– I’m in hell. I am not whining or complaining now. When they break through the front, I get my gun, put on my body armor, and try to kill someone before I die,” Jerkin wrote.
Breeds: – Completely rotten
Hell’s massacre
He believes that Ukraine, which promised him a $100,000 reward, will kill him.
– They will kill me. But then I will feel no shame, and that way you can say I will feel good, writes the man also known by his pseudonym, Strelkov.
Girkin does not believe at all that Russia will succeed in Ukraine and believes that the next Ukrainian attack will be very deadly.

– It is impossible to describe military incompetence. This is a colossal betrayal and it will be a hell of a massacre when the Ukrainians attack next. Girkin writes that the Russian army and its high command had no chance of success.
Earlier in December, Girkin came out and said that Russian officers are unhappy with President Vladimir Putin and other military leaders for the mishandling of the war.
He believes that the Russian army needs major changes and more qualified people.
– Not only me. People in the military are not blind or deaf. Those in the middle of the ladder, Girkin said, are not afraid to say what they think and are not very nice to the president or the secretary of defense.
