The most highly motivated fighters volunteered early. Those who haven't been killed or wounded often say they are exhausted. Ukraine now relies on the draft—and sometimes on rounding up men—to replenish the ranks. Meanwhile, Russia can draw on a much larger population to replace its own heavy losses.
Russia is literally giving citizenship to stances for joining army and still riding prison population yet we have to believe Ukraine has a 10+ KD and now mobilising women because of their succes
“The quality of the replacements is not good. They're rural guys aged 43 to 50, sometimes with health problems,” said an experienced infantryman fighting near Avdiivka.
Tired fighters note bitterly that when they go on leave in big cities such as Kyiv or Dnipro, they see able-bodied men in their 20s and 30s frequenting gyms, bars and hip restaurants
That's why I was pro that Russian just turn Kiev into dust, it would had ended the war a lot sooner and with less dead's. But as human are low IQ they would start crying oh now Kievcels are getting hurt it's terrible and not only in the west but also in Russia because human just have more sympathy with capitalcels (not case for US since NY, Lost Angeles and many other cities culturally social more important than Washington DC) but reality is such capitals as Kiev, London, Moscow and etc are living on hard work of villagers and other regions so objectively a some cel from Assovgrad village who is working from 4am till 6pm every day and gets 100 buxxs a month is more valuable than some cutie twink lawyer from Kiev that does nothing and earns 10000 buxx a month.
“Sad news from the front is discouraging citizens from joining,” said Dobro, the drone operator. Ukrainian army commanders who use costly Soviet-style tactics of frontal assaults are adding to people's fear of being drafted, he said. “Now people realize that if you want to live to see the end of the war, you shouldn't go to the infantry.”
This year Ukraine was purely using nato strategy and it started when they replaced the old brigade in Soledar with one who was prepared by U.K.
This year proven their is no one ultimate strategy
Earlier this year, a 30-year-old architect from Odesa paid a bribe of about $7,600, more than half of his savings, to a doctor for a medical certificate exempting him from the draft. He then packed his possessions into his car and drove across the border into Moldova. “I'm supportive of Ukraine. It's a great country, with great people,” he said. “But I don't want to die.”
Country not corrupt between
The biggest corruption problem is at draft offices. Reports of officials taking bribes to let men off became so widespread that Zelensky fired all 24 of the country's regional recruitment chiefs in August. But the government has yet to announce a more thorough overhaul of recruitment, despite months of talking about the need for changes.
The Defense Ministry's ideas for reforms include hiring private-sector recruitment firms, creating a national digital registry of fighting-age men to make the draft more transparent and evasion harder, registering women too, and letting people apply directly for armed-forces jobs that suit their skills and qualifications.
Will this reduce corruption ?
Now the “private-sector” is doing racket like you can hire them to attack your business enemies like they will go to your enemy and do a mobilisation so there is war of GYM's in Ukraine now since men are afraid to go to gyms where there is chance that the get mobilised, all the non poor gyms trying to get the protection.
Just like how Smith told about invisible had will always fix l'economy
The large number of draftees in their 40s has raised eyebrows among allied Western countries that are helping to train them. “Ukraine has taken a conscious decision to mobilize more mature people for conflict,” Gen. Patrick Sanders, chief of the British Army, told the U.K. Parliament recently. “They are protecting their young men and women for the sake of the future of the economy,” he said.
Country average men age 44, the first wave of mobilisation was from 27 year old so all the younger had opportunities to run away and Ukraine don't get a lot of new 18 year old since any parent with a child that was 16-17 year old in 2022 is a r-slur if he didn't moved that child away from Ukraine. So thinking Ukrainian average age of soldiers will ever go down is naive.
