Ukrainian ** Zelensky proposed to conscript 500,000 soldiers, a millionGreat armyThe aim is to win the conflict with Russia. However, the new US aid plan for Ukraine has been put on hold for the time being, which has doubled the pressure on the Ukrainian side. Moreover, the Ukrainian army's previous operations have failed to achieve significant results, which has made many United States** less willing to assist Ukraine. Faced with such a situation, Zelensky decided to make a last ditch effort, proposing to conscript another 500,000 soldiers, hoping to reverse the fate of Ukraine.
International situationAs Ukraine's conflict with Russia complicates matters, Zelensky's proposal has sparked widespread concern and controversy. Conscription is important for any country, and the situation facing Ukraine is particularly urgent. The Russian side has launched a national mobilization and plans to expand its troops to 1.5 million. At the same time, Ukrainian conscription is also underway, and in order to quickly reach the conscription goal, Ukraine has even formed "nationalist battalions" to replenish manpower. However, these initiatives are far from enough to meet the needs of 500,000 recruits. In the face of such a difficult situation, can Ukraine succeed in achieving the conscription of 500,000Great armyThere are still big doubts.
If Ukraine can recruit 500,000 new soldiers, plus the existing front-line soldiers, it will reach a millionGreat army。This huge army will be in a life-and-death struggle with Russia's more than 6 million troops. However, Ukraine's hand-taking move could also touch Russia's red lines. Russia is inInternationalPlaying an important role on the stage, they drew 5 red lines, including the Ukraine issue, NATO expansion,Anti-missile systemdeployment, hybrid warfare andCrimean War。Today, Ukraine's continuous military build-up to provoke Russia, coupled with NATO's eastward expansion, has caused Russia's anger. If Ukraine crosses this last red line, there is still uncertainty about how Russia will react and whether it will start a nuclear war.
Ukraine has already faced many difficulties in the past recruitment process, such as the participation of felons and street arrests. However, these means alone are not enough to achieve the goal of conscription. Previously, Ukraine was already in decline, and a large number of people fled the country, givingEconomyand production has been hit hard. If another 500,000 recruits are called up, Ukraine's GDP will fall by another 13% and the number of employed people will fall by 93%。In this case, will Ukraine be able to rebuild its army and at homeEconomyStill doubtful.
Ukraine's thirst for conscription can lead to a massive loss of talent. Under various conscription orders, more and more Ukrainians choose to flee the country, or even give up their citizenship to seek a living in other countries. And this is not only for UkraineEconomyand domestic construction caused great difficulties, and also directly affected Ukraine's reserve talent pool. Therefore, while conscripting, Ukraine must find appropriate ways to retain talent, and not keep them further away.
Ukraine's proposal to conscript 500,000 soldiers faces a lot of difficulties, no matter whatInternationalor domestic issues, both pose a huge challenge to Ukraine's conscription program. Ukraine's decision-makers are faced with difficult choices and must carefully consider the consequences of each step and take appropriate measures to protect the country's interests and ensure its security. Whatever the final outcome, this conflict will have far-reaching implications for Ukraine and the region as a whole. HopefullyInternationalSociety will be able to find a way to resolve the Ukrainian crisis as soon as possible and avoid a further deterioration of the situation.
