From elite IDF combat unit to Ukrainian army:
….In fact, Fibobrov, who served in Golani Brigade, a prestigious infantry unit, enlisted to one of the combat units in the Ukrainian army seven years ago.
He is currently stationed on the front line, where troops are preparing for a possible invasion of the Russian army. “We hold our position, but in relation to the situation before, the Russians are much more aggressive and provocative, and they are breaking the truce a lot more,” he said.
“The army’s morale is high, the Ukrainian army is well prepared for any scenario. We can respond well to possible Russian attacks, thanks to the United States and Britain. The war in Ukraine has been going on for eight years and the world only noticing it right now,” he said, referring to the armed conflict in the Donbas region of Ukraine, part of the broader Russo-Ukrainian War.
[Lila: of course, the latest news is that the Russians have the battle plans for a Ukrainian invasion planned for March, which accounts for the massing of Ukrainian troops at the border.]
……Fibobrov serves in the Aidar Battalion, an assault battalion of the Ukrainian Ground Forces considered to be one of the best in the military.
“During international military drills with Lithuanians, Bulgarians, Romanians, and Poles, the battalion showed excellent results and was also praised by other foreign armies. Ukraine has been doing a lot of international training and there’s a lot of knowledge exchange between our army and NATO forces.”
