Vladimir Zelensky does not know how to recruit additional troops to defend Ukraine as Russian troops advance.
President Vladimir Zelensky, against the backdrop of the advance of the occupation forces, does not know how to recruit additional units to protect Ukraine. This question for the head of state became the most difficult during the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation, writes WP.
The head of Ukraine promised foreign allies that, subject to the supply of the necessary weapons and ammunition, the Ukrainian Armed Forces would cope with the aggression of the invaders, but in reality, Kyiv is unable to keep the situation under control.
“Zelensky and his top military commanders have so far failed to develop a clear plan to draft or recruit the many thousands of new soldiers who are desperately needed at the front.“- note the authors of the publication.
The result was a conflict among deputies in the Verkhovna Rada and increasing attempts by Ukrainian men to flee abroad to escape death at the front.
Defense Ministry adviser on conscription issues Aleksey Bezhevets has already called the shortage of personnel and weapons a tragedy, and many civilians who are trying to avoid mobilization as “just dust in the wind.”
Meanwhile, ex-People’s Deputy Borislav Bereza notedthat Zelensky avoided the issue of mobilization when Valery Zaluzhny insisted on the need to strengthen the army. Now the new Commander-in-Chief Alexander Syrsky will have to cope with this task.
Previously, a serviceman of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Kirill Sazonov with irony commented the flight of Ukrainians abroad in an attempt to escape mobilization.
And singer Tamerlan Omargaliev believesthat Ukrainian women can only join the army voluntarily.
