Before entering Ukraine, Barnes had combat experience in Iraq. He even described the war in the Eastern European country as in Iraq and Afghanistan.

“Isolated fights, around waiting for someone to shoot us. I thought I knew about war, but no. This [di Ukraina baru yang namanya] war This is crazy, “he said.

As someone familiar with the military, Barnes described Ukraine as a military center. This country, he said, has a strong history.

It even considers history not just a show in Ukraine, but a place to live.

Barnes was also fascinated by the way Ukraine has been shaped by politics and war in general, especially in the last century.

“We fought big tanks in the places where Germany and Russia fought, and Russia lost the same way,” he said.

The man, who has traveled to many countries, described Russia from the very beginning as utterly ridiculous. Starting with the limited number of troops in Kiev, the bad treatment of their personnel and the absence of an officer who is not assigned to the arena.

According to Barnets, many Russian soldiers left their weapons on the battlefield. Their equipment is also inadequate, he even calls it “junk equipment”.

“Most of the people we arrest don’t release weapons, but most of the people don’t have them either,” he said.

He also believed that many Russian soldiers were lacking in creativity, untrained and lacking clear leadership.

The Ukrainian army meanwhile had great enthusiasm for exercises and had careful planning. Barnes was not surprised if Kiev troops later managed to retake a number of areas that had been controlled by Moscow troops.
