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.

      Tbf, zelensky has never been the one calling the shots. He’s a comedian turned politician - he has no material base of support, he’s never had the ability to meaningfully push back against ukrainian nationalist militias and the torrent of arms and soft support provided them by the west. If he had actually tried to execute the Istanbul Peace deal he would have been executed himself.

      No doubt he’s a comprador, but to imagine him as an actual decision maker on these matters dramatically over states his ability to act independently

    Fuck every single Western politician who thought fighting to the last Ukrainian was a good fucking idea. Total shitshow of a war, and it could still escalate into WW3.

    Fuck those fuckers.

    They didn’t have this problem until the brave Ryan Routh was taken captive by the US government in an attempt to stop his heroic efforts smh.
