Ukraine has a manpower problem. They’re fighting a war of attrition against a country with roughly five times the population and the effects of their mobilization policies are starting to show at the front. Ukrainian commanders talk about being down to 50% or more of their authorized strength and those on the front are going weeks or months without rotating off. This creates situations where the Russian forces can eventually exhaust the Ukrainian military and make modest, but successive gains across the front.
We look at how bad this issue is right now, how we got here and some ways that Ukraine has worked to remedy their personnel problem.

Slava Russia!!!!!
NAFO and the Reddit brigade should volunteer and stop shitting up the internet.
Americas foreign policy is insane. Weve started 7 wars in 20 years. 8 if you include Ukraine, which i do. Go read the memo "nyet means nyet" Julian Assange risked his life for this information. Read about the maidon revolution and CIA back coup of the democratically elected yanakovich government.
How many dead Ukrainians are worth the pride of our Bureaucrats? 500k? 1 million? Its disgusting
18 year olds are children and should not be drafted it’s plain and simple
Nobody is going to defend yourself when you’re country is in the wrong –
The world feels the shame you are feeling as a fool and puppet for US/UK originally – and then sleep walked NATO’s into by no choice – Ukraine citizens protest like US did in Vietnam 🇻🇳 when the people know their WASP weird government was in the wrong’ just like you today – Hell no we won’t go!
Ukraine is going to lose the war. They need to sue for peace at all costs.

At 0:26 I'm gonna stop you right there. The US is pushing its allies, and itself, to impose several restrictions on the weapons provided as to not "provoke" russia. Sure, the manpower issue is real, and the Ukrainians are trying to address it. Still, the restrictions are leading to them having to sacrifice more troops and civilians since they can't hit targets well within range of provided systems. So, when you go on about the "Ukrainian manpower issues", keep in mind that the restrictions on provided weapons are making those issues worse. America is actively limiting its own and its ally's support of Ukraine, and the ones paying the price are Ukrainian servicemen and civilians. In blood. It's appalling.
Ukraines losses are 4 to 5 times higher than they claim it is. Probably 400 to 500 thousand dead or permanently wounded Ukrainians in total. That’s the true numbers.
after more of 2 years of war if someone is not in the army is because he don't want to fight, none draft and train will fix that
Those Russian shovels must be lethal! I thought they had only lost 30000 troops… 😂😅
don't worry Ukraine has LGBT mechanized infantry division standing by😂😂
Send back all the men who fled and if Ukraine does win don’t let them back in
Spoiler alert, Ukraine is going to lose.
Could someone explain the reasoning, of not conscripting everyone at least 18+ to fight the war? Your country is BEING INVADED! Why tf would you not want to fight for your home. What right do you have to run away then expect to come back if it all gets sorted lol? If you aren't contributing in any way to your country being invaded, you don't deserve to be called a citizen.
Nobody is stopping you from going over there, asshole.
Ukraine claims :-
In two years of war :- 31,000 KIA
facts:- 2022 total personnels of Armed forces of Ukraine:- 700,000+
Ukraine have done 11 rounds of mass mobilisation till now .
Still needs atleast 400,000-500,000 of manpower.
Is Ukraine lying about casualties or men are suddenly disappearing all of the sudden in Ukraine??
I thought Ukraine was winning and had little casualties? That the strategic retreats were killing Russians?
I ain't gonna lie, if I had a budget to balance, evil character, and the will while being Ukraine, it looks like they are purging the population by budget, expected long term expense and ability to critically think, at 25 brain is formed, I have no idea what is going on cuz this vid is my reintro to Ukraine. It looks like anyone willing to question the government is gone, drafted and ☠️
What dont you fight for ukraine instead of making ukraine loving russia hating youtube videos. Do something meaningful for your country ukraine
