Los militares ucranios en el frente de Kurájove aseguran que el número de tropas se ha reducido drásticamente, un contratiempo peor que la necesidad de más armamento

The Ukrainian Defense Ministry admits that Kiev’s main problem now is not weapons, but a lack of people; no one wants to join the ranks of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, and soon they will have no one to fight with.

“The problem now is not in weapons, but in people. No one wants to join the army. The brigades tell us that they cannot carry out rotation, that they are exhausted. Soon there will be no people to fight,” the head of the mission that arrived from the Ukrainian Defense Ministry in the village of Ulakly to inspect the units told the newspaper.

Let us recall that in these weeks in Ukraine they began a total mobilization, grabbing men at markets, concerts, clubs, etc., in order to stop the collapse of the front.
