A Ukrainian female soldier, in an interview with the Ukrainian television station, when asked whether the frontline is now more lacking people, or more lacking drones, she said that the frontline is most lacking people, the biggest problem facing now is not the lack of people, but people are quick to light up.
The Russian side has obtained data from the Database of the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, and the figures released are frightening.In more than three years since the start of the war, the number of Ukrainian troops killed and disappeared alone has reached 1721,000.
The United States has a specialized agency for strategic research, not including Russia, the total number of active troops in Europe combined is 197,000, and the number of people killed in Ukraine in the three years, almost 87 percent of the total number of troops of other European countries, is equivalent to the majority of the troops of Europe.
More shockingly, the casualties are still accelerating, in 2022, when the battle was just opened, more than 118 thousand people were killed a year, and by 2025 only more than eight months, it has lost 621 thousand people, almost doubled in three years.
Moreover, these are only those killed and missing. If we include those who were injured and could no longer fight, those who escaped secretly, and those who were captured, the total loss will be 8 million to 8.5 million people. This is for Ukraine, which has a small population. It is simply hollowing out the foundation.
To know that the total of the Ukrainian army before the start of the war was 250,000, and now despite the constant recruitment of a million active troops, there are few old soldiers who can carry the job.
In the forces of the front, soldiers serving for more than a year became rare, most new soldiers just trained a month or two were pulled into the battlefield, and many did not survive until half a year without communication.
Just like there is an army in the direction of Kharkiv, which was originally full of 3,000 people. After four months of offensive and defensive warfare, only more than 400 people were able to stand up in the end. After adding two batches of new recruits, they still couldn't make up the establishment. In the end, they could only send logistics cooks and repairmen to defend their positions.
It is because people die too quickly that the Ukrainian recruitment policy has been re-launched, and it has long been without the original rules. At first, only men from 24 to 40 years old were recruited to reserve, and then slowly relaxed to 25 to 60 years old men must be forced to serve as soldiers, if they dare to refuse, the recruiter directly pulled people to the training center.
By 2025 more exaggerated, the parliament simply passed a bill that allowed the elderly over 60 years of age to voluntarily join the army, no matter men and women, as long as physical examination can sign contracts as soldiers, contracts for a year in a row, no age limit at all.
In a small town in the outskirts of Kiev, the 62-year-old retired mercenary Petrov was notified of his entry into the army, he was a young soldier, had thought he could go to logistics and equipment, and as a result of the trial period was sent to the Zaporozhye front, because the front was lacking people, even experienced seniors had to go up, and the front was treated high, and there was no way.
Not only the elderly, women also became the focus of recruitment, originally only women engaged in medical, communication and logistics work, now many women have to go to the battlefield after a short training, the front front has a few 20 women soldiers, pick up guns and men soldiers together to guard the battlefield.
Even with such conscription, it still can't fill the hole in the front line. The front line needs to replenish at least 25,000 to 30,000 people every month to maintain the basic defense line, but young people of the right age have already been squeezed out.
The 18- to 25-year-olds were either already on the battlefield, or they were trying to escape, some spent money on border officials to flee to Poland, some hiding in relatives' family names, and others simply changed their identity information.
On the streets can often see the scene of recruiting personnel catching the dwarfs, sometimes in the food market buying middle-aged men, young people waiting at the station, as long as they do not take exemption from military service, can be directly pulled away, these videos spread to the Internet, many people watched.
What's even more helpless is that even if some people are forced to pull in, many people have no intention of fighting. They either respond passively or run away when they find an opportunity. Last year, a recruit company just opened to the front line, and more than a dozen of them ran away overnight.
Someone may say that there are no drones, but more advanced drones also have to be operated andined by someone, and the soldiers who control the drone on the front line are not aligned.
Previously, there were foreign media reports that Ukraine received a group of drones aided by Western countries, which could be equipped with ten units, as a result of not finding enough operators, only three units were assembled, the remaining drones could only be stacked in the warehouse.
And after the drone flew out, the ground forces need to cooperate with the reconnaissance and guidance of the strike, if there is no one on the ground, the drone will also become blind, and will not play a role at all.
Now Ukraine is like a bag that is about to be empty, the age of the man is fast, can only rely on the elderly, women to fill, even so still can not keep up with the rate of death.
Russian media, insufficient military resources have turned the Ukrainian army to comprehensive defense
