Ukrainian military faces manpower shortage amid increasing desertions • FRANCE 24 English
Desertion is starving the Ukrainian army of desperately needed manpower and crippling its battle plans at a crucial time in its war with Russia, which could put Kyiv at a clear disadvantage in future ceasefire talks. Tens of thousands of Ukrainian troops, tired and bereft, have walked away from combat and front-line positions to slide into anonymity, according to soldiers, lawyers and Ukrainian officials.

CNN is saying the opposite of what you claim
That’s why they are recruiting international fighters.
Isn't russia having same problem?? manpower shortage? lol no one wants to fight this war anymore they're tired let them go home! hahaaha don't obey
The truth starting to trickle into the msm
Editor and reporter fired after this :p
Russia will prevail
The Suresh effect
even a 10 year old knows you dont win a war of attrition with a country 5 times bigger
Are the old ones dead?
Can't be desertion if you were kidnapped off the street & thrown into the front lines 72 hours later.
sent zelensky on frontlines
No one saw this coming? Ive been traveling since shortly after war began and military aged Ukrainians are all over Europe, not fighting. Yet America still supports a country that its own wont fight for…?
Macron wanted to send french soldiers there. Do it!
Don't mess with Russia!
Important thing is zelensky grows rich
They would be better off moving to Russia
SMART MAN!!! I SUPPORT ALL OF YOU!
But the media said they are winning!
Russia was running out of men, tanks & bullets!
Were they lying? 🫠
Biden and Harris are gone soon and their warmongering will end
But CNN and joe biden said the Ukrainians have the Russians running away
Gee surprise surprise we’ve been lied to by the biased media.
These "Lawmakers" looking so comfy in there, let them have a taste of their own war
I feel for these Soldiers. We pray for the end of this war soonest
Russia has lost nearly 750,000 young men, nothing comes that close since ww2, that should tell you all you need to know about their disregard for life, all they had to do was stop the war and go home?
i thought the medias mentioned Ukraine is winning the war and Russia is on the losing side…. thats weird…
So Ukraine has been losing for some time now? You don’t say. Never would’ve guessed based on just watching American media
But the western media said ukraine is winning 😢
1 year later the media start to tell the truth, what a disgrace.
😂😂😂
2022 : Russia runout of ammo
2023 : Russia runout of manpower
2024 : Russia runout of Flag after capturing Ukrainian village & City
2025 : Ukraine runout of territory
Until for the ukrainian soldiers being on the front without swap over til they die……they will desert. They are sent to front to die not to win. No rest,no vacations and no hope things going for the better.
I'm a Filipino and a want to apply 😅
Arent they winning 😂
Wait a minute. But Ukraine is victoriously winning for the last 3 years, Russia is running out of missiles since April 2024 and its economy already collapsed 57 times. This video is Putin’s propaganda, lol
