A Ukrainian Armed Forces military officer explained why it is necessary to strengthen the mobilization of those liable for military service in Ukraine.
Military Armed Forces of Ukraine and commander of the reconnaissance platoon of the 28th separate mechanized brigade Walid notes that in Ukraine it is necessary to strengthen mobilization activities, because this is “a matter of survival, the army, the combat effectiveness of the troops.”
This is what he’s talking about told in an interview with Ukrayinska Pravda.
“I am perhaps one of the few military men who has an opinion that is unpopular in society, even among the military. We still all watch the news and listen to how it is. And if we make such a generalization about mobilization, it looks like this image: here is some ordinary Ukrainian, he is a very good person, he wants to defend his Motherland, but they didn’t find an approach to him, they didn’t find the key for him to go,” he commented.
According to the military man, most men in Ukraine simply do not want to serve. Because the generation born in 1980-1990 was not raised in patriotism.

“This mood is not among the masses. The fact that we have separate nationalistic or national organizations is not an indicator; these people are very few, if you take a percentage of everyone. I look at the people coming now and their motivation – it’s just sadness. there is something to compare with, as it was at the beginning (of the war – ed.), when everyone gathered, there were queues, then six months later, a year later, I see this gradation or degradation of motivation. It is very low. And if we now look for an approach to everyone, then we simply won’t have time to replenish the army,” explains Walid.
In his opinion, if we talk about strengthening mobilization, we are talking about responsibility. And here it should not be taken into account whether a person wants or does not want.
“When the state demands taxes from businessmen or an enterprise, it does not ask whether they want to pay or not – this is an obligation. And these people must also go to serve… If we look only for motivated people, we will not get even 20% of what what the Ministry of Defense or the General Staff wants now. But I think that if the already mobilized people are treated correctly, then a certain percentage of them will find this motivation already there (at the front – ed.),” the commander of the reconnaissance platoon summed up.
Let us remind you that the head of the National Security Committee spoke about scandalous incidents with representatives of military registration and enlistment offices.
