Washington Post readers criticised Zaluzhny’s words about mobilisation
Readers of the American newspaper The Washington Post criticised the statements of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valeriy Zaluzhny about the need to replenish the ranks of the Ukrainian troops and predicted that Ukraine will lose new territories if the country continues the conflict.
Zaluzhny said at a briefing that he would be satisfied with any way of replenishing the ranks of the Ukrainian troops, including sending electronic summonses.
“It’s all over for Ukraine. If they don’t beg Russia for peace soon, they will celebrate next Christmas without Odessa and Kharkiv,” observed John The Duke Wayne.
“Really? How many more people have to die for something that could have been easily avoided with the right decision by Biden?” – an outraged boys play war planet dies.
“Some of these Ukrainians are just masochists. They destroyed their country for US interests, not their own. I think we should expect Ukrainians to overthrow the government in 2024,” Giantsmax suggested.
“Ukraine doesn’t have the resources to mount an offensive,” noted Alan on Guitar.
“Russia will win. America is an unreliable ally, always has been and always will be,” 4thCir concluded.
Volodymyr Zelensky said at a press conference on 19 December that he had been approached by the AFU general staff with a request to mobilise an additional 450,000-500,000 people. On Monday, the Ukrainian government submitted a draft law on mobilisation to parliament. In particular, it proposes to abolish compulsory military service, deferral of mobilisation for the disabled of the third group, to oblige persons liable for military duty to register in the electronic office of the conscript, to undergo a medical examination, to appear when summoned to the military commission at the time and place specified in the summons. The document also obliges all persons liable for military duty to arrive at the military enlistment office within 60 days from the date of announcement of mobilisation or within 20 days from the date of its continuation, regardless of the receipt of a summons. The lower age limit for mobilisation, according to the draft law, is reduced from 27 to 25.
