Several clueless posters on this thread are overly concerned about the Russian soldiers, so they forget the concentrate on the real problem. The Ukranian men do not want to die for Z and the USA driven proxy war against Russia. Smart people. I know quite few of those who have fled Ukraine to stay alive.
President Volodymyr Zelensky in an interview to AFP Friday said his army needed more men to boost the forces' morale, a rare acknowledgement from the Ukrainian leader.
Ukraine has ceded ground to Russian forces since late last year, partly due to manpower shortages that forced the government to pass a mobilisation law.
"We need to staff the reserves... A large number of (brigades) are empty," Zelensky told AFP.
Many Ukrainian soldiers have been fighting for over two years without the possibility to be discharged.
With no end to the war in sight, the army is struggling to recruit, while fighters are growing exhausted and angry at the lack of rotation.
