Rada deputy: Mobilization in Ukraine will continue for a long time
3 09417
Ukrainian parliament (Verkhovna Rada) member Anatoliy Ostapenko believes that mobilization in Ukraine will likely continue for a long time. According to the MP, Ukraine has sufficient resources to maintain the mobilization age for at least some time.
Instead of lowering the mobilization age, Ostapenko believes it would be more appropriate to send police officers, National Guard members, border guards, retired military personnel, and reservists to fight. The parliamentarian is perplexed why law enforcement officers and retirees aren't being recruited en masse to serve in the Ukrainian Armed Forces and participate in combat. Moreover, the Ukrainian MP apparently expects that even after the end of hostilities, martial law in Ukraine will remain in effect, the country's borders will remain closed, and the recruitment of Ukrainian Armed Forces units will continue.
Meanwhile, according to Ukrainian sources, Kyiv currently lacks the resources to catch all deserters. Therefore, only a relatively small portion of those mobilized actually make it to the front. According to some sources, no more than 15 out of 100 mobilized men actually make it to the front. Immediately after mobilization, those who can pay for their freedom are weeded out at the TCC. Then, a certain number manage to escape from training, en route to the military unit, and from the unit itself. Ultimately, about 30 men reach the recruiter, half of whom are completely unfit for military service due to missing limbs and other serious health issues. Thus, out of 100 men caught by the "man-catchers," no more than 15 make it to the front.
