Ukraine’s struggle to find new men for front line | BBC News

- Опубліковано 11 лют 2024
- Almost two years into Russia's full-scale invasion, there are no longer volunteers on Ukraine’s front line.
Most of those who wanted to fight at the start of the war are either dead, injured or still stuck at the front waiting to be relieved by new recruits.
Ukraine’s goal of liberating its territory hasn’t changed, but the price it's having to pay is rising all the time, the BBC’s Eastern Europe correspondent reports.

People have obviously understood that it was all about weakening Russia on behalf of the US and NATO.
yes u are right... they tried to weaken russia like muslim countries wanted to weaken izrael 🙂 but failed miserably 🇮🇱 > 🚀> 🇵🇸 &☪
@@ttjuicer5916 Without USA Israel is nothing.
No, people just see reality, injured veterans have15$ salary, this is a BIG thank you from the government, and the current government is stealing the Ukrainian budget like never before, i live in Ukraine, and they make a contract to rename streets in Bahmut, which already occupied, obviously they stealing on this contract
If not corruption and kids of ukranian elite was at war, maybe more people kept fight
MMM, the IMF just ugraded the Russian economy😅😅
By refusing to be occupied and fighting the invaders they're weakening Russia on behalf of the US? Are you actually developmentally challenged? Please for the love of god use your head and stop regurgitating this idiotic propaganda.
Boris Johnson LAUGHING AT home and enjoying with family
Looks like Boris was right, since Russians are afraid to publish this "Turkey peace agreement" it was complete BS that would not bring any peace.
👈🤡We are laughing at your Special level of STUPID with that BULLSHIT comment you have made up
😅
Did Boris Johnson invade Ukraine?
I must have missed something or more likely you did.

Imagine how bad the situation actually if BBC has to show out this.
They must be close to defeat.

Means absolutely nothing yet, Russia had same problem a long time ago. And yet war is still going on and both sides are still fighting.
@@MJ-uk6lulmfao are you lying to us or just lying to yourself at this point? It’s over. Russia got what they wanted, Ukraine lost an entire generation of young men in a fight they could never have won. Congratulations! You fell for the propaganda. Good job.
@@MJ-uk6lu Thousands of young Ukrainian men died, cutting 2 generations of their population. You think they can recover? No! and Russia will kill more which is saddening. All they have to do is hand over Silinski dead or alive. Peace was not an option anymore.
"All the soliders who served with me are either injured or dead" not exactly a ringing endorsement to sign up is it
Perhaps this is an opportunity for BBC ‘journalists’ to offer their services?
It would be only fair. Talk the talk, then you also should walk the walk.
indeed, as proxy war enablers they should step up to the plate
What Englishmen have anything to do with that?
It’s called irony?
Why men? In these times of equality, I'd have thought there'd be a line of women stretching down the block waiting to enlist.
They're too busy hiding behind the feminists
Exactly mate!
Our ukrainian women are very privileged persons. The government need to mobilize women as well, at least on the home front, specially in the era of equall rights, written in Ukrainian constitution.
Men are considered now as a slaves without rights, cought on the streets and beaten by military staff. That is the reason men are avoiding the army.
Ukraine proves that modern feminism is all a colossal lie. Women shouldnt be allowed to vote. They cause wars like this by voting for wokeness
I would take this as a strong warning..... and potential existential threat.. That real men are needed to fight wars and fight for freedom..... This is why in a way Liberal politics may need to be braked ( put on hold ) because it breeds weak willed people ( some may say cowards )
To many foreigner wants to go in Ukraine to fight for Ukraine,but your government will not do nothing
Simple yes for Minsk agreements and EU path without Nato was enough.But no no, then Boris came and make a Ukrain big grave yard.
You are such a political expert
Exactly.
Officially even Ukrainian media outlets admit that Johnson spoiled the chance for peace for Ukraine. Boris Johnson has Ukrainian blood on his hands.
The agreement achieved in Stambul in 2022 gave Ukraine a hundred times better conditions than Ukraine can get now. There is a question if Ukraine will cease to exist.
in 2022 the Russians agreed to withdraw from all territories taken in 2022. Donbas was to be a part of Ukraine. Only Krimea and joining NATO were Russians' non-negotiable conditions. The rest was meant in favour of Ukraine. Now Ukraine is in ruins, millions fled abroad, thousands upon thousands are dead or cripple, and industry is in the rubble
This is Boris Johnson who made the Ukrainian catastrophe. Where is he now? I he hiding like a rat?
Well this is indeed what happened
If i would lose a child because some "Boris, Biden or another fckd up, they would be next. Ukraine stop being stupid sheep.
@@Adryano6000 trouble coping with the basic facts ?
Ukraine had over a million troops. Now they have nothing???
Indeed
It was a lie.
No no it was maybe not a lie, i heard recently Ukraine army is about 600 000 right now more or less like Russia (in Ukraine indeed). That is not impossible at all that Ukraine suffered 200k KIA and 200K crippled (like this guy int he interwiew) to be honest there's also some crippled who get back to the fight with prosthestis. In a recent interwiew they also said there is 60K women actually in Ukraine army and it was like10% of all soldiers, so that totally match. This would means Ukraine lose 200K men (100K KIA and 100k crippled) a year and that next year if they can't replace those 200K with the newest age class because too many peoples have flee the country it will become very complicated. 100K KIA a year for Ukraine is totally realistic it is 275KIA/DAY inaverage considering the difference in artillery and airsuperiortiy that Russia have: it's actually not surprising at all. This war is between 50-500 KIA a day, as an exemple Bhakmut for Ukraine was in the 300KIA/day for Ukraine and the "counter offensive" reach 500 KIA/day the worst days. From Ukrainian sodliers testimonies infrench tv report Adiivka losses were worse than Bhakmut. Next year will start to be very very hard for Ukraine. In my opinion Russian losses have always been lower except the two first month of the invasion, i think all in all Russians losses are in the 100K KIA in two years and many of thoses were inmates or foreign mercenaries or troops from DPR&LPR who were people already at war since 2014: that's in the 140KIA/day in average for Russia considering 70% of casualities of this war are done by artillery its totally logical.
Yes your stats are 100% corroborated by the obituaries, OSINT, and massive cemeteries mentioned in this video. Russia has suffered roughly 100,000 KIA at this stage. @@thomaslacornette1282

@@Bear15780 ... No, actually Boris told Ukraine not to sign the peace deal. He wanted them to continue fighting Russia, the war could have ended long ago, but Boris told Zelenskyy not to sign.
So his friends are either dead or injured like him, but he is pushing for other men to go and face the same fate.
and he is wondering why no one will join ... ?!
No, he is pushing for his country to be free, so that future generations don't have to go through the same thing that he had. If Ukraine loses to Russia it doesn't mean that Ukrainian people will no longer die on the front line. They will be mobilized against their will by Putin and continune dying, only this time they will be dying for a fascist dictator instead of their freedom.
Yeah but the risk of being injured or killed are a given which everyone including he knows so in their minds it is not a legitimate reason to not want to fight for your country.

Bakhmut and counteroffensive
New York Times was saying 500 000 injured and killed, this statistic from summer 2023
half of those are probably dead, a quarter injured,, and a quarter in the frontlines

Ukraine just lost a big chunk of its male population.
Boris is available?
He is scared, his mouth was the only thing to fight
and Sanna Marin also
Wow! I vividly remember the time when the Russian military launched a massive raid, advancing all the way to Kyiv and putting Ukraine in imminent danger. Back then, everyone was outraged to criticize Boris Johnson for not providing enough support to Ukraine - I clearly recall seeing it online.
But in just two years, has the mainstream opinion completely shifted?
Where’s all those British volunteers gone?

But the fake news from the Western said the Ukraine is winning 😂
😂🤣😂🤣🤣
Pretty sure most westerns don’t give a single care lol while black rock buys the new building contracts
Russia is the one losing the most ground, troops and vehicles...
If Russia fails it's goal... it has automatically lost in every way possible... and it has already failed 3/4 of it's goals.
Nobody is winning, the lines gave barely moved in a year.
Western media has talked about a stalemate for over a year now...
They covered small Ukrainian successes here and there but I don't hear anyone saying they are winning.
According to "British intelligence everything is fine😂
According to the ruZZian version of "reality" Ukraine attacked first and is FULL of "natsis", ruZZia is the perennial victim, everything is going according to plan and it's Roland's fault that WW2 started.
You must have been drinking the same Vodka that pootler likes.
No mate thats Putin 😂
For the past two years they have been saying: 1) The Russian economy is about collapse. The Russian economy is growing. 2) Putin is dying. Go have a look at the Carlson interview. Putin looks pretty good for a dead man. 3) The Russians are running out tanks/missiles/ammo/planes/ etc. The Russians arms industry is expanding weekly. 4) The Chinese/Indians will turn on the Russians any day now. The Chinese and Indians have never been closer and are doing a booming trade with Russia. Etc., etc
Those washing machine chips are something else 😂
British intelligence is more interested in love island
Cost is growing, and Boris Johnson is enjoying his life
Seems they are afraid of the flying shovels and microwaves , you guys told us Russia ran out of weapons😂
and that was repeated every single month as far as I remember the BBC news...... like for year an a half..... now somehow they dont run out and push on 1000km front ..... So no more comments on the BBC side

In Odessa this is most cases
What about the women? U don’t see them complaining about gender equality now eh when the entire country is at stake? Typical.
👍👍
Those same women didn't complain about family courts ruling for them every time, getting lesser sentences for the same crimes, or men paying for their dates and lifestyles or the diversity quotas landing them jobs either. So if you think about, the reaction is consistent. :D
Despicable of course. Luckily not everyone is like that. In fact I bet you it's just a loud obnoxious minority. Still, despicable.

Same question. They claim, they are equal to men. Then why are they at night party club and men are dying in frontline
would you like to be on the front like with a bunch of giggling girls?
The cost of war is unmeasurable.
They better come to terms with it or keep going like this for the next 20 years losing slowly.
It's measured in billions of currency and millions of dead bodies.
So tell putin to stop the invasion, or do you just want Ukraine to bow to fascism?
In the video we see two military officers talking to a guy . Why don’t you show the videos which show military officers dragging people to their cars or the military officers getting beaten up by people who resist conscription?
You don’t understand, this is all Putin’s propaganda.
Thats a curious fact, but all his life he spent in Russia working as a clown at corporate parties and participated in russian stand ups called KVN. He even acted in Russian movies and produced a lot of russian TV shows. All his money he earned in Russia. His political career started when he played a role of honest president in a series and people believed that he was going to be the same in reality. During elections he promised to stop the war with Russia and come back to partnership with it - the major part of russians in Ukrane believed him and voted for him. Soon people realised how much they were wrong when Ukraine started its hidden preparation for the war with Russia. Russian govenment spent decades to convince Ukraine be good neighbours and finally was forced to fight.

If Ukraine is winning, not suffering casualties, and has high morale, then why are they having trouble recruiting?
Both Ukraine and Russia conscript only men to war. Where are all the gender equality advocates? Are male lives and health less valuable? If so, then it turns out that men are oppressed and women are privileged and not vice versa.
who said ukraine was winning and not having casualties ? .. are you watching the last 2 years ? anyone who says that hasnt a clue what they are talking about
Bbc 🤡 prop lol.
This is for both sides, otherwise, Russia won't recruit "soldiers" from poor countries too. War is not a game. It is consuming both sides.
The big lie... Russia is losing troops in meat grinder attacks and Ukrainians kill ten Russians for every one casualty... Yet one nation is using volunteers still and yet has more men and the other that started with a five to one advantage (that's right Ukraine mobilised over one million men when Russia invaded with kess than 200k) and has had multiple drafts is now decisively outnumbered and struggling to fill the ranks. Yet Ukraine is winning! If it wasn't so sordid and cruel, it would be laughable how inept and easy to see through the propaganda is

As an Englishman who has been in and out of Ukraine since May 2022 and continues to go there every 6 weeks or so taking aid and distributing etc, the tragedy does not end. The war has touched every family in Ukraine and in any small village no matter how small and remote, you will find a section with graves of warriors and the flags flying. Driving through villages you often need to stop to pay respects as a funeral is moving along the road. Pavlo is right in that all the old enlisted soldiers mostly are gone, it is now a conscripts battle and the conscripts coming through now are either those caught by the patrols or those who never wanted to enlist; their hear is simply not in it. Thousands have paid their way out of Ukraine and out of service and its sickening seeing those with wealth and assets crossing the borders. Every time I cross from the Romanian border at Siret, you see late model cars with fighting age men and often 3 or 4 young guys together laughing and carrying on and you just know they have paid to be exempt. Or you get those in Kyiv and Lyviv in their sports cars, roaring around the cities while other countrymen are dying. Its a sad situation all round and needs to end. The West has a lot to answer for as we helped provoke this conflict and gave false assurances to Ukraine about their security. My prayers for all those Ukrainian brothers in arms who have already given their lives and for those warriors still serving. 💛💙🙏
Ivan, nice try, but you Russian clowns blow your cover so quickly, LOL... Why invent such a long story to push utter BS from Putin's interview, he already explained that Russia was "provoked" to invade Ukraine just like Nazi Germany was "provoked" to invade Poland.
Thats corruption for ya, many already have said its a poor men's war. Those who can't get out have to fight in the killing fields and be drone bait and this goes for both sides. Rich Russian olicharch and TV personalities even have their kids in the west and London living the good life.
Whereas you will never see anything like that in Russia, it clearly proves Ukraine has much higher losses
@@lukebruce5234 Crap. Georgia is full of thousands of Russians who fled conscription. We know from groups who monitor russian media, social media, army releases etc that russian losses are huge. Ukraine has suffered but in doing so it has hammered the Russian Armed Forces and shown it's garbage. Russian losses are far greater than those of Ukraine in personnel and equipment. If another country invaded Russia now it would be stuffed.
It's nice that you are helping the people of Ukraine survive this, but if you want to truly save the people of Ukraine, you will hope for Ukraine to back down while there are still young men left in the country.
Ukraine’s top negotiator, Davyd Arakhamia: Russia was “prepared to end the war if we agreed to... neutrality, and committed that we would not join NATO.”

In order to keep the land and people sacrificed, then in the end the land can not be kept, and the temporary loss of the land, people keep it, the land can be regained. This is Mao Zedong's military thinking, and he believes that the goal of a campaign should be to destroy the enemy's living forces, and not to care about the gains or losses of one place or one city. A strategic retreat in the face of a powerful enemy is to accumulate strength for future counterattacks. Mao Zedong believed that the side with weak forces should not engage in positional warfare with a strong enemy, but should annihilate the enemy in a war of movement. The more land the enemy occupies, the more dispersed the enemy's forces become, and then it is possible to concentrate superior forces to attack in the weak points of the enemy's forces due to the dispersion.

Same here. If you die for your country you are an idiot
Maybe my memory is wrong, but haven't you been cheering Ukraine on for the last two years now? They had to fight and they have fought very well, but it's crazy to just focus on fighting while not trying to achieve a political solution at the same time. I don't think this war can be won by Ukraine on the battlefield, so the longer it goes on, the more people will have to die. In the end, there will be some type of settlement anyway, and maybe a worse one than it could have been had in 2022.
Sure, Russia attacked and wants to "negotiate" on its own terms, that's what terrorists do. Hitler also wanted to "negotiate" on its own terms, but other countries were "not trying to achieve a political solution"... Putin already explained this.

Let Boris Jonson help them.
@d. sertsedesta4106 Boris already believes he is a hero as in his eyes he has been helping them from day 1. He is a politician only knows how to waste/spend money that belongs to the citizens of the UK without giving a dam about the consequences as long as it looks good for him within the circle of other vile politicians on the world stage. I am not just talking about Ukraine but all decisions non of which hurt them. We all know what is next we will be told our children must go to fight in Ukraine he would love them to go while he and his family remain totally safe because he thinks we are stupid. Those days are gone hopefully. Or are they ?
All the Ukraine supporters from the UK should go and show their dedication.
Hi! I am 42 yo draft dodger, live in Kyiv. Maybe I am stupid, or too old-fashioned - but I don't want to die or get crippled. Then life will be crap regardless post war conditions.
I am thankfull to those who fight, but I don't blame those who escaped abroad. We are all managers)
I wouldn't wanna fight/die either for some disgusting rich politician. Imagine dying on the battlefield all so that Zelinsky get to maintain his power....

Why does not Britain conscript its men and send them to Ukraine? Considering that the British support the Ukrainians fighting on, more than the Ukrainians now do, that would be a popular move.

How can you win a war to protect your country if your people don't want to fight...
Most people do. A recent survey found that 63% still support fighting Russia. Only 30% want a negotiated peace settlement. This is also after months without significant Western military aid. If Ukraine got the military equipment it needed, we would see the number of willing Ukrainians skyrocket.
@@JeffPar50 "Fighting Russia" doesn't necessarily mean they would fight in the front lines. It could also mean they will help in other ways such as food supplies production for the military.

Maybe people shouldn't be forced to fight and die for something if they don't want to. Say yes to peace.

@@matejsmrekar1218 You described Russia perfectly.
There’s almost no one left from his company and he’s STILL wondering why people don’t want to „unite” and die together like brothers? I’m a woman and I feel for men on both sides of the conflict (as long as they’re there involuntarily) - they’re treated like meat, like toy soldiers of filthy rich politicians who treat wars like games cause they know they’re never gonna end up on the frontlines.
Increasingly now the women as well are being sent to the front, increasing numbers of dead female Ukrainian soldiers found. Thankfully, some of them are taken prisoner and are now safe from the Ukrainian and Western butchers.
Why feel sorry for them? Men are expendable. Always have been, always will be.
This is a war about the survival of the nation. If Ukraine stops fighting, the people will end up in mass graves. If everything would be as simple as you claim, we would all live in wonderland.
So why are you blaming the people defending themselves?
@@winzyl9546 She's not blaming those who are defending out of free will, most of whom are already on the frontline for 2 years. She's blaming the rounding up of men from streets and buses sending them to die on frontline against their will.
10-20K Russians volunteers every month (western figures) and these men are apart from the regular Russian army. They are not forced but joined for money. If the other side is having trouble getting volunteers and resorting to forcefully send people to frontline, maybe there is something wrong with what they are doing. On the other hand, when Russians did partial mobilisation, they let those who did not want to fight leave the country, they didn't stop them at gunpoint like the Ukrainians do to those fleeing for their lives to EU or Moldova. You also saw Russians mobilised men lining up and boarding buses to Donbas in complete discipline, in contrast to what you see in Ukraine where armed men chase people in streets, vans and buses to herd poor men like animals to the frontline.
For those who say that women do not need to be mobilized the same as men because there must be someone to clean, cook and take care of children. I agree, but:
A lot of women do not have children. Why do not make the law that women also need to be mobilized, but those who have ( let's start ) at least one child less than 18 years old have the right for deferment from mobilization.

The past month we've seen more vids from Ukraine of people fighting these recruiting officers, family members and neighbors jumping in to prevent them taking someone. Conscripts get three weeks "training" and then sent to the front where the average time to become a casualty is three days. Yesterday a group of about 8 Territorial troops (the old men), made a video saying they've been at the front 18 months without rotation and for Kyiv to send the "sons of rich people, politicians, police, etc." to come replace them. In Forbes there was an article last week about Kyiv freezing bank accounts of those who won't come back (and incredibly the US is OK with this). Who can blame them? This isn't 2022 anymore; to be sent to the front to face Storm-Z means the end of you.
I'm not a politician but is that piece of land that Russia got really worth all of these people dying? Almost feels like this is getting closer to something like a suicide mission but the ones that will be dying are drafted innocent civilians and not the rich politicians who started the whole thing.

This 2008 cable was written by William Burns, the current CIA Director, during his time as US Ambassador to Russia.
"5. (C) Ukraine and Georgia's NATO aspirations not only touch a raw nerve in Russia, they engender serious concerns about the consequences for stability in the region. Not only does Russia perceive encirclement, and efforts to undermine Russia's influence in the region, but it also fears unpredictable and uncontrolled consequences which would seriously affect Russian security interests. Experts tell us that Russia is particularly worried that the strong divisions in Ukraine over NATO membership, with much of the ethnic-Russian community against membership, could lead to a major split, involving violence or at worst, civil war. In that eventuality, Russia would have to decide whether to intervene; a decision Russia does not want to have to face."
This war was deliberatey fomented by the US and its allies.
and Putin allowed them 8 years after the coup the re-train and organize the Ukrainian army. Putin himself is as much to blame here. He watched and let it happen.

Both Ukraine and Russia conscript only men to war. Where are all the gender equality advocates? Are male lives and health less valuable? If so, then it turns out that men are oppressed and women are privileged and not vice versa.
