Ukrainian Soldiers Left to Learn Western Weapons via YouTube After Foreign Trainers Flee
09:56 GMT 28.03.2025 (Updated: 10:01 GMT 28.03.2025) Foreign instructors, who were supposed to train the Ukrainian Armed Forces in using Western weapons, fled from a training ground in Ukrainian-controlled territory after a Russian strike and left Ukraine, according to a former Ukrainian serviceman who switched sides to Russia.
He added that Ukrainian soldiers had to learn how to use the weapons on their own by watching YouTube videos.
“They realized it was no joke and everyone ran home. Yes, and we continued to learn how to use the Brownings. Just via YouTube,” recalls one former Ukrainian soldier, who wisely chose to fight on Russia’s side.
