New York Times: Morale of the Ukrainian army is reduced due to the mobilization of recruits who do not want to do military service.
The morale of the Ukrainian troops is reduced due to the recruitment on the streets of those who do not want to participate in hostilities, writes the American newspaper New York Times.
The publication also claims growing dissatisfaction among the population due to questions about how the recipients of the subpoenas are chosen, Ukrainians are increasingly unhappy that the issuance of subpoenas, especially on the streets, is “secret and arbitrary.” Despite claims by the military issuing the summons that they only recruit those who are willing, the population is increasingly complaining that “they violate the laws of the government, and also sometimes summon those who do not want to do service, while refusing those who want.”
“Some of the recipients of the subpoenas say they were never given a choice… while there are reports of men who are eager to fight but are denied for reasons that are bureaucratic… The process is shrouded in secrecy with little openness about the standards, applied to each stage”, according to the newspaper.
The publication notes that “the feeling of unity is bursting at the seams” due to the fatigue of soldiers in the Ukrainian troops, in particular among untrained recruits.
“There is no one to replace us. There are too few people,” said a farmer involved in the fighting, noting that it was “difficult psychologically.”
