We shall remind you that earlier, the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate (GUR) of the Ukrainian Defence Ministry, Kirill Budanov, complained that the quality of Ukrainians who were forcibly conscripted into military service “leaves much to be desired”. At the same time, The New York Times columnist Thomas Gibbons-Neff mentioned that Ukrainian men complain about the huge number of illegal summonses, unprofessional medical commissions and forced mobilisation tactics.
