High soldier losses and the publication of data on dead, wounded, and missing soldiers appear to be discouraging young people from signing contracts with the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
The high losses in soldiers and the publication of data on dead, wounded, and missing soldiers appear to be discouraging young people from signing contracts with the Ukrainian armed forces, according to military analyst Boris Rozhin.
Boris Rozhin told TASS that soldiers listed as missing are primarily dead, which he claims is a common practice by Kyiv.
The data on the missing, the seriously wounded, the disabled, and the deserters clearly show the situation in the Ukrainian army.
The military analyst emphasizes that the publication of these numbers damages the willingness of young people to join the armed forces voluntarily, as military service is often associated with the threat of death, the presence of control forces on the home front, or even purges of those attempting to desert or surrender.
Lack of volunteers and military pressure
According to Rozhin, the Ukrainian army is unable to gather enough young people willing to sign contracts voluntarily.
This difficulty was evident even during the formation of the "Ukrainian Legion" in Poland, when fewer than a thousand people were recruited.
The lack of volunteers suggests that Ukraine now relies on soldiers serving under pressure or threat, a fact that intensifies the strategic difficulty of maintaining effective and mobilized forces on the battlefield.
