How Ukraine is trying to increase mobilization for military service | DW News

It's been more than two years now since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Since then, hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian men have been called up to serve in the military. Many have not returned. We spoke to one mother who is coming to terms with her own loss. Ukraine is trying to mobilize more of its population for military service, including those living abroad. How is the country's recruitment drive going so far?

A Ukrainian soldier said that some KIAs are reported as "Missing" so their unit commander keeps receiving their salary. The soldiers family waits for their "missing" son to be found but in reality he's long gone and his wife and children don't receive any benefits because of corrupt unit commanders.

I believe that she is confused on the numbers as currently Russia has an artillery advantage of 7-1 down from 10-1 early war estimates. She stated that Russian troops outnumber Ukrainian troops 10-1. Russia does not have a 10-1 advantage in numbers deployed in Ukraine. Ukraine has roughly between 800K to 1 Million troops depending on who you ask. Russia very certainly does not have 9 - 10 Million troops in Ukraine. If anything Ukraine outnumbers Russia as most sources estimate the total Russian forces at 1.1 to 1.4 million even on Ukrainian estimates. It is highly unlikely that all of these troops are deployed in Ukraine as Russia has vast border and coastal regions that Russia has to deploy it’s troops on. (Not just in Ukraine.) Not choosing any sides, just pointing out that even according to Ukraines numbers they are not outnumbered 10-1 and it is very misleading to say so.

Think , it doesn’t hurts! Even if Ukranians are a million, they have to be all over the front line and the border with Belarus and in reserves. So the Russian can concentrate at their will where to attack and with how many soldiers and if you have more than a functional neuron you will come to the conclusion that 10-1 ratio makes perfect sense on the point of contact.

Zelensky didn't try to prevent the conflict through diplomacy because he lacks honor and integrity. In 2014 there was a coup. Soon after, there was a massacre in Odessa (dozens of people were burned alive). Ethnic Russians living in Ukraine were treated as subhuman. Their language and culture was being oppressed. A civil war broke out due to the rise in ethnic tensions. For 8 years the Ukrainian military was indiscriminately shelling civilians living in Donbas. If Zelensky honored the Minsk agreement and pledged neutrality, none of this would have happened. The 8 year civil war would have ended and Donbas would have remained part of Ukraine. War is the ultimate failure of diplomacy. Zelensky admitted that Ukraine had no intention to honor the Minsk agreements. Who didn't want peace? Who advised against the 2022 peace talks in April? Hint: someone visited Zelensky in Kiev at that time. Russia's national security was compromised once nato began to expand eastwards. Russia clearly stated that Ukraine joining nato was a red line (November 2021) and unfortunately this concern was never taken seriously. The Russians openly stated: if nothing changes, we will be forced to act in order to defend our national security. Enhancing the national security of one country at the expense of another is unacceptable. The Russians have legitimate security concerns. 20th September, 2021. Ukraine launched military drills with US and NATO. NATO is not a defensive alliance. Nato illegally bombed Yugoslavia (a direct violation of the U.N. Charter). We should never forget what they did to Libya, Afghanistan, Iraq etc. Who blew up the pipeline causing an environmental disaster? Zelensky banned all opposition and arrested a leading priest. Zelensky tried to invoke article 5 under false pretenses. Remember the incident in Poland. Ethnic Russians living in Ukraine were treated as subhuman. Their language and culture was being oppressed. Poroshenko said, “Our children will go to schools and kindergartens-theirs will hide in the basements”. Russians will never forget the 2014 Odessa massacre. The whole world needs to know about it. Why was Denis Kireev eliminated? He was a member of Ukraine's negotiating team during the peace negotiations. He wanted to help his country. Ukraine has a hit list. They target artists, journalists and ordinary citizens. Hundreds of children are on this list. 13 year old Faina Savenkova was placed on this list. Pink Floyd's Roger Waters is on this list. Jimmy Dore (American stand-up comedian, podcaster) and Aaron Maté (Canadian writer and journalist) are on this list. There is evidence that Ukrainian troops have been indiscriminately shelling civilians in Donbas (they used petal mines and targeted areas where there was no military presence). The azov troops trapped in the azovstal steelworks in Mariupol used human shields. They refused to allow civilians to leave despite of humanitarian corridors being present. Russia held a proposed cease fire in order for the civilians to leave, but azov would not allow the civilians to leave. Ukraine has committed many acts of terrorism (car bombs and other forms of assassination). Darya Dugina (journalist) RIP. The first terrorist attack on the Kerch bridge killed the truck driver and the individuals in the adjacent car (innocent civilian victims). The second terrorist attack on the Kerch bridge killed two parents and severely injured their young daughter. I have done a lot of research and it took me a long time to write this comment. I have stated a lot of facts and I have given my honest opinion. I have provided a brief summary of events that took place.

russia has had the best possible conditions for the last 6 months: Ukraine was running low on ammo and soldiers, US aid was stuck in congress. Russia had already maxed out military production, while the EU is struggling to catch up. So what has russia accomplished in those 6 months? They captured Avdiivka, and moved the frontline a few km in other areas. That's all... But now Ukraine is mobilizing more soldiers and they are digging in. US aid is unstuck. The first shells from the Czeck initiative should arrive soon. EU shell production is slowly ramping up, expected to reach a capacity of 1,4M by the end of the year and 2M in 2025. Russia's frozen money will most likely soon be confiscated, and used to fund Ukraine. Things are really not looking good for russia in the long term. The reserves of old soviet weapons will not last forever, and putin's war chest will run dry eventually. It's only a matter of time...

How sad. Such a waste of life. I noticed no one seems to be talking about the fact that not only has Russia been able to RECRUIT at a higher rate than Ukraine can CONSCRIPT. Even if Ukraine mobilized every man woman and child its still under 40 million humans. Whereas Russia is sitting over 144 million humans. What does this resolve? If Ukraine can conscript Russia can do exact same thing at a much larger capacity. The military math isnt there. If Ukraine fights to the last human russia will still be standing. If youre willing to make this trade just to hurt Putin then i dont believe you are motivated by love of Ukrainians but hate for Russians.
