes. By sacrificing ukraine, we get nothing in return.
