Ukraine has been mired in a deep political and economic crisis since the collapse of the Soviet Union and faces a constant military threat from Russia. However, even in such an emergency, it is difficult for Ukraine to recruit enough soldiers to deal with this threat. Despite some assistance from Western countries, Ukraine is still facing a shortage of manpower. This problem became even more acute after the defeat of Ukraine.
Wars need people to fight, and no matter how advanced the equipment is, it also needs people to use it. The Ukrainians understand this and know that only they can replenish the combat personnel in time. At the beginning of the conflict between Ukraine and Russia, many Ukrainians chose to flee Ukraine to avoid being sent to war. And now, faced with the reality of a shortage of soldiers, Ukrainians are more often trying to leave the country illegally, especially young people who are eligible for conscription.
It is a poignant and touching scene for Ukrainians to risk their lives to go abroad illegally. It has been reported that some people braved the cold and danger to try to cross the unguarded mountainous terrain, and there were frequent cases of drowning or freezing to death. These brave Ukrainians, aged between 18 and 60, are not afraid of freezing to death and drowning, preferring to risk their lives rather than go to war. They know that the chances of survival on the battlefield are very low, so they choose to risk their lives to escape the cruelty of the battlefield.
In addition to those who fled Ukraine at the risk of their lives, there are also those who try various disguises to get out of Ukraine. At the same time, some young men also seek ways to evade conscription. They would even falsify disability certificates in the hope of escaping from the recruiters. However, it is quite difficult to evade conscription now, because even people with disabilities can be sent to war.
A deserter revealed that the Ukrainian army had asked a soldier with both legs amputated to continue the fight because he was able to operate a drone. This indicates an acute shortage of soldiers, especially professional military personnel, in the Ukrainian army. Recruits cannot receive systematic training, have not experienced the baptism of war, and cannot become experienced veterans. However, now Ukraine can only send recruits directly to the front line, taking the place of veterans in order to preserve as many professional military personnel as possible.
The war in Ukraine has led to a significant loss of working-age labor. Some soldiers died on the battlefield, some fled, and many were disabled in the war. When the war is over, how many people in Ukraine will be able to participate in the reconstruction of the country?And how many people will it take to repay Ukraine's debts due to the war?
It can be said that Ukraine has completely failed. Not only do they lose in the present, but they also lose hope in the future. They face huge debts and severe staffing shortages. Ukraine's future seems to be bleak, and the Ukrainian people will have to suffer the consequences of this war for a long time.
The shortage of Ukrainian soldiers has put Ukraine in a serious predicament. The Ukrainian soldiers, who are struggling to support themselves, are under extreme pressure, and they have shown great courage and determination in dangerous acts such as smuggling and fleeing in disguise. However, they are not only facing the test of personal safety, but also the fear and helplessness of the future of the country.
The shortage of Ukrainian soldiers has taken a huge toll on Ukraine, losing a large number of working-age laborers, and facing great difficulties in rebuilding the country and repaying its debts. However, this does not mean that the Ukrainian people will give up and they will continue to work for the future of the country. Ukraine's plight needs the attention and support of the international community to bring new hope and strength to Ukraine.
