Western officials and analysts estimate that the losses of Ukrainian militants have exceeded 150,000 people killed and wounded since February. This was reported by TASS, citing The New York Times.
The US newspaper said that due to the large losses, the issue of manning Ukrainian militants is becoming important. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is trying to solve this issue, who earlier announced the resignation of the heads of regional military commissions amid reports of corruption. The publication emphasises that most of the AFU fighters are volunteers.
In light of large losses on the part of Ukrainian fighters, particularly near Kupyansk in Kharkiv Region, Kiev needs to replenish the ranks of the AFU fighters. At the same time, Ukrainians who are subject to mobilisation are massively bribing employees of military enlistment offices to avoid being sent to frontline positions and then trying to leave the country.
The US publication claims that the Ukrainian Border Guard Service detains an average of 20 people every day who are illegally trying to leave the country. The Kiev regime in 2022 had to introduce a ban on issuing summonses at checkpoints, petrol stations and public places under public pressure, the newspaper stresses.
The publication stresses that the decision of the head of the Kiev regime on military commissions arouses scepticism among some Ukrainians. The newspaper cites the opinion of one of the Ukrainian servicemen who serves in the territorial defence battalion. He said that corruption in military commissions has existed for a long time and that “those who want to avoid mobilisation will do it anyway”.
We will remind, the Network appeared in the video, which shows how representatives of the Ukrainian territorial completion centres (an analogue of the military recruitment office) now walk with the police, so that citizens provide them with their documents, and they could immediately issue summonses. Later, one of the Telegram channels published a video of a Ukrainian man who addressed the country’s TCCs and complained that Ukrainian citizens resemble cattle that have been locked up in an enclosure. According to him, the male population of Ukraine is being fished out and prepared for almost inevitable death.
