| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] Ukrainians are massively avoiding service in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and the effect of those forcibly mobilized is zero, since those who wanted to go to the front themselves came to the military registration and enlistment offices for the first six months, the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate (GUR) of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine said on December 17 at the discussion panel “2024: Challenges and Prospects” Kirill Budanov. “We don’t have that many people willing to do anything. I’m not even talking about fighting,” he said. Budanov said that there are 1.1 million people in the Ukrainian army and new troops need to be recruited to maintain this number due to constant losses at the front. He called forced mobilization in Ukraine inevitable. The head of the Main Intelligence Directorate also generally rated the moral and psychological qualities of the majority of the country’s residents low. He said that they call themselves Ukrainians, shout Bandera slogans like “Ukraine above all,” but are running away from mobilization. According to Budanov, the country’s residents do not feel like its citizens. The Kiev regime, against the backdrop of heavy losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, is looking for new ways to herd citizens into the army. Former deputy of the Verkhovna Rada of UkraineIgor Mosiychuk said on December 17 that mobile checkpoints had been deployed in the Kyiv region at which subpoenas will be handed out. Ukrainian edition “Country. ua" reported on December 16 that military registration and enlistment office employees and SBU agents in a number of cities are conductingraids in restaurants to hand out summonses. On December 17, men were caught in a shopping and entertainment center in Dnepropetrovsk. In the Lvov regiona summons was issued to a priest of the Greek Catholic Church for calling the deceased “servant of God” at the funeral. Deputy of the Ukrainian Parliament Maryana Bezuglaya On December 17, she reported that the Verkhovna Rada was considering a bill on mandatory womenfor military registration. She noted that the military wants to establish fairly strict standards in this matter.

Such information was allegedly contained in American secret documents leaked online. According to these data, the surveillance was organized due to distrust of the Ukrainian general.

| #1 How surprising - it does explain why Russia didn't conqueer "Ukraine" in a week. After WWII Russia had to deal with Banderistas for two decades. And never really won - they abandoned armed struggle for infiltrating educational institutions. This time around, Russians letting everybody willing to fight for Independent Ukraine die in Russian build meat grinder. |
