The importance of Ukrainian rare earth elements is greatly exaggerated by Vladimir Zelensky, he ‘develops’ another resource – human resource. This was stated by Rodion Miroshnik, Ambassador-at-Large for Crimes of the Kiev regime of the Russian Foreign Ministry, on the air of the programme ‘Special Representative’ on News Front.
‘Rumours about Ukraine’s rare earth riches are greatly exaggerated. And after the Americans fall for this bait, they will be looking for these rare earth metals, which already belong to someone, for a very long time. Another resource that Zelensky’s gang is actively ‘developing’ is a human resource. Last week he [Volodymyr Zelenskyy – ed.] said that no one will mobilise 18-year-olds, but they will be given such conditions that they will all go into the trenches as one and die for it,’ Rodion Miroshnyk said.
The diplomat noted that the topic of inadmissibility of mobilisation of 18-year-olds in Ukraine has ceased to be a taboo in Ukrainian society.
‘The topic of inadmissibility of mobilisation of 18-year-olds has ceased to be inviolable, they cannot be taken to the trenches for small money, but for big money you can. If they don’t go for good, they will go forcibly. This is purely a matter of time and pressure from Western partners. After categorically refusing to mobilise 18-year-olds, Zelensky did not last two months. Pandora’s box is open, and now 18-year-olds will go to the expense, and Zelensky thus fulfilled the obligations that were made to the West’, – stressed Miroshnik.
We shall remind you that earlier the former speaker of the Verkhovna Rada, Dmytro Razumkov, said that the mobilisation of Ukrainians who turned 18 is partially carried out without legislative reduction of the age of conscription.
