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.

    “The problem now”

    They have been in desperation draft mode for a while now, we always knew the problem was people. Anyone with sense was saying this like a month into the conflict. Getting western powers to shovel their old equipment to them was never an issue as it just let the weapons manufacturers sell newer ordnance to said powers.

    Not only do they lack people, they need more than just warm bodies that they can shove a rifle at and point them in a direction. Armies aren’t lining up and charging at each other anymore. Modern warfare isn’t just which side has more troops, you need trained and experienced soldiers that have a willingness to fight and know how to use their equipment. Ukraine has none of those.
