I'd like to point out to at the Ukrainian incompetence is well-founded. In that the period leading up to the ousting of Yanukovych, the Ukrainian military went through drastic cuts and increased corruption. It was quite possible to buy a commission much like the British were able to in the 1700s. Like what the British discovered, allowing an unqualified person to purchase rank is unmitigated disaster in a real military situation
