Even as he promises international partners that Ukraine will handle the fighting if given needed weapons and other support, President Volodymyr Zelensky and his top military commanders have failed so far to come up with a clear plan to conscript or recruit many thousands of new soldiers critically needed to defend against Russia’s continuing attacks.
Zelensky’s inability to forge a political consensus on a mobilization strategy — despite months of warnings about a severe shortage of qualified troops on the front — has fueled deep divisions in Ukraine’s parliament and more broadly in Ukrainian society. It has left the military relying on a hodgepodge of recruiting efforts and sown panic among fighting-age men, some of whom have gone into hiding, worried that they will be drafted into an ill-equipped army and sent to certain death given that aid for Ukraine remains stalled in Washington. The quandary over how to fill the ranks has confronted Zelensky with perhaps the greatest challenge to his leadership since the start of the February 2022 invasion.

I trust you get paid for this level of trolling?
No one has to fight in the Ukrainian army because as an American citizen they believe we should support an ally against Russia.
As for calling people “girls” I guess you’re just that childish.

Can you rephrase that mumbo jumbo, please?
And:
“I As for calling people “girls” I guess you’re just that childish.”
Oh stop being such a stick in the mud.
Very very well said.
Nice, and thanks!👍
Terse with candor, very balanced.
That’s a reminder of why I love FreeRepublic!
We do have the best, despite what seems to dominate by sheer quantity sometimes.
Gotta go donate some, been in a funk, regarding that. You give me hope.
After reading the replies to your post, it isn’t odd how the thin skinned propagandists don’t like being called out of the comfort zone of their unified ukraniac propaganda threads.
They’re all mouthy when their fellow leftist travelers are there to support them with voluminous rhetoric on those clear propaganda threads, but when alone and hanging alongside the wind of their own nauseating noxious gas, they wilt like Vietnam protest supporting leftist flowers in the gun barrels of of national guard rifles.
They side with leftists, democrats and corrupt political grifters. They’re known by the company they keep and the company they saddle beside are demons.
Good on ya for calling them out.
I’d buy the next round if we were sitting next to one another.
He could promise them a grand funeral.
p.s. You forgot to include revmommy?
RevMom...”women should not teach”. It’s Biblical.
If she’s a “rev” mom she’s from the leftist part of the Methodist church.
It’s clear virtue signaling right there in the name.
‘Nuff said
That aid would not do a thing to help that situation in Ukraine. 62 billion bucks can’t fix what over a 100 billion wasn’t able to do.
As I’m not on the book of faces I’d have never known this.
Thank you for putting it out there for full exposure and share it often please.
>We do have the best, despite what seems to dominate by sheer quantity sometimes.<
Zeepers are much smaller in number than pro-America Freepers.
They just have much bigger mouths.
Thank you!
First of all I was responding to a post on which I was tagged without having said a damn thing.
So much for people “sitting behind their keyboard”.
Next, no one can take seriously jerks like you who think anyone who supports an ally should go join their army.
It’s the Putin freaks who are absolutely obsessed.
Right, imagine this jerk pinged people who weren’t saying a thing;
And then had the nerve to accuse US of sitting behind our keyboards and daring to disagree with him.
You people are a bunch of friggin kooks.
What are you all drunk tonight?
People disagree with you. Boo hoo.
My post, 44, is responding to your post 42.
Your post 32 indicates your participation in this thread.
I pinged you because I mentioned you in my post, 44, which follows longtime FReeper etiquette.

Sorry, Ukraine is NOT our ally except perhaps in your fevered imagination. It is also NOT our enemy. WE SHOULD NO INVOLVE OURSELVES in this INCREASINGLY WORLD WAR ONE TYPE SITUATION.
