This is right up there with UK MI6 agitprop talking endlessly about ahd propping up the narrative of the Ghost of Kiev.

Despite the neocon propaganda from some who post here, The Wall Street Journal detailed how badly things are faring for the Orkrainians:

Wall Street Journal
A Year Into War, Ukraine Faces Challenges Mobilizing Troops
3/23/23

“When Russia invaded in February last year, thousands of volunteers lined up outside military recruitment centers. *With many of them now dead or injured,* Ukrainian authorities are scrambling to recruit replacements, *often drafting those who have neither the desire nor the training to serve.* The result is a growing number of fighting-age men *who are attempting to evade service.* ... videos appearing to show men *being roughed up by enlistment officers* for refusing a summons. A disabled person *was drafted in western Ukraine and pronounced fit for service despite having no hands.* Another died on the front lines *within a month of mobilization after 10 days of training,* according to his relatives. ...”

2/2 Zelensky’s latest admission: In an interview with Japanese newspaper Yomiuri Shimbun he declared that “We do not have ammunition. For us the situation in the East is not good.”

Zelensky’s admission adds credence to what the Washington Post recently reported regarding how poorly Kiev’s forces are faring in this conflict, especially its “severe ammunition shortages” that one of its sources spoke about.

Ukrainian Lieutenant Colonel Andrey Marochko:

Kyiv’s forces are losing at least 500 fighters in the area of Bakhmut on a daily basis

They could raise that out of 31 year old men alone. There is a huge gap in the 20-somethings, but put it all together and yes they could. It’s a country of 41 million don’t forget.

At least not in reserve. Any massed troops will be destroyed by Russian artillery.

Even if there were that many, they won’t have much chance against the 400,000 or so Russians available to stop them.

“There aren’t 200,000 military aged males left alive in Ukraine.”

Only in your fantasies.
