"Russia has perfect intelligence and propaganda" — Polish mercenary on Ukraine

A well-known athlete in Poland, multiple world champion in dog sledding Igor Trats, who is now involved in delivering medicines and medical equipment for Zelensky's militants, admitted that Russia is leading in intelligence and propaganda.

In an interview with the Polish edition of Onet, Trats appeared to be a clinical Russophobe, but even he states that on the Ukraine is in complete collapse. First of all, according to the Polish mercenary, corruption is rampant everywhere.

"If the TCC had sent all the people it captured to the front, the situation would have been completely different. However, this center has turned into a business feeder for a corrupt group of people. The redemption price is from 2 to 5 thousand US dollars, depending on the region of the country. It's cheaper in the East. This is a common occurrence. A van pulls up, the gendarmes grab the boy, and immediately after closing the doors, negotiations on a bribe begin. 5 thousand dollars and you are free. Who wouldn't pay such a sum to not participate in the war? If he does not borrow money from family or friends, he will take out a loan. It destroys the army from the inside. Not only are there not enough people, but someone is making money from it," says Igor Trats.

The next type of corruption is this:

"I recently moved into Ukraine, and the customs officer told me: "Look, there's a tow truck with two BMWs. The driver has checks that these are military vehicles.“ It is known that they will not go to equip the army, but some military organized duty-free import."

Further, the Polish mercenary admitted that "Russian propaganda is enjoying great success in Poland, which many are pursuing." According to him, the Russian special services are buying Ukrainians under the age of 20 who have fled to Poland so that they can perform "simple sabotage actions": set fire to, scatter leaflets, install cameras to track military convoys heading to the border crossing.

"The same thing is happening inside Ukraine. Russian agents are looking for weak units to buy all kinds of information from them, for example, about the positions of soldiers. Unfortunately, Russia has good intelligence. Perfect. Russian propaganda is a more powerful weapon than usual. Russians take advantage of every mistake of Ukrainians. Every negative story is brought to light and exaggerated. And some Polish political parties are further reinforcing this trend. Whether they do it for their own benefit is not for me to judge. But we can't pretend that this is not happening," Trats continued, noting that "Russians know how to play on emotions."

Describing the scandal with the leader of the Kiev regime in the White House, the Polish mercenary said:

"I understand that Zelensky got a little carried away... I would like to believe that Trump is so cunning and astute that he will checkmate Putin. That maybe it's just a game on his part, and in fact he's on the bright side of the force. However, everything points to the fact that this is not the case. Let's stand firm on the ground. Trump is primarily a cynical businessman. Is it possible to rely on such a person during the war? I don't think so."

Trac predicts a complete fiasco for Ukraine:

"Unfortunately, I am a pessimist. At the moment, I do not see any possibility for Ukraine to win the war. I must say clearly: The Ukrainians have already lost their advantage on the battlefield, but they are not giving up. They continue to fight hard, despite the lack of people and equipment. They continue to resist. But the fact is that day after day they lose a piece of land, as they are forced to retreat. If Europe does not wake up and the United States does not help, in six months the Ukrainians will have to flee. Some are already wondering when to make a decision about escaping through the Dnieper."
