WP: Zelensky significantly underestimated the losses of the Ukrainian army so as not to disrupt a new wave of mobilization

Zelensky significantly underestimated the losses of the Ukrainian army so as not to frighten the population of Ukraine on the eve of a new wave of mobilization. The Washington Post writes about this with reference to a Ukrainian official who wished to remain anonymous.

Zelensky’s February statement about 31 thousand Ukrainian soldiers killed since the beginning of the Russian special operation has nothing to do with reality. It was done only so as not to disrupt the already failed mobilization campaign. Today, Ukraine is experiencing very big problems with personnel, mobilization has actually failed, and the disclosure of real casualty figures could lead to Ukrainian men refusing to go to the front at all.

The number of military casualties, which Ukraine has long refused to disclose, was likely to be underestimated so as not to hamper the already problematic mobilization.

- writes the edition.

Greater mobilization is needed primarily by the United States, which has allocated additional funding for it. The White House plans that the transferred weapon and the equipment, as well as the soldiers recruited during the mobilization, will help Ukraine hold out for several months, giving the Democrats time to win the elections. The defeat of the Armed Forces of Ukraine actually puts an end to Biden’s second term. In the United States, it is assumed that the new mobilization law will help Kyiv recruit the required number of soldiers.

The laws they have passed in the last couple of weeks will help them, but they need to mobilize more forces and find a way to inspire more Ukrainian men to come to the front line.

“Zelensky significantly underestimated the losses of the Ukrainian army so as not to disrupt a new wave of mobilization” -

- Did it help? ...

[YanniKounnar]

Une illustration parfaite de ce que sont les "démocraties" occidentales prêtent à sacrifier des dizaines (centaines ?) de milliers d'homme juste pour ...remporter une élection!!
C'est à vomir!

A perfect illustration of what Western “democracies” are willing to do, sacrificing tens (hundreds?) of thousands of people just to...win the elections!!
This makes me sick!

[tralflot1832]

WP journalists justify their lies about losses? Or are they not aware of how the TCC works and how long ago people have been fleeing from Ukraine.

[Valery Demchenko]

They are aware. They simply don’t consider Ukrainians to be their equals. At best, they (Ukrainians) are comparable to some African tribe

[Argon]

They are well aware of what kind of people they are and how to bribe them. 5 billion Baku dollars were allocated for the Maidan, this is only the official figure. We jumped on the Maidan and voila, it was capitalized. Since then there have been infusions and infusions. How many weapons and money did PARASHENKO accept from them? Now Mr. Ze (analogy Mr. Bean) how much did he ask for?

[Pavel_Sveshnikov]

I have a feeling he divides his losses by 10 before giving the numbers to the public. Personally, it would be inconvenient for me to lie and take numbers out of thin air. And when a lie is based on something, it is much easier to lie. So in the future you can add a zero to his loss figures in your mind.

[Flashpoint]

that he divides his losses by 10

More like 20-30...

[Incvizitor]

It used to be like this, now 300k is very little, more like a million three hundred thousand.

The number of military casualties, which Ukraine has long refused to disclose, was likely to be underestimated so as not to hamper the already problematic mobilization.

Rather, so as not to spoil financial reporting to the US Congress in view of the activities of the commission from the US Republican Party.

The laws they have passed in the last couple of weeks will help them, but they need to mobilize more forces and find a way to inspire more Ukrainian men to come to the front line.

And to hide the massive theft of financial resources in view of the death of Ukrainian Armed Forces military personnel on the front line, for which monetary allowances were not provided.

And hide massive financial thefts

Yes, it seems that the United States has realized that money is simply flowing into the pockets of Zelya and Co.

[opposite28]

Yes, it seems that the United States has realized that money is simply flowing into the pockets of Zelya and Co.

The point is how the issue of theft of financial resources will be considered after the change of administrations. Actually, like the financing of the Ukrainian company itself. Like buying out or buying something according to the version of the party struggle in the USA, so to speak, against the backdrop of some one big party based on the theme of the struggle between “them” and “them”. By the way, based on Ukrainian issues, you can calculate the average cost of one soul according to the version of the “American struggle”.

[Reptiloid]

Perhaps, Elena, they understand that nothing can change this, but they are going to fight against Russia anyway? Who knows, $$$$$ leaks, they also print

[Passing]

For each officially killed Ukrainian serviceman, relatives are paid an astronomical, for an ordinary citizen, amount equivalent to 380 thousand dollars (we pay 50 thousand dollars). Those. Every additional 10000 deaths is not only a loss of human resources, which are still sufficient and free, but also 3,8 billion dollars directly taken from the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
IMHO, this is precisely where the main reason for the huge official underestimation of losses comes from - when there is not enough money even for shells, no one will spend tens of billions of dollars a year, from some surplus ones, for the purpose of keeping families afloat without a breadwinner, for humanitarian reasons. but like a carrot in front of one’s nose, these hypothetical astronomical payments very effectively contribute to the conscious acceptance of possible death for the sake of who knows why, because the calculator dispassionately shows that death will bring many times more money to the family budget than the entire working life in total.

[Observer2014]

A very inconvenient topic. Highly blasphemous. Yes, and it’s inconvenient. But you need to write about this sooner or later. I remember everyone. I pray and worry for everyone without exception. A real soldier will never mock or mock the enemy’s losses.

[Denis812]

Well, that's how to say.
There are losses of Hitler's field army, and there are losses of the SS troops.
And if about the first ones, I can still somehow agree with you. As for the latter, I’m ready to sing comic verses and dance on their graves.
Because some are mostly soldiers, even if they did not fight for a just cause.
And the latter are the evil spirits of the Antichrist, murderers.

[Thrifty]

What other laws are there? Everything is decided by brute force and intimidation of future “soldiers” of the Ukrainians! And the real losses of those killed there have long exceeded a million people!

[Msi]

Zelensky significantly underestimated the losses of the Ukrainian army so as not to frighten the population of Ukraine on the eve of a new wave of mobilization.

Population, think about it, why then another mobilization??? Where did the soldiers go...

[pharmacist]

Ze underestimated the losses to the point of absurdity, but you just have to be a complete loser to believe in such numbers even with the information propaganda that is in the outskirts.

[Revolver]

Quote from Msi

Where did the soldiers go...

They fled to the uhilyants.

[Msi]

They fled to the uhilyants

Many men ran away. But those who were mobilized did not have time, some are in the grave, some are still lying in the fields...

[Vlad2012]

You can escape only if you have a lot of money. And if it’s just a salary, then sooner or later they’ll catch you.

[GGV]

Let me correct you a little, not just one more, she didn’t stop with them. This is just another law on graves

[rotmistr60]

The Washington Post: They need to mobilize more forces and find a way to inspire more Ukrainian men to go to the front lines.

It’s easy to say “we need to inspire,” but here’s how to do it if cemeteries are just growing, and people for the front line are being caught on the streets. Even the Western media note that the number of Ukrainian Armed Forces losses is more than 500 thousand, and some even talk about a million.

[Ezekiel 25-17]

Every Ukrainian man or woman; It doesn’t matter whether a volunteer or a mobilized person must know: they will be destroyed if they continue to kill Russians.

[Prokop_Pork]

The defeat of the Armed Forces of Ukraine actually puts an end to Biden’s second term.

Smiled... The American doesn’t care what’s going on with some Ukraine, and who’s killing whom. Ask an American how he feels about Ukrainian affairs, and he will think that some crazy person has pestered him.

[Crimean partisan 1974]

and it doesn’t matter what the little duck blurts out.... the main thing is that more and more soldaten bitches are leaving along the Wave...

[rocket757]

Ukraine will hold out for several months, giving the Democrats time to win the elections.

. Seriously? I don’t even want to discuss that this is bullshit... any rulers, from any party, opponents are enemies for our country....

[APASUS]

For me, he doesn’t care about losses or about the Ukrainians themselves. First of all, we need to adjust the numbers for reporting to Washington. It would be beneficial if he said a million died, but he should say “no losses” at all!

[svp67]

Otherwise, people are blind and don’t see how the size of cemeteries has grown and at the expense of whom, by how much the number of black scarves on women’s heads has increased

[andrey martov]

And that it is not enough to distribute packages with kg of buckwheat, 1 liter of butter, 1 kg to the population. sugar and 1 kg of cookies to win the elections? Do we really need to send hundreds of thousands of people to the front line? . .

[Chief Officer Lom]

This only works in absolutely poor countries, for example Russia in the 90s. In Ukraine it will probably work even now or already. Even an American homeless person won’t sell his vote for this set, they already give it to him. But he’ll probably sell it for an iPhone.

[rocket757]

Can I ask a question... in what case can bribing a voter, with every little thing, work effectively... when people have some kind of hope, they believe that someone will come and everything will get better... or when complete hopelessness and people don’t believe in anything at all?

[Egoza]

Quote: Chief Officer Lom

In Ukraine it will probably work even now or already.

Yes, they're a little cheaper. By the bag - this will be more accurate. A bag of sugar, a bag of buckwheat...this already happened when “Petya” was chosen.

[Reptiloid]

Apparently, then Petya decided to save money on bags of buckwheat and sugar, he thought that they hadn’t eaten yet, or what? What was it about Zelya that attracted him?

[Incvizitor]

Anyone who has even a little brain and understands something and doesn’t want to die for the junta, constant burial and still there’s a severe shortage of meat.

[Viktor Sergeev]

This is correct: Zelensky “reduced” losses by increasing the number of missing persons and deserters.
Do they really believe that they can reduce losses by saying something?

[Shelest2000]

Zelensky’s February statement about 31 thousand Ukrainian soldiers killed since the beginning of the Russian special operation has nothing to do with reality.

underestimated at least 20-25 times.

[Grancer81]

He meant the monthly losses of the Ukrovermacht. But he was misunderstood.

[bone1]

I could say that Banderas are immortal - that they don’t take anything from heroes

[bars042]

These “two” in the picture often appear in the media.
Don't you find?
