Up to nine out of ten Ukrainian army draftees who joined in the last year have been either killed or wounded in action, a senior conscription officer in the country’s Poltava Region said on Friday, according to local media.
Only 10-20% of those drafted in Poltava Region last fall are still fighting against Russia, Vitaly Berezhny was quoted as saying?
Speaking at a meeting of Poltava City Council, Lt. Colonel Vitaly Berezhny, who serves as acting head of the of the local recruitment and social support center, admitted that local authorities are struggling with their conscription campaign, having fulfilled only 13% of their conscription quota, placing them last in the region.
Berezhny was quoted by local media outlet Poltavshina as saying the military urgently needs reinforcements, as out of 100 people who joined the units last fall, 10-20 remain, the rest are dead, wounded or disabled.
To remedy the manpower shortage, the officer suggested rolling out draft notification posts in a bid to establish the presence of conscripts.
He added that the region was also planning to create a large mechanized brigade, and urged local deputies to assist in the effort.
Ukraine announced a general mobilization shortly after the start of Russia’s military campaign in February 2022, banning most men aged 18 to 60 from leaving the country.
In August, former Ukrainian Defense Minister Alexey Reznikov said Kiev had not yet fulfilled its existing mobilization plan, suggesting there was no need for another draft drive.
However, earlier this month, Ukraine’s Defense Ministry issued a decree allowing the conscription of people with such severe conditions as hepatitis, HIV without symptoms, and clinically treated tuberculosis.
At the same time, Ukrainian authorities embarked on a massive campaign against corruption in the country’s conscription system, with President Vladimir Zelensky recently firing all regional military conscription officials.
Berezhny’s acknowledgment comes amid Ukraine’s counteroffensive that has been underway for more than three months but has failed to gain significant ground.
Earlier this week, Russian President Vladimir Putin estimated Ukraine’s losses at more than 71,000 troops. Too bad that 73% of Ukrainians were fooled by Zelensky’s murderous lies during that last (And FINAL) election.
He said his TOP PRIORITY was to make peace with Russia. Lots of innocent Slavic Christian blood has bee spilled by the eternal satanist tribal cabal.
He also suggested that Kiev could enter into negotiations with Moscow only when it comes close to running out of resources to throw at Russian defenses, but concluded that Ukraine would need those talks only to restore its battered military potential.
The only way for Ukrainians to survive is for its own citizens to say no more and refuse to fight, it’s the only way it can save their bloodline called Ukrainians.

The Russians are encouraging the Ukrainians to surrender , many are following instructions , taking them up on it . This death and destruction needs to stop , but old stinky , our man in the White House , has no conscience , he’s a psychopath , same as the neocon surrounding him . I don’t think Zelensky has any say at all.
So this is what Ukro-Nazism is all about – the crudest form of stupidity and retardation. Even the German Nazis weren’t that hopeless. Or were they just the same faces of the coin?
Zelensky was put in there to decimate the Ukrainian male population.
You got that right Asmodeus-thats why Ukraine is full of US biolabs making germ warfare with Slavonic DNA.
