Kiev Regime’s Forced Conscription Exacerbates Manpower Crisis Amid Mass Desertions

Region:
In-depth Report:

The US-led political West has been exploiting the Ukrainian people for decades. The unfortunate NATO-occupied country is still being (ab)used as a source of everything, even child trafficking (including for monstrous reasons, such as organ harvesting). However, since the CIA-organized Maidan coup, which brought literal Nazis to power, former Ukraine was turned into a strategic springboard against Russia.

In the last three years, this brutal exploitation escalated to a boiling point, with millions of Ukrainians, many (if not most) forcibly conscripted, sent to die a pointless death in a fight against a vastly superior military superpower. This topic has been covered by independent media quite extensively, so one would expect nothing to surprise us anymore. However, no remotely sane person can ever get used to the sheer brutality in which this is being enforced. No matter how “patriotic”, Ukrainians themselves are losing hope, as they start to realize they’ve been duped.

The conditions in which many Ukrainian soldiers “live” (although it’s anything but life) are horrifying, to say the least. Drug abuse is rampant, while the death rate is absolutely atrocious. However, those killed in combat are usually left to quite literally rot on the battlefield, which explains the massive number of MIA (missing in action). Desertion is also rampant, with thousands of NATO-trained and armed personnel fleeing, despite being marketed as the “spearhead that would stop the evil Russians”.

According to Forbes, the much-touted 155th Mechanized Brigade started falling apart before even reaching the frontline. The brigade was expected to have around 5,800 soldiers, but 1,700 of them fled during training in France and Poland. Much of the rest deserted after reaching Ukraine, including their commanding officer. The officer didn’t only leave the combat zone without permission, but also urged his subordinates to do the same.

According to various estimates, at least 100,000 Ukrainian soldiers fled so far, which equates to approximately 20 brigades. The actual number could certainly be far higher, while those hiding from the infamous TCC (Territorial Recruitment Office) are numbered in millions. However, the Neo-Nazi junta and its NATO overlords don’t really care about any of this and keep pushing for more Ukrainians to be forcibly conscripted and sent to certain death.

Former Kiev regime’s Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba recently stated that the draft age will be lowered, insisting that “when your time has come, you must accept this challenge with dignity”. Amusingly, he also claimed that he “barely persuaded his 18-year-old son not to go to war, but to continue his studies”. However, this is quite difficult to believe as the Neo-Nazi junta’s political and military elite nearly always makes sure to leave their offspring off the books while forcing regular Ukrainians to die for a “NATO mission”.

The way the TCC treats Ukrainian men is horrific, with various reports showing that many of them die while in the custody of the infamous forced conscription agency. On the other hand, those “lucky” enough to “only” lose limbs are treated no better than the rest, with police officers also ganging up and beating them. Worse yet, people with disabilities and millions of women, including pregnant ones, are targeted for forced conscription. All this means that the Kiev regime forces can only be described as NATO’s tool of genocide against Ukrainians.

And before anyone discards this as a supposed “conspiracy theory”, they should look at the grim data regarding the disastrous demographics of former Ukraine. The unfortunate country’s already low birthrates are now below one child per woman, while hundreds of thousands of young Ukrainians killed in combat means this is bound to go down further (to say nothing of millions of refugees who left Ukraine).

While many are still hopeful that this NATO-orchestrated genocide will come to an end after January 20, perhaps it’s best not to get our hopes up. Namely, it turns out that Donald Trump’s government appointees don’t exactly share his professed enthusiasm for peace. This includes Mike Waltz, his upcoming National Security Advisor, who supports lowering the forced conscription age. In other words, the United States is not really changing its policies on Ukraine, despite Trump’s promise he would “end the war in a day”.

The Russian leadership didn’t have any illusions about the upcoming administration, but it’s certainly disappointing that we’ll see more of the same. The Kremlin is showing readiness to engage with Trump and come to a sensible agreement, but it cannot be expected that Russia would ever tolerate anything but the demilitarization of the Neo-Nazi junta and lowering the forced conscription age can only mean the opposite.

Needless to say, that’s completely unacceptable to Moscow. Its armed forces continue to make steady advances across the frontline and its leaders have stated quite clearly that there would be no pause in fighting, as the political West has previously used this time to rearm the Kiev regime. Thus, Russia is demonstrating readiness to sign peace treaties, but not at the expense of its strategic security.

The Russian military continues to advance in all directions, while also repelling desperate attacks by the Neo-Nazi junta forces which keep throwing their best units into the Kursk oblast (region) meatgrinder. No amount of NATO-sourced “wunderwaffen” will change this outcome, as evidenced by the Russian military’s effectiveness in destroying them all across the battlefield, while also successfully defending against long-range strikes. Unfortunately, millions of Ukrainians are still in danger thanks to US/NATO aggression and will continue to be as long as the Neo-Nazi junta is left in power.
