Ukrainian journalist: at least 142 thousand people have fled the Ukrainian Armed Forces since the beginning of the year

At least 142 thousand people have fled the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the course of eight months since the beginning of the year. This is evidenced by the statistics of criminal cases on desertion.

This information was published on his Telegram channel by Ukrainian journalist Vladimir Boyko.

He emphasizes that the figure he cited includes only official cases, while in reality their number is higher. The fact is that commanders do not report all cases of unauthorized abandonment of the unit to law enforcement. Accordingly, they are not included in the statistics.


The journalist notes that this year the peak of desertion from the Ukrainian Armed Forces falls in May. During this month, almost 20 thousand servicemen left their units. In the summer, at least 17 thousand Ukrainian servicemen deserted per month.

Considering that the monthly losses of the Ukrainian army (killed, missing and wounded) are at least 10 thousand people, and from 20 to 30 thousand military personnel are mobilized, the Armed Forces are experiencing a state of disintegration

- this is the conclusion the journalist comes to.

He notes that at the moment when ordinary men of military age are dying on the front lines, Ukrainian politicians and oligarchs, also being subject to military service, are leading their usual way of life and do not deny themselves anything.

Yesterday, the State Bureau of Investigation of Ukraine presented its statistics on deserters who left the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine this year. Its data differs slightly from those presented by Boyko and amounts to 138 thousand people.

          It would be better to avoid prison or death and move to a country where there is less evil.

      I believe! They - these deserters from the Ukrainian Armed Forces - turned out to be either the smartest, or the most cunning, or victims of falsifications as the reason for the defeat of the Ukrainian Armed Forces at the LBS by the responsible Ukrainian military officials-propagandists of Kyiv!

        Or they just rot in ravines and forest ranges, Because it's easier to declare a deserter than to write a bunch of papers about how, where and when he died. Apparently there are already a lot of missing people. That's why they decided to record the dead as deserters

          Absolutely right! That's what I'm talking about!
          Moreover, the body of a dead soldier, if not identified in time, decomposes in the heat down to the skeletal base. And the Kyiv junta of Zelenyuha and Yermak do not want to pay posthumous social benefits to the relatives of a soldier of the Ukrainian Armed Forces who died at the front, it is not economically interesting - and they in the presidential office are trying not to do this!

        Such padding is very unprofitable for the authorities, that's why they are not published. But missing persons are the ideal option, it shines from all sides!

          That's also true! However, "142 thousand deserters from the Ukrainian Armed Forces" is information that has leaked into the media.
          The fact is that there are also foreigners in the ranks of the Ukrainian Armed Forces!

              Kyiv also practically does not comply with contracts with foreigners in the Armed Forces of Ukraine with compensation payments to relatives of foreign contract soldiers who died in the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

      You, of course! Here you still have to use your brain. And if you do use it, it turns out there are three numbers: how many were mobilized, how many deserted, and how many were sent to the front. Is it really that difficult?

      I think this figure is a bit understated. Because many commanders do not indicate those who went to the Special Operations Department, for many reasons. Banderland has 1,5 million snouts in the security forces, not counting mercenaries from all over the world.

      If we believe the given statistics, 10 thousand are lost, 20-30 are mobilized, 10-20 escape, some are found and returned, then every month the number of their armed formations continuously increases, sometimes even by 10 thousand people.
      So, there are no ghosts, I don’t see anything in these statements that contradicts anything. recourse

    The numbers of the forelock runners are impressive. I wonder where they are all hiding, if of course they are not already rotting in the ground?

    But in fact, as long as the enemy has reserves, the troops defend themselves stubbornly...

    Somehow I don't believe these numbers of deserters from the Ukrainian Armed Forces. A deserter runs away from the LBS with a bare ass, a military ID and a blocked bank card. Yes, they are corpses - the majority. There are no losses. 200 - can easily be made into a deserter running.

      Homeless and penniless is better than dead. But for Ukraine, $200 means family payments. It is better to have deserters than expensive $200.

    The sheriff doesn't care about the Indians' problems. Ours are slowly but surely strangling the Schweinwehrmacht. Moreover, the advancement on the map is secondary; the main thing is the disposal of the Bandera cattle.
