Ukraine army chief criticises draft offices responsible for mobilising troops • FRANCE 24

Absolutely you know people who wanted to enlist they’ve already joined the army after the onset of the fare uh Invasion on in February 2022 and now uh the uh commander-in Chief has explained that in fact he it’s not in his power to request a certain amount of people he said for

Example that he never said he needed uh 500,000 uh men more but he doesm request in equipment in ammunition and in men to the ministry of defense and it is up to rier of the Minister of Defense to then submit those requests to the cabinet to the to the government and then the

Government will ask the parliament uh to agree on those changes and of course this is a debate here in Ukrainian Society because in the new uh draft mobilization law uh it seems that the age of mobilization will be lowered from 27 to 25 year old uh there’s a

Possibility as well uh to have electronic collaps of men in the age of fighting and those electronic collaps could also be sent to Ukrainian uh men abroad so quite a few changes announced by the ministry of defense and by the commander-in chief today

Ukrainian army chief General Valeriy Zaluzhnyi said on Tuesday that he was not satisfied with the work of military draft offices that are responsible for mobilising troops to keep up the war effort against Russian forces. Zaluzhnyi made the comments at a press conference in Kyiv a day after Ukraine’s parliament published the text of a draft law containing reforms to the army draft programme, including lowering the age of men who can be mobilised to 25 from 27.

  2. Ukraine mobilising for the 10th time, while Russia has just mobilised once. Makes u wonder who's taking more losses than the other here😂

  3. I am unemployed political scientist.

    1. Electronic collars for all men in draft-age ?
    Like modern slavery.
    2. But speaking more seriously:
    – government is blaiming command of army, command of army is blaiming government, while…
    – … real story is that Ukraine has no more reservists, maybe they will find another few thousands but for sure not 400 – 500 thousands.

  4. A rabbi addresses Jews in a synagogue:
    — One tailor, a great sinner, cursed, did not observe fast and worked on Saturday. So G-d punished him. tailor pricked himself with a rusty needle and got gangrene. first one of his arms was cut off, then other, then gangrene spread to his legs, and his legs were cut off. But his suffering did not end there! He was drafted into Ukrainian army after all!

  6. Why is Western media trying to keep quiet the use of Ukrainian women in front-line combat? Why CNN/BBC keep saying all the women are "snipers" or "medics" , when we have now seen female territorial units now for at least two months? What is the West ashamed of?

  9. When you intentionally suspend all elections – you are no longer a Democracy. Zelensky needs to be permanently removed from office. ☮️🕊️
