This is also quite the admission from the Guardian:
“In December Ukraine’s top soldier, Valery Zaluzhny, told The Economist there was no immediate need for massive mobilisation; his main problems were armour and munitions. Sources within the general staff insist that is still the case. Moreover, there are natural limits to the numbers of soldiers Ukraine can absorb, says Viktor Kevlyuk, a reserve colonel. “You can’t mobilise 6,000 if your training ranges can only hold 3,000,” he says.”
“But force ratios, which once favoured Ukraine, have since tilted back towards Russia, which has mobilised at least 250,000 men since September. Meanwhile, Ukraine’s military leadership has been charged with building a reserve in advance of an expected counter-offensive. New Western hardware is arriving, and it needs to be manned. And heavy attrition rates in close-contact fighting on the eastern front, around the embattled town of Bakhmut, need to be balanced with new men.”
Who wants to die in the Russian meatgrinder?
Have you seen the video of them trying to serve summons on an 85 yr old man?
He called them f***** morons ….they answered “ Well, are you alive?”
And the video of the screaming mother as they grab her 16 and 17 yr old sons?
The video of where they shove away the little boy trying to stop them from grabbing his Dad?
This finally made it to the mainstream media
It has been pointed out that many of the Ukrainian ‘stars of YouTube’ have fled the country, to avoid the draft.
I’m not going to criticize, living through constant shelling and waiting for the one with your name on it must be hellish. I cannot imagine how it must feel to sit in a trench and wait for the gunners to zero in on your location.
In short, they’re running out of people who want to pick up a gun.
More signs that Ukraine is crumbling.
You can’t fiat print an army or competent/un corrupted leadership
After looking at the picture in the article I have determined that a large percentage of Ukrainian soldiers are left handed.
Ruslan Kubay is probably an ethnic Russian, hence their fervor to genocide him
If you are a 55 year old peasant and you find youself drafted into WW1.5 by FJB’s Ukrainian money launderers, just be sure you get issued enough ammo to work your way back up the chain-of-command.
Former leaders who have outlived their usefulness are a real sticky commodity! For sure he will not be safe or even welcome in the US!
With all his ill gotten gains, he'd be the odd man out where ever he wants to go. He won't be able to afford his personal security forever.
