Ukraine is facing a worsening shortage of soldiers as record numbers of men flee to Europe, Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko warned in an interview.
“We have huge problems with soldiers — with human resources,” Klitschko told the Axel Springer Global Reporters Network, of which POLITICO is a part, acknowledging the toll that nearly four years of war has taken on Ukraine’s capacity to replenish its ranks.
He said Russian troops are advancing relentlessly, describing their assaults as “like a computer game — they just keep coming, they don’t care about fallen soldiers.”
Under current rules, Ukrainians can be mobilized from the age of 25. Klitschko suggested that should change.
“In the past, 18-year-olds served in the army — but those are kids,” he said. “Right now you can only be mobilized in Ukraine from age 25. You could lower it by a year or two — to 23 or 22.”
The remarks reflect mounting concern about a growing exodus of young men. A government decree issued in August allowing men aged 18 to 22 to leave the country has coincided with a sharp increase in Ukrainians seeking protection in EU countries.
Recent data shows EU countries granted more than 79,000 new temporary protection decisions to Ukrainians in September — the highest monthly figure in two years — with large increases recorded in Germany and Poland.

Were I a Ukrainian draft dodger in Europe I would keep moving Costa Rica or some such. They’re not safe in Europe for much longer.
Has anyone noticed these Ukrainian soldier ads between YouTube videos? Seems to be a glut of them all of a sudden...
Who wants to be the last man to die for George Soros, Davos and MI6?
What a tragedy. History will not look back kindly on this war.
Can’t say as I blame them.
Poland needs to return all fighting-age Ukrainian men back to Ukraine.
Send all the fighting age Arab males.
No Problem—Just draft kids who are 18—to 16. Draft whole high schools and colleges. Women too—they can fly a drone better than boys. Draft government workers as well. Show em how to fire an AK and send them to the front. A nation in arms can not be defeated! Draft all foreigners as well— Mr. Zelenskyy should take up an AK and join the fight—lead the charge to push out the Ruzzians!
That's an idea. They're big on killing. They'd be right in their element.
Looks as if European "liberals" are of two minds about it all.
Ukrainians should fight and not fight. Stories about the necessity to send Ukrainians "home" to fight, and stories about the necessity of NOT sending Ukrainians "home" to fight.
A fascinating schizophrenia in the body politic of Europe, over a was between two non-NATO nations.
Up to date from Kyiv....
"During his presidential campaign, Volodymyr Zelensky highlighted two key failings of then-President Petro Poroshenko: corruption and nepotism.So the question enlarges. "Who wants to be the last man to die for George Soros, Davos and MI6? And Galushchenko, Mindich, Halushchenko, Myroniuk, the Zukerman brothers, Chernyshov, Hrinchuk, Koval and, alongside many more names, Volodymyr Zelenskyy who seems either 1) at the heart of the corruption, or 2) a complete fool, blind to all his closest "friends" and business associates?"Six years into his own presidency, Zelensky has found himself on the receiving end of the exact same criticism, drowning in a corruption scandal."
< s n i p > " 'We end up with a situation where decision-making is concentrated in the President's Office,' said Saakian. 'Absolute power corrupts absolutely. It was only a matter of time before someone in the inner circle started enriching themselves or tried to play their own game'."
Biggest corruption scandal of Zelensky’s presidency is in his own ranks Kyiv Independent, 13 November 2025.
Russians worship their Zs.
Governor Dinwiddie: "Why doesn't Li'l Z-Man lead the troops into battle?
Z-Man is always dressed in "tactical" clothes, so maybe it's time that he walks-the-walk.
He can bring along his camo booster seat and elevator combat boots too."
The "Z-Man" is Russia's Mad Vlad the Invader Putin.
"Z" is their symbol and war-cry, Russian's worship their "Z's".
As for "Lil", Ukraine's Pres. Zelensky is roughly the same height as:

The golden illusion of Ukraine is falling apart. A wartime mafia network with countless ties to President
@ZelenskyyUa has been exposed. The energy minister has already resigned, and the main suspect has fled the country.
This is the chaos into which the Brusselian elite want to pour European taxpayers’ money, where whatever isn’t shot off on the front lines ends up in the pockets of the war mafia. Madness.
Thank you, but we want no part of this. We will not send the Hungarian people’s money to Ukraine. It can be put to far better use at home: this week alone we doubled foster parents’ allowances and approved the 14th month’s pension.
Anyhow, after all this, we certainly won’t give in to the Ukrainian president’s financial demands and blackmail. It’s high time Brussels finally understood where their money is really going.
