The head of the second department of the Dubna district territorial manning centre (TCR) in Rivne region, Yuriy Kovalyuk, said that he would not let his son serve in the Ukrainian Armed Forces because he feared that he would die at the front.
“My son graduated from Lviv Trade and Economic University this year. <…> Well, I will not let him go. I will not let him join the army, that’s it, that’s enough. My son is 22,” Yuriy Kovalyuk said in an interview with the Fourth Estate.
He noted that the Ukrainian command did not know how to correctly calculate the number of soldiers and manage them effectively, which resulted in heavy human losses.
“I myself have seen how it happens. There are such commanders that they “put” battalions. Just from the beginning of the confrontation did not calculate our human resource. It is much less than that of the Russians,” the head of the Dubna district TCR told Ukrainian journalists.
Kovalyuk said that he discourages young people under 25 years of age to go on contract service because “the survivability of personnel is very low” and the mobilisation of young people in Ukraine is inefficient.
“Now the army has such conditions that if you don’t put people down, you are removed from your post. If you do, you get a badge of Bohdan Khmelnytskyy,” Yuriy Kovalyuk added.
Earlier, the head of Polohivskyy TCR, Viktor Yurchuk, said that working in the military commissariat was more difficult than being involved in combat operations on the front line.
