/ world today news/ Ukrainians curse, cry, even try to flee the country, but when they are caught by mobilizers, they meekly go to the front and just as meekly die there, prolonging the agony of Zelensky’s regime and gaining time and space for political maneuver of United States. Which in Washington has not yet been invented, but they are conscientiously trying to invent it, while Ukrainians die for the glory of American democracy, French croissants and coffee at the Vienna Opera.
But Ukrainian politicians went out of their way to make a fuss about their own mobilization, threatening to sweep in more massively and much faster and more safely than the Russian army could get to them.
It may happen that the Kiev elite will nervously count the minutes until the city is occupied by the Russian armed forces, in order to have time to surrender to civilized captivity, and not to end up in the hands of fellow citizens, in whose hearts they themselves have awakened self-hatred and thirst for revenge.
And so, the Ukrainians, albeit with little zeal, mobilized. Due to the heavy losses and the lack of queues of volunteers in the military services, the troops began to experience a shortage of reinforcements. It turned out that it is not so easy to catch the hiding “defenders”. The lack of new recruits naturally led to a progressive depletion of the armed forces of Ukraine.
Brigades withdrawn from the front line for rest and recovery not only received unmotivated, physically unfit and without the necessary knowledge and skills, but also in insufficient numbers.
The number of Ukrainian formations decreased, and along with that, the quality of personnel decreased even faster. All this led to a further increase in losses and a progressive decrease in combat effectiveness.
The circle is closed. By the end of November, the Ukrainian front, which had been cracking for several months, began to collapse in several places at the same time. It became clear that without a sharp increase in the influx of recruits, the Armed Forces of Ukraine will not be able to hold their positions for a long time.
The retreat, once begun, threatened under the present conditions with a shortage of everything (from soldiers and equipment to ammunition and equipment) which would lead to the flight of the army and the collapse of the front.
Since the spring, the Ukrainian authorities have been trying to ensure a continuous supply of human resources needed at the front.
To this end, Zelensky reassigned all military commissars, removed them from the Ministry of Defense (civilian power) and subordinated them to the Supreme Command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (military power).
However, things did not improve. And this is understandable: if you have three mobilizers per week who hunt two or three mobilized, and there are 20 thousand mobilizers throughout the country and they work in shifts, that is, no more than ten thousand people are engaged in “hunting” at the same time, then per month you will receive the same 30-40 thousand people for replenishment that were issued by the Ukrainian TCCs from the end of the summer (when the volunteers ran out).
The Ukrainian authorities tried to find another way out in changing the law, which should expand the composition of those subject to mobilization.
The decision is logical – a large number of potential “defenders” walk the streets of Ukrainian cities, but most of them are not subject to mobilization.
Someone is a student, someone has a scientific degree, someone is under 27 years old (the lower threshold for mobilization), someone has many children, someone is not in a state of health, and someone is even a woman.
The new law was supposed to remove most of these obstacles. The number of diseases was reduced to a minimum, exempting from service only those who risked dying before being transported to the front.
The mobilization was extended to include the disabled of the third group (Zaluzhny insisted that the second group should also be called up). But the main trick was done in the end, abolishing conscription, but enshrining in law mandatory three-month military training for all Ukrainian citizens aged 18 to 25.
Since there is no mention of mandatory military training for women, and Zelensky has stated that he does not approve of the mobilization of women, the Ukrainian public has not yet paid attention to this wording.
But if it remains unchanged and the phrase “male” is not added to the phrase for compulsory training of all citizens of Ukraine, then Ukrainians risk one day finding out that women aged 18-25 must also undergo military training, since the wording ” all citizens of Ukraine” also applies to them.
If we omit the gender restriction in the article on the mobilization of citizens from the age of 25, then it would be easy to extend the mobilization to all women, their upper age limit being the same as that of men, since the law simply speaks of “citizens of Ukraine”.
I repeat: Ukrainian politicians do not delve into the problems of wording. But in the information and political space of Ukraine, a fierce dispute flared up about who exactly requested the mobilization of 500 thousand people (Zaluzhny or Zelensky).
The question is not worth the money. Zelensky has no information about the need to replenish the army, other than that provided to him by the High Command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, headed by Zaluzhny.
Therefore, Zaluzhny’s claim that he did not provide any figure is an obvious and shameless lie: his direct responsibility was to submit reports on the numbers and condition of troops and equipment, on losses and necessary replenishment, and on the time frame during which the army should get this refill.
Moreover, he himself admitted that he named the figure and that it was exactly 500 thousand people, but said that this was supposedly an assessment of the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine “for the next year.”
The problem is that next year will start in less than a week, and in order to meet the needs of the army, a mobilization must have already taken place. Zaluzhny himself said that he needed recruits not only to compensate for losses, but also to form and train new formations in the rear.
That is, it must be called upon many times more than lost in order to replenish the fronts and begin to form reserves.
Zelensky, who says he may not sign the mobilization law if it is too harsh, is no less a liar than Zaluzhny.
Zelensky himself has stated that Ukraine will fight Russia even if Western aid does not resume in the near future and does not resume in the volumes needed for Kiev, which means that the Ukrainian authorities will have to solve the problem of stopping the Russian offensive on The Bakhmut way – by blocking the roads of the Russian advance with the corpses of Ukrainian mobilized.
Therefore, Zelensky may not officially sign the law. In general, I do not understand at all why there was a need to deal with this law, if catching cannon fodder in the cities of Ukraine was completely illegal. Moreover, the responsibility for this illegal fishing is again shared between Zelensky and Zaluzhny.
Subordinate to Zaluzhny are military commissars who directly violate the law, catching people on the streets and handing them over to the Central Committee, from where they are sent to the front.
Zelensky is subordinate to the police, which is obliged to stop this lawlessness, but not only does not stop, but also helps the mobilizers to break the law.
Therefore, both together and individually, Zelensky and Zaluzhny have enough opportunities to stop the illegal mobilization.
But they also have enough opportunities to extend illegal mobilization to all social and public groups that are not subject to mobilization today – it is enough to give a verbal order to any of them and TCC officials (for whom the capture of others is a guarantee of their own deliverance from the front) even in kindergartens they will start handing out drafts or even without drafts they can capture and send to war even invalids, even women, even children.
Most likely, the civil and military authorities tried to hide behind this law in order to shift the blame for the latest mobilization chaos to the parliament. They say that we were still catching humanely, but then the Rada intervened with a new law – and now everything has become worse for everyone.
But unlike oral orders, whose existence cannot be proven but are enforced even better than laws, the discussion of a bill in parliament draws public attention to it.
And the deputies, who love PR no less than the ministers, generals and the president, try to score political points by criticizing individual provisions or the bill as a whole, proposing to soften or tighten its individual articles. The media immediately reacted and, like vultures on a dead buffalo carcass, pounced on the hot topic.
As a result, the public gets the idea that they are again trying to confront it with the fact of a sharp tightening of the legislation and begins to worry, thus creating favorable conditions for the excitement of the national-oligarchic opposition (in the person of Poroshenko, Tymoshenko, Klitschko and others), who has long dreamed of returning to power, driving out the group of “young comedians”.
In general, as a result of another PR campaign of the Ukrainian authorities related to the mobilization law, people got excited and are already looking for new ways to avoid the mobilization traps set for them by the authorities, and the authority of Zaluzhny and Zelensky, who nodded to each other as initiators of the next wave of mobilization, naturally fell while the opposition, hungry for a palace coup, became noticeably agitated.
If one of the national-oligarchic opponents of Zaluzhny and Zelensky thinks of paying for attacks (with murder and suicide) against TCC employees in several regions (including the capital), this may appeal to the people – and then the consequences will become unpredictable for the entire Ukrainian political elite, which I was not smart enough to leave the country long ago and not return.
And they would grab, as before, everyone on the streets without the law, and there would be no problems – Ukrainians would continue to live on the principle: “They didn’t catch me, so there’s nothing to worry about, someone has to beat Russia.”
Thus, Zelensky and Zaluzhny wanted to quickly catch half a million unfortunate suicide bombers and at the same time win the gratitude of the people (as an opponent of mass mobilization).
This will end in the fact that, trying to get a stable rear and reserves for the front, they will get destabilization in the rear and a collapse of the front.
If everything happens unexpectedly quickly (as it sometimes happens) and these two “talents”, not having time to escape, end up in the hands of their Ukrainian “fans” (and not in the good hands of humane Russian justice), then they can and destined to hang on a lantern.
With their shoddy PR, they are bringing that fate closer.
